Welcome to CMM Search CMM Search is a trusted global recruitment service used by over 90 golf businesses and brands to identify and attract exceptional talent to their organisations.

CMM Search locates appropriate candidates for senior roles, engages with them, and subsequently benchmarks and evaluates their skills, ensuring the very best person is always employed, not just someone who is available and competent.

The CMM Search process – managed by the company’s highly trained and experienced consultants – has become the trusted method of executive recruitment across a variety of golf industry sectors including proprietary and private members’ clubs, resorts, hotel groups and travel.

This blue chip service is also used by many trade associations, governing bodies, equipment manufacturers, apparel companies, multi-site operators, turfcare and irrigation companies.

CMM Search prides itself on going beyond golf and identifying candidates with transferable skills from other industries that can add significant value to a golf business. In fact, 77% of candidates sourced for golf industry roles via CMM Search were not previously on the company’s database.

During a typical six to eight-week search process, CMM’s research specialists engage with potential candidates around the world, creating a systematic candidate evaluation matrix, which benchmarks a shortlist against the hiring criteria and job description.



This document offers a precise and very detailed overview of each candidate’s strengths and weaknesses and is vital in ensuring the best candidate is hired.

CMM Search has successfully identified and placed many of the industry’s top executives and is a proven solution that pinpoints, and then persuades, high achievers that are often already employed and performing well, to change roles.

Throughout the search and selection process CMM is in constant contact with both the shortlisted candidates and the client and will also, on request, play a part of the final interview process.

CMM will also retain a regular dialogue with a successful candidate during the initial stages of their new role, ensuring the transition is seamless and both parties enjoy a strong and profitable working relationship.

“CMM Search is the most comprehensive search and selection service currently available to the global golf industry. Through detailed processes and analysis, CMM Search pinpoints and attracts the finest executive talent for your business.”



Benefits of CMM Search

6 - 8 week search and benchmarking process… Thorough evaluation of the global talent pool, using digital platforms, databases and its consultants’ own detailed network of business contacts and industry expertise, CMM creates a shortlist of suitable candidates.

Face-to-face contact with candidates… Where possible, CMM will meet and interview all candidates for a role. Where people can’t be seen face-to-face, CMM will use Skype and other professional video conferencing services to engage with candidates and discuss their appetite for the role.

Delivery of a detailed Candidate Evaluation Matrix… As a part of any professional search, the CMM research team creates a highly detailed Candidate Evaluation Matrix that analyses the strengths and weaknesses of each shortlisted candidate, benchmarked against the job description and requirement. This vital document becomes an important guide for the employer during the final stages of the selection process.

When a search is completed, CMM’s work doesn’t stop… CMM always retains a regular dialogue with a successful candidate during the initial stages of new employment, ensuring the transition is seamless, trouble free and highly successful.

CMM guarantees its work… Should a successful candidate decide to leave the role during the agreed initial period (normally three-six months), CMM will find a replacement free of charge.
