SPORTS SCOUTS WANTED!

A Scout is an individual who reports sports data directly from the venue. For example, they might report a touchdown or a fumble during a football game, or a buzzer-beater in Basketball.

To become a  Scout, you must be based near a covered college football or basketball team, as  you would need to report directly from the venue.

As a Scout, you will be compensated based on the number of games covered each week plus relevant reimbursed expenses.

We pay a base rate of $225 for each completed football game, $175 for basketball. Additionally, we pay a $100 success bonus for each of the first 3 completed games from the venue (total of $300). Taking college football as an example, if you cover 6 games in your first season, you will make 6 x $225 plus $300 bonus = $1,650. If you were to additionally cover college basketball, which can be an expected 15 or so home games, per season you would make a further $2,625.

Your application will be reviewed. If it is selected to proceed to the next stage of the recruitment process, you will be contacted by the internal team responsible for an interview. During the interview, you’ll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and ask any questions you may have. If everyone is satisfied with the conversation, your application will move forward.

To become a Scout, you need:

• A passion for sports and an understanding of the game’s dynamics.
• To be eligible for work in the United States.
• Proficiency in spoken English.
• A mobile phone with a stable internet connection for live reporting.
• The willingness and ability to travel to your local college sports venues.
• Be over 18 years of age.
• Successful completion of comprehensive training before live game reporting (usually 5 to 10 hours), with direct mentorship from an experienced trainer.
• Prior experience in similar roles is not required.
