The candidate for the job needs to have at least three years working with “elite athletes and athletes facing processes.” They also need to have some experience working in sports and entertainment. Knowledge about WWE is also preferred, but it’s pretty low on the list.

WWE had a great recruiter in Gerald Brisco, but he was let go last year. Now it appears that WWE is looking for more assistance in looking for hidden gems within the pro wrestling and athletic world.
