Scaling a high-growth organization requires leadership, but the traditional talent pool offers two bad choices.

Promote the Star Player

You take your top individual contributor and make them a manager. The Result? You lose your best producer and gain a manager with zero leadership training.

Hire the "paper manager"

You hire a generic Ops Manager with a shiny resume. The Result? They know spreadsheets but fear the friction. They are disconnected from the front lines, struggle to earn respect, and cause culture to fracture.

The Deployment Protocol:

We don't rely on job boards. We execute a rigorous scouting process modeled after professional sports franchises.

The Combine (Vetting)

Resumes can be faked. DNA cannot. We put every candidate through a behavioral 'combine,' testing for our three non-negotiables: Coacability, Resilience, and Team-First discipline. If they can't handle the pressure here, they won't handle your job site.

The Game Doesn't End
It Evolves


A message from the co-founders:


Between the two of us, we spent a combined 14 years in professional baseball.


We lived the grind. We rode the buses, played through the injuries, and chased the dream of the Major Leagues with everything we had. But along that journey, we identified a massive gap in the system- two distinct "Identity Cliffs" that professional athletes face, often alone.


The First Cliff: The End of the Road

We watched teammates retire- players who had spent decades mastering the art of discipline, resilience, and teamwork- only to find themselves lost in the "real world."


They possessed intangible skills that any CEO would kill for, but because they lacked a traditional corporate resume, they were overlooked. The market saw a "rookie," but we saw a veteran of high-pressure execution.


We felt compelled to fix this. We realized our mission was to translate their story, proving to companies that an athlete’s mindset is the ultimate business asset.


The Second Cliff: The Off-Season Grind

We also know the struggle of the active player. The guys who are still in the fight, grinding through the Minor Leagues. The reality is, the pay often doesn't match the effort, and the off-season becomes a desperate scramble to fund the dream for one more year. These players don't want a career change; they want a way to survive the winter so they can thrive in the spring.


Why We Built 643 Search Partners

We exist to bridge these gaps. We're not just a staffing agency; we're a lifeline for the athlete and a goldmine for the employer.


  • For the Retired Player: We provide a pathway to a second career that honors their first. We help them translate their locker room leadership into boardroom value, placing them in roles where their grit can anchor a company’s operations.


  • For the Active Player: We identify flexible, high-intensity seasonal roles that allow them to earn a living wage in the off-season. This gives them the financial confidence to buy another year of cleats, another year of training, and another shot at the Big Leagues.


The Win-Win: When you partner with us, you become part of this ecosystem. You aren't just filling a shift or hiring a manager. You're gaining a team member with world-class discipline, and you're potentially funding the dream of the next guy to step onto a Major League field.


We built this company because we believe that the character built between the lines shouldn't be wasted once you step outside of them.


Welcome to the Roster.

FAQ

Still have some questions? Let us go through them.

My industry is highly technical. Can an a professional athlete really manage my operation without 10 years of experience?

You don't have a skills gap; you have a leadership gap. Most industrial failures happen because of poor communication and weak culture, not a lack of technical knowledge. Technical skills can be taught in 90 days. The ability to lead under pressure, take accountability, and drive a team takes a lifetime to build. We provide the Command Presence; your team provides the technical specs.

"I've been burned by seasonal temp agencies. How is this different?

Traditional agencies send you "warm bodies." We send you disciplined teams. Our seasonal rosters are filled with active minor league and athletes who are physically conditioned for hard work and mentally trained to follow orders. They show up early, they understand the chain of command, and they don't quit when the work gets hard.

What does '80-Grade Makeup' actually mean?

In professional scouting, "80" is the highest possible grade for a specific tool. We use it to grade the intangibles: Grit, Resilience, and Coachability. We don't just read resumes; we run candidates through a behavioral "Combine" to ensure they have the psychological stability to handle your high-pressure environment.

How long does the placement process take?

Because we maintain an active "bench" of pre-vetted athletes transitioning from their sport, we move faster than traditional search firms. For seasonal crews, we can often mobilize within days. For leadership roles, we skip the "posting and praying" phase and go straight to our shortlist of ready-to-work candidates.
