Cross Country/Track and Field Star Shines with Client

NexGoal recently completed a search for an Account Executive position with a national chemical company. We are excited to announce that the  former college Cross Country and Track standout, accepted the position this past month. He was a 4 time NAIA Cross Country National Qualifier and 4 time NAIA Track and Field National Qualifier in the 5,000, 10,000 and 3,000 meter steeplechase. His journey after athletics lead him into the United States Navy where he was awarded numerous medals including the National Defense Service Medal and the Navy “E” Ribbon. He then started his career in sales, where he was able to apply his drive and competitiveness to the business world.

Judd is a typical NexGoal candidate – someone who is highly focused, loyal, confident, competitive and driven. NexGoal Project Coordinator Angela Berardinelli, specifically worked with Judd on placing him with our client company. He comments on his experience with NexGoal and our mission of pairing athletes with clients:

“I had a very positive experience with Angela Berardinelli. Angela was organized and provided me with the necessary information that I needed in order to succeed in the hiring process. It is great to see an organization such as NexGoal promote former college athletes and the strengths that we bring to the workplace.”

The NexGoal team is proud of our results in successfully matching our clients with strong athlete-candidates like Judd. Learn more about our client’s opportunities on our career page.

Pro Athlete Business Group Conference

Pro Athlete Business Group Conference

The NexGoal team recently attended the Pro Athlete Business Group conference in Sacramento, CA. The 2-day show featured approximately 75 former athletes.  The purpose of the conference was to introduce new business opportunities and career transition assistance to former players. Many businesses and individuals presented throughout the week.

NexGoal CEO Kevin Dahl was honored to speak about our services – he connected many athletes and received inquiries about the NexGoal concept.

“Thanks again for your participation and input. It meant so much to us, the participating athletes, and to Pro Athlete Business group as a whole.”

– Anthony Simmons, Executive Director

Some other highlights of the show were the presentations of Annett Lynch and her book, Success Beyond Sport (more here), and keynote speaker Bernie Kosar.  Annett’s vision of helping athletes through a series of self assessments and personal assignments really resonated with the audience.  Her book is a great tool to get started in the process of career discovery and personal application.

Bernie received a standing ovation for his speech which was directed at all the athletes in attendance to stick together as a team in retirement.  Bernie is also a part owner of Genewise, a DNA specific health enhancement company. Genewise contributed to his message for athletes taking care of their bodies after the sport. Every presentation covered a wide range of topics, but was centered on one thing- athletes in transition.

The Pro Athlete Business Group Conference proved to be a great show, with great people and great stories. NexGoal looks forward to next year’s conference in Phoenix.

Going the Extra Mile for Clients

The NexGoal team continues to impress our corporate clients, not only with the candidates we produce, but the appealing process with which we conduct our searches.

One of NexGoal’s clients in the Medical Labs industry has repeatedly expressed their pleasure with our process. Our team has placed candidates for both junior and senior level roles with multiple hiring managers. Bret, one of the Regional Sales Managers, has used NexGoal’s services for numerous positions all over the United States.

“What impressed me initially about NexGoal was the time that they spent with us up front understanding the core competencies required for our roles. What we have found is that we receive candidates that not only have the expected skills and experience, but more importantly, we receive candidates that have the intangible winning qualities like hunger, drive, and passion. The screening process that they have developed is the best that I have seen in the industry. When I have a NexGoal candidate in front of me, I know that they have thoroughly matched the candidate’s experience and skills to our company culture. The time that they spend with us for each opening really pays off. I can always count on first class candidates at the interviews.”

At NexGoal we take pride in building client relationships from the ground up. When Bret first engaged with us, the message of trying to find a competitive, driven and dedicated individual was a mutual understanding. As subsequent opportunities in their organization came open, the searches were easy to engage because of the solid foundation established at the start.
