BeRecruited is a platform within the spectator sports sector that supports college athletics recruiting across 31 sports. It enables student-athletes to create a free online profile that functions as a digital résumé, showcasing athletic and academic stats, videos, and photos, and it connects them with college coaches. The service has a large user base, with more than two million registered users and a network of over 30,000 college coaches, and its registered athletes come from more than 80 percent of U.S. high schools. Athletes can also purchase premium products to further promote themselves to coaches. Founded in 2000 by Ryan Spoon, a former Duke University swimmer, BeRecruited emerged from an effort to simplify the recruiting process for future collegiate athletes. In 2018 the company expanded into esports by becoming the official recruiting partner of the National Association of Collegiate Esports, reflecting its broader approach to college athletics recruitment.
