Job description
In addition to finding undiscovered talent, the A&R coordinator
can also use all of these same resources in order to court
artists who already have existing record contracts with
competing record labels. If a deal is made with one of these
artists or bands, the A&R coordinator may have to wait for the
existing contract to expire before signing the artist to their own
label. This isn't necessarily the case, though, and they may also
have the option to buy the artist's contract right away. Of
course, in order to do that, the A&R coordinator will usually have
to be prepared with a very attractive offer.
