Sportspeople joins global sports recruitment partnership covering Asia, Europe and North America
March 6, 2014

As part of the continued growth of its recruitment and executive search services, Sportspeople has announced the establishment of global recruitment partnership in New York, Shanghai and Paris.

Joining with sports recruitment partners in these cities, the partnership will provide a suite of services for both jobseekers and employers, extending Sportspeople's recruitment and executive search activities beyond Australia and New Zealand into the North American, Europe/UK and Asia/China markets.

Announcing the link, Sportspeople Managing Director Robert McMurtrie believes the partnership will be a valuable tool for the reach of Sportspeople's recruitment and executive search activities.

McMurtrie explained "we recognise we live and work in a highly connected world with the ability to alert jobseekers to opportunities quickly and efficiently, regardless of where they might live.

"In fact, we believe Sportspeople's Job Seeker network for senior executive roles including chief executive, marketing/communications directors, event specialists (such as) high performance directors, national coaching directors and national performance coaches is second to none, reaching across the key global markets and including those working within, and other executives seeking employment in, the sport sector.

"Now, as an added bonus to our clients looking for world's best candidates, Sportspeople has a wider reach with specialist, global recruitment partners Sport Business Talent located in Paris (servicing Europe/UK), Prodigy Sports located in New York (servicing North America) and VS.talent located in Shanghai (servicing Greater China/Asia).

"This is in addition, of course, to Sportspeople's executive search and recruitment throughout Australia and New Zealand (Oceania), a market where we have been the leading recruiter since 1996.

"Each partner has been carefully chosen as they share a common goal of bringing the best employers and job seekers together. Each partner is a boutique agency offering highly specialised services, with strong credentials and experiences in the sport sector and allied industries. Importantly, each partner embraces merit based recruitment and has similar practices and philosophies to Sportspeople in their candidates and employer management systems."

Positions advertised by these global recruitment partners will appear at the Sportspeople Jobs Market with applications and enquiries direct to the lead partner. Conversely, senior executive roles managed by Sportspeople in the future will appear at the websites of each global recruitment partner, broadening the reach of each and every Sportspeople executive search assignment.
