Sportspeople Announces Global Recruitment Partnership - North America, Europe/UK & Asia
As part of the continued growth of its recruitment and executive search services, Sportspeople is pleased to announce the establishment of global recruitment partners in New York, Shanghai and Paris. These partners will provide a suite of services for both Job Seekers and Employers, extending Sportspeople’s recruitment and executive search activities beyond Australia and New Zealand into the North American, Asia/China and Europe/UK markets.
Sportspeople’s Managing Director, Robert McMurtrie believes the partnership will be a valuable tool for the reach of Sportspeople’s recruitment and executive search activities.
"We recognise we live and work in a highly connected world with the ability to alert Job Seekers 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, 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," he said.
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.

NEW Service: Sportspeople Interim CEO Bank
If you're an employer in need of a short term, caretaker CEO, Sportspeople has a highly qualified, experienced and job ready group of interim CEOs available. An Interim CEO is often a good choice where the present CEO has departed quickly or in circumstances where an employer wants to maintain "business as usual" throughout the recruitment process for the permanent solution. For a flat fee, payable only upon an appointment, provides the employer with a small candidate group from which you can select your Interim CEO. Candidates are available for an immediate start. Call us if you require an overview of how this works.
If you are an experienced CEO who is available for immediate, short term assignments you can read more here about how to be considered for the Sportspeople Interim CEO Bank.
