🎉 Wrapping Up 2024: Another Year in the Game! 🏆
As we sprint toward the finish line of 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the wins, near misses, and everything in between. At Sportspeople Recruitment, Australia’s leading sport specialist search agency, we’ve had another stellar year, and it’s all thanks to the incredible organisations, candidates, and industry professionals who trust us to connect talent with opportunity.
This year, we’ve recruited everything from CEOs to grassroots champions – because let’s face it, the world of sport needs great leadership at every level. Whether it’s finding the next CEO, National Coach or assembling the dream team for community sport, we’re proud to play a small but mighty role in shaping the future of the industry.
2024’s MVP Moments:
• 🏅 Helping organisations recruit on merit, not momentum (and occasionally talking people out of the ‘pre-decided hire’ conundrum).
• 🌍 Proving that being globally connected beats having global offices – every single time.
• 🧩 Expanding our suite of services to include even more tailored offerings, from leadership assessments to organisational reviews.
• 💡 Sharing insights on gender equity in leadership and why we need to stop treating female appointments as novelties.
• 🎯 Growing stronger as the trusted, 100% Australian-owned search agency in the sport sector.
What We’ve Learned This Year:
1. The recruitment game is as competitive as the sports we love – but the right strategy always wins.
2. Talent doesn’t just exist at the top; sometimes, the real MVPs are hidden in plain sight.
3. Being bold, honest, and a little cheeky never goes out of style (even when we ruffle a few feathers along the way). Certainly did that in 2024!
As we look to 2025 and our 29th year, we’re gearing up for even bigger things. With a passion for people and a commitment to excellence, Sportspeople Recruitment is ready to tackle new challenges and continue connecting the best talent with the best opportunities.
Here’s to a fantastic year of teamwork, growth, and (hopefully) more Aussie & Kiwi wins on the world stage!
From our team to yours, have a safe and happy holiday season – and may 2025 bring you every success, on and off the field. 🏉⚽🏀🎾
Might be my last post for 2024… maybe not!
