Supporting the Sport Sector: Our Role in Shaping Talent and Leadership.

I was recently asked to recall any memorable appointments made over my time with Sportspeople Recruitment. The short answer was “𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵?”

Since 1996, we’ve had the privilege of placing incredible talent across the Australian and New Zealand sport sector, from executives and high-performance specialists to essential support staff. Each placement has contributed to shaping the future of sport in our region and left a lasting impression.

What stands out is the variety of roles we’ve filled and the unique impact every appointment has had on organisations and individuals. If you can think of a role in this sector, we’ve likely filled it. If you can think of an employer in this sector, we’ve likely worked with them. But, it’s always been about more than just finding the right person; it’s about supporting the sport sector’s growth.

While the Sportspeople Recruitment Alumni includes the Who’s Who of Sport, we’re also proud to have been the catalyst for many of these leaders taking their early steps into the sector. We have always believed it’s easier to recognise someone excelling in their role, but the real challenge is identifying the potential of those who will excel tomorrow.

Our reputation for providing the widest choice of talent with a ‘stay-rate’ 80% higher than our competitors, and attracting fresh talent 40% higher, is unparalleled.

Despite growing global interest in our market, we have stayed 100% locally owned. In an industry where many companies are gobbled up by foreign ownership, Sportspeople Recruitment remains independent. This allows us to keep our deep local roots and understanding of the Australian and New Zealand sport landscapes, while delivering world-class solutions without profits being sent offshore.

If your organisation is looking to strengthen its leadership, high-performance teams, or support staff, we are ready to assist. Additionally, we offer HR services such as employment assessments, performance appraisals, remuneration benchmarking, organisational reviews, reference checks, and police checks. We customise our services to fit your needs and budget, identifying talent others often overlook.

I’m proud of what we’ve achieved at Sportspeople Recruitment, and I look forward to continuing to partner with our clients to build stronger teams and a stronger future for sport. If you are a candidate, you may well be the leader we’re looking for, so stay in touch.

Globally Connected – Locally Owned – Since 1996.
