View our testimonials - what our recruitment clients say...

In terms of our services our record speaks for itself. Sportspeople was the first recruitment agency in Australia to specialise in sport (launching in 1996), and we remain the undisputed leader in terms of number, scope, reach and placement of jobs both here in Australia and New Zealand. 
 
In comparison * with any other agency operating in Australia in this sector, Sportspeople Recruitment:
  • fills over 3 times more roles
  • fills nearly 3 times more Executive roles (CEO/GM/EO)
  • recruits across a broader client base (nearly twice as many sports)
  • recruits over 3 times more middle and lower entry jobs

There are four Sportspeople Recruitment options:

Our reputation has been built on a number of very simple business principles.
  • Results - Sportspeople has access to the very best candidates and consistently achieves the best outcome for employers looking for new staff.

  • Ease - Sportspeople makes the recruitment process easy for employers. You tell us what you want, when you want it and well look after all the arrangements with the minimum of fuss.

  • Trust - Unlike other recruitment agencies Sportspeople places an emphasis on finding the right candidate for the job, rather than simply filling the job.  In fact in those rare circumstances where we can't immediately find the right candidate, we prefer to extend the search until we get the right result for the employer. 

  • Referrals - Since 1996 Sportspeople has worked with hundreds of employers across the sport, fitness, aquatic, coaching, venues, events, leisure and lifestyle sector. We don't expect our clients to enter into ongoing exclusive recruitment contracts, as we are confident we can provide assistance whenever our expertise is needed.  Over 95% of our recruitment work is referred business.

  • Network - As the leader in the sport, fitness, aquatic, coaching, venues, events, leisure and lifestyle sector since 1996, no other recruitment agency comes close to having the reach of the Sportspeople network. Our database of work-ready, qualified and screened candidates has been growing since 1996 while the Sportspeople Jobs Market presently provides us with access to over 5,000 visitors a day.

  • Costs - Sportspeople's recruitment fees are structured to fit our industry and are highly competitive when compared to traditional, mainstream recruitment agencies. Unlike other recruitment agencies we don't have any complex sponsorship deals or rebates as wed rather give our clients the absolute best price up front.

  • Specialised - While Sportspeople started out with a sport recruitment focus in 1996, we branched out in 2002 to include leisure, fitness, coaching, aquatic, lifestyle, venues and events jobs. Sportspeople isn't a generalist recruitment agency with a passing interest in the sport, fitness, aquatic, coaching, venues, events, leisure and lifestyle sector. Rather, Sportspeople is a highly specialised recruitment agency specialising only in the sport, fitness, aquatic, coaching, venues, events, leisure and lifestyle sector.

  • National and International Assignments - Sportspeople has been recruiting throughout Australia since 1996 and New Zealand since 2004. Most of our assignments are managed initially through our International Recruitment Centre in Balmain, with local interviews held using our extensive office network in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington.

  • All Jobs - Every employee contributes to the strength of an organisation. Sportspeople can assist employers looking for a Chief Executive right through to entry-level roles and everything in between. To get a feel for the scope of our expertise, take a look at our Past Clients page (see sub-menu of Services menu bar above). 

  • Candidates - Sportspeople values the emotional investment of each candidate as he or she applies for a position, therefore we strive to treat each candidate with care and respect. Regardless of the outcome of his or her application, Sportspeople ensures each candidate can take away a positive image of both the employer and the recruitment process.

Sportspeople has access to the very best candidates and consistently achieves the best outcome for employers looking for new staff.
