Sports Career
Once upon a time, the only way to pursue a career in sport was if you could run
like Cathy Freeman, shoot like Lauren Jackson or swim like Gianne Rooney.
Fortunately for us mere mortals times have changed and there are many avenues to
turn your passion for sport into a career.
Sportspeople is a highly specialised recruitment agency that places hundreds of
staff in sport, leisure, fitness and aquatic organisations. Regardless of your
position title -- be it trainee or Chief Executive -- Sportspeople caters to
every level within the industry.
The company was established in 1996 by Robert McMurtrie,
whose resume boasts an impressive list of titles including Chief Executive
Officer for Netball Australia and the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. In 1988,
McMurtrie received the Confederation of Australian Sport Sport Administrator of
the Year award and has continued to play an active role in the sports management
profession.
The job market page on the Sportspeople website contains
hundreds of jobs advertised through the agency by top companies. It provides
details of the location, an extensive job description and salary information.
A company can choose to benefit from Sportspeople's notoriety and
advertise their position on the website, in which case you will be instructed to
apply directly to this company.
Or a company will hire through Sportspeople Recruitment, and
the Sportspeople team will handle advertising the position, screening and
interviewing the applicants plus package negotiation on behalf of the employer.
Their national recruitment centre based in Sydney, as well as
offices in Melbourne and many successful assignments in Brisbane, Perth,
Adelaide and Canberra has benefited employers in receiving both local and
interstate candidates for positions.
For highly-specialised or executive level positions, in which
their may not be many local applicants, Sportspeople will recruit
internationally and their panel of migration agents will provide assistance with
sponsorship and immigration administration.
Previous positions filled through Sportspeople include Event
Manager for Cricket NSW, Communications Manager for Surf Lifesaving Australia,
Chief Executive Officer for Rowing Australia and National Technical Director for
the Australian Paralympic Committee.
Sportspeople is one of the leading sports recruitment
agencies in Australia, and if you're serious about a career in sport then head
straight for www.sportspeople.com.au.
