Global Sports Hiring™ / Embedded Hiring
What is Global Sports Hiring™?
Global Sports Hiring™ brings together our other talent solutions and unique industry expertise to deliver an end-to-end embedded hiring solution that has delivered for leading sporting organisations globally, helping them achieve their business, HR and workforce objectives.
Why choose one of our Embedded Hiring solutions?
We provide you with all the benefits of a dedicated in-house hiring team or agency model solution, whilst delivering a host of additional benefits and reducing your overall recruitment cost and resource. If you’re looking for a flexible, and more simplified hiring process that delivers lasting hires, our embedded hiring solutions can solve your current talent challenges.
What are the Embedded Hiring solutions you offer?
Embedded Hiring On Demand
‘On Demand’ is perfect for clients with a small number of hires each year. But who still want immediate end-to-end hiring support, without a big agency fee. You’ll have instant access to a specialist Talent Partner and promotion across our world-class network.
Embedded Hiring Plus+
Hiring Plus+ is designed to be scalable in nature and support your peaks in recruitment. Often used for key projects or events, we provide a tactical solution, delivering quick and lasting hires to meet your specific workforce plans.

*All options have unique access to dedicated talent partners, account managers & reporting, Executive search, leading ATS technology and Global Sports Jobs platforms & database.
What type of hires can you help with?
We can manage all levels of recruitment for your business, from work experience or graduates, through to Executives and Board appointments. We have a truly global reach for candidates and well-established international networks so we can help wherever a hire may be needed geographically. As Sports specialists, we are very used to hiring all head office roles as well as more niche positions in elite sports or sport business, and we’re proud of the broad diversity of the candidates we help to hire.
How much does Global Sports Hiring cost?
Every client’s situation is totally unique - from your timeframes to your types of hires, to the level of involvement you’d like our embedded hiring team to have along the recruitment process. We customise every solution to your specific situation so pricing can vary. Unlike traditional recruitment agencies where you pay a large fee based on a successful hire, or a retained fee for executive search, we work out a flexible monthly subscription price based on the time required to fill your vacancies. Which means it’s more affordable and you get exactly what you pay for.
How many hires can you manage?
Most of our clients are looking to fill 25-50 hires a year, however, some recruit well over 100 positions. We also help with high-volume urgent hiring for major events, so we are used to building solutions that can support with hundreds of hires if needed, as well as those tricky few roles that sometimes need some expert support.
How long does it take to get started?
A typical solution design and set-up phase takes around 4 weeks. Again, this depends on how much integration we have with systems and processes to adapt to your preferred ways of working. In some instances, we have started within a week of discussing the hiring challenges with a client!
