What specific hiring challenges were STH facing?
STH were looking to make immediate hires for their London and Melbourne offices with more roles to follow. They wanted a partner who could provide a more holistic service to deliver their end-to-end hiring process, and to both support their internal hiring managers and the head of HR, while providing a best-in-class experience for all candidates.
STH highlighted the need to find a diverse range of sports focussed candidates for their active roles, as well as to communicate their employer brand and EVP to both active and passive candidates in the market. STH also wanted Global Sports to reflect its ED&I and inclusivity focus when promoting its employer brand.

The Global Sports Hiring 360° solution provides full-time embedded hiring support to their HR teams in London and Melbourne through two Talent Partners, who seamlessly provided end-to-end hiring management and direct sourcing for all immediate hires. As well as, significantly reducing the amount of operational recruitment activity for Hiring Managers and the HR team, delivering an exceptional candidate experience for all applicants that represent the mission, values and culture of STH, was critical.

Also, we broadened the reach of STH’s employer brand through multiple advertising channels and social media.
