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.

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