Global Sports supports TMS Global rapidly hire its transports management team for the FIFA World Cup, Qatar 2022

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup, Qatar 2022, Global Sports worked with TMS Global (Transportation Management Services) to help them hire over 120 transport management professionals over a fast-paced 3-month recruitment drive to support them deliver one of the biggest bus service operations ever seen at an international sporting event.


Who is TMS Global?

Transportation Management Services (TMS Global) is a US company that provides industry-leading transportation and parking solutions with over 27 years’ of experience managing transportation for thousands of events worldwide including the biggest sporting events. 

 

The Opportunity

Mowasalat, Qatar's local transportation company was appointed by the Supreme Committee organising the FIFA World Cup, Qatar 2022, to support in the management of bus services for football's greatest tournament. Mowasalat contracted Transportation Management Services (TMS) to fulfil this requirement, meaning that TMS needed to hire hundreds of transport professionals to build the workforce needed to deliver the project in a short timeframe.

 

What specific hiring challenges were TMS facing before partnering with Global Sports?

TMS was tasked with delivering 'one of the biggest bus operations ever seen in an international sporting event' which would require the best transport minds and experts in the World.

They would need to hire a high volume of transport-focused event professionals in order to be able to succeed in their mission and make sure the event was a success. Being an international company, they needed sports industry and localised expertise, to engage, attract and hire the right candidates, from across the globe as well as specifically in the Middle East. Global Sports was able to provide this solution through our global candidate network and major event expertise and experience.

We have helped position TMS within the global sports industry marketplace, building their employer brand across our network and beyond leveraging our Global Sports platform and associated marketing channels to advertise job opportunities as well as the company and its mission and values. 

"We are hugely appreciative of the support & effort from Global Sports on the recruitment of our Tournament Bus Services transport operations team for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

We are running one of the biggest bus operations ever seen in an international sporting event which requires the best transport minds and experts in the World."
