Client Focus Areas - Recruitment & Staffing

Overview

Identifying and deciding what career is right for you post sports is only half the game plan.
(and this is where most outplacement and career transition firms stop providing benefits for you). While it is important to figure out where and what you want to do post sports, and is equally important to get you on the starting roster of a new company team. You want to get back in the game as soon as possible.

Sports Professionals helps you “get hired”, and take this next step with confidence and skill.
Our staffing specialists have a network of small, medium, and large firms who have a track record of hiring and training former athletes. Our network also includes hard to find entrepreneurial businesses who represent the majority of growth in today’s marketplace.

Our database of companies will give you instant access to a broad scope of industries including: Education, Manufacturing, Media, Technology, Construction, Hotel/Restaurant Management, Non-Profit, Finance, Consulting, Healthcare, Research Centers, Insurance, Banking, Recreation, Real Estate, and the Sports Industry.

Our experience shows that over 60% of the athletes we work with, choose to find a career within the sports industry when they hang up the cleats. Did you know that the U.S. has over 2000 sports manufacturers who are producing sports products and information for athletes, coaches, trainers, the media, and general public? There are over 1300 apparel and footwear manufacturers alone, nearly 130 of them employ over 500 fulltime associates, and have annual revenues of 100 million dollars or more (ie. Reebok, Nike, Addidas, Fila, Sports Authority, Mizuno, FootLocker, UnderArmor,
