CIMSPA working in partnership with Leisurejobs.com and Leisure People
Following negotiations, Leisure People and Leisurejobs.com will become the official recruitment partner of the Chartered Institute of the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).
The partnership is part of a contra deal, which aims to:
Enhance the current membership benefits that CIMSPA partners and members can enjoy.
Provide Leisurejobs.com and Leisure People’s associated jobseekers with insight into CIMSPA’s role within the sector.
Assist jobseekers in understanding how their career and employment opportunities can benefit from membership with the sector’s only chartered Institute.
CIMSPA is the professional development body for the UK’s sport and physical activity sector. They provide leadership, support and empowerment for professionals working in sport and physical activity and a single unified voice for the sector.
Leisurejobs.com has over 1 million registered jobseekers and is the UK’s biggest and most used online job board for the leisure industry. Its flagship site, Leisurejobs.com, is also complemented by a further six niche job boards, ensuring the 7 job board network gives the service exceptional reach, attracting high calibre candidates across the entire breadth of the leisure, hospitality and health and fitness industry.
Leisure People is a specialist recruitment business, placing professionals into mid-management to director level roles within organisations across the broad leisure and hospitality industry.
Leisurejobs.com will now be managing the CIMSPA job advertising service and will also power the CIMSPA job search function.
The partnership between the two organisations allows CIMSPA partners to highlight their recruitment vacancies on both the CIMSPA website and Leisurejobs job boards simultaneously.
The Leisure People’s range of career and recruitment services will also be provided at discounted* rates and will be added value to CIMSPA’s partners and membership base.
Commenting on the new agreement Tara Dillon, CEO of CIMSPA said: “CIMSPA is excited to be starting this partnership with Leisurejobs who are well known as market leaders in jobs services. The partnership will both allow our members and site visitors to stay informed on the latest sector employment opportunities and provide our employer partners with access to a fantastic recruitment platform”.
Marc Moreso, CEO of Leisurejobs.com and Leisure People commented: “We are delighted to be teaming up with CIMSPA. They have vast experience across all facets of sport and physical activity and endorse training courses and qualifications which are recognised and requested by operators throughout the industry.
“We believe that the benefits offered through this partnership and our combined marketing reach work together to offer CIMSPA and Leisurejobs unrivalled benefits. We look forward to delivering more features and functionality as the partnership progresses.”
