Considering the amazing opportunity on offer to join one of the world’s most prestigious sporting organisations managing their iconic headquarters, we knew there would be no shortage of applicants for this position. The initial challenge for this recruitment campaign was being able to efficiently and effectively assess every single applicant against the role requirements in order to affectively ‘narrow down’ the candidate pool.

Although appropriate prior experience in people and office management was a key component of the role, it was also vital that the ideal candidate management had a hardworking, self-motivated and proactive
attitude, with a flexible and collaborative working approach; as well as the strong interpersonal skills required to interact well with people at all levels.

Following preliminary executive searches and headhunting activities, We conducted initial screening interviews with over 70 applicants! Of these, we carried out our extensive shortlisting process to provide 3 candidates who were absolutely perfect for the role. All 3 candidates were interviewed, with 2 going onto further interview stages, resulting in a final offer and acceptance of the role.
