Sporting Jobs strengthens the team with 2x new senior appointments.

We are pleased to welcome Max McClure and Alex Woodward to the team, as we expand our recruitment capability and our offering to both candidates and clients in the sporting sector with two new hires to the team. The appointments come at a moment of strong momentum for Sporting Jobs, as we continue to grow both internationally and within various verticals of sport too.

Meet the New Starters

  • Max McClure joins Sporting Jobs with 9+ years detailed recruitment experience and a passion for various sports. Having played Football to a high level, Max has a unique understanding of the sports industry, along with a background in executive search that will be of huge benefit to our clients.

  • Alex Woodward also comes in as a Senior Consultant at Sporting Jobs and has a thorough background in sales, with the last 3+ years in an established recruitment business where he had developed and built a desk from the ground up. Alex’s background includes 20+ years playing experience in Rugby at a high level and he too has a huge passion and love for various sports which we always feel is vital within our group.

Comment from Harry Lynch, Recruitment Director

“Having had another successful start to the financial year, we engaged a recruitment specialist to conduct a comprehensive search of the industry to find candidates who not only brought recruiting expertise, but who also love sport.

Max and Alex stood out in this process, where we received upwards of 300+ applicants to our team. Aside from having executive-level recruitment experience, in a 360-degree capacity, they both match the culture and team fit that we are looking for and have similar aspirations for their careers. I’m also confident that their sporting backgrounds and experiences will add real value to our clients and candidates. From here, I’m excited to reach out to my network to introduce them personally and for our wider audience to see the level that they operate at in the coming months”
