European online board-sport careers portal
First ever European online board-sport careers portal launches…
Another innovative 100% online recruitment solution from graylink looks set to boost the prospects of the European board-sport industry. Launched today, BoardSportCareers.com is a ground-breaking online tool designed to help board-sport industry employers connect with quality talent directly, quickly and more cost effectively, in one place.
Rapidly deployable, BoardSportCareers can provide clients with an own-branded (white-label) careers website and the same powerful technology and talent management tools leveraged by many large organizations, with minimal risk and at a fraction of the cost.
Unlimited job posting, activity-based workflow and access to a populated talent database are some of the key benefits which BoardSportCareers provides.
As a company, graylink is uniquely placed to cater to the needs of the board-sport industry. Almost every member of the team rides a board of some form, be it a surfboard, a snowboard, a sailboard, a kite-board, a wakeboard or a skateboard. In fact, our shared passion for board riding is one of the fundamentals that bind our exceptional team together.
Launching BoardSportCareers in the Basque country of South West France, capital of the European board-sport industry, Peter Schmitt, head of graylink Europe says: “We’ve recently been made aware of some serious challenges faced by the industry; chiefly, that organisations often lack the ability to attract fresh new talent. Traditionally, many employees have simply rotated from one organisation to the next, and very few talented people outside the industry are aware of what great opportunities exist. Until now, there has been no single resource where information is available on how to engage with industry players. Our vision for BoardSportCareers is to provide a simple yet powerful solution to these challenges and open up a new way forward for the industry.”
Christophe Seiller, head of SPL Glisse, board-europe.com and the new industry environmental label, ECORIDE agrees: “The time has come for the industry to get more competitive in its approach to attracting & retaining great people. The timing of this initiative could not be more appropriate as attracting fresh talent, both young graduates and experienced is increasingly becoming a top item on the agenda for executives in the industry. It is great to see the introduction of a dedicated resource on the web in support of this in our European Board-Sports industry.”
graylink believes that introducing BoardSportCareers will make a difference to the brands and organisations that make board-sport possible, strengthening the industry as a whole and making it possible for future generations to have the chance to share our passion for board-riding in years to come.
As the industry’s longevity is entirely dependent on a responsible attitude to the environment, BoardSportCareers commits to donating 5% of its revenues to the EuroSIMA Environmental fund, incorporating Surfers against Sewage, Surfrider Foundation Europe, Summit Foundation and Mountain Riders.
