Pro Sports Recruitment, a national sport specialist recruitment company, has been launched by Hull FC owner Adam Pearson and business partner Tony Doherty, providing a focused and tailor-made search facility for sports professionals and organisations within the UK’s £27billion recruitment market.
Adam Pearson is the current owner of Hull FC Rugby League Club, having previously owned and chaired Hull City and Derby County, as well as being a former director of Leeds United. Tony Doherty, owner of Tigercom, has grown his recruitment consultancy into one of the biggest pan-European executive search firms, looking after global clients such as Samsung, HP and Dell.
Mr Pearson, managing partner at PSR and owner of Hull FC RLFC, said: ‘We all know it takes more than the players on the pitch to create a successful football, rugby or cricket team. The results lie in the off-field recruitment just as much as the professional sports men and women you have playing for your club or country. Having worked in the sports industry for over a decade, I know it can be hard and time consuming to search for the right candidate.’
Pearson added: ‘By launching PSR, myself and Tony will provide professionals and organisations alike with a cost effective service to help support search, selection and placement with your sporting goals at the heart of our team’s aim.’
