Golf Recruitment Central Expands Reach with Global Talent Solutions Strategic Partnership
Golf Recruitment Central (GRC), the leading golf industry job board and recruitment services for Australia/New Zealand, and Global Talent Solutions (GTS), a premier international executive search firm based in Hong Kong, are proud to announce a new strategic partnership.
Bridging the Gap: Local Expertise, Global Reach
As the golf industry continues to experience rapid global growth and professionalisation, the demand for high-calibre leadership has never been greater.
This partnership leverages the unique strengths of both organisations to ensure the right leaders are placed in the right roles, regardless of geography:
- Golf Recruitment Central: For Localised Solutions – specialising in the marketing of roles and shortlisting solutions within Australia and New Zealand.
- Global Talent Solutions: For organisations needing to search globally or take a proactive, targeted approach to fill high-level executive roles, GTS provides the international infrastructure and reach.
Further strengthening this alliance is the shared partnership of Mike Orloff and Sean Plunkett as Co-founders of Golf Industry Asia. This connection provides clients with exclusive access to one of the largest professional networks in the golf/club industry, from Asia down to Australia/New Zealand.
Executive Commentary
Mike Orloff, Managing Director of Golf Recruitment Central, commented:
“As the golf industry professionalises at a rapid pace, the talent search must go beyond borders. This partnership allows Golf Recruitment Central to offer a truly ‘full-suite’ service, combining our deep local knowledge with Sean’s international executive reach.”
Sean Plunkett, Global Director of Global Talent Solutions, added:
“In recent years, the Australian and New Zealand golf market has experienced a somewhat predictable rotation of local senior leaders across senior placements, due to a limited international reach of local agencies. Our partnership with Mike and Golf Recruitment Central (GRC) changes that.”
Through this collaboration, Global Talent Solutions will deliver expanded global talent networks, seamless executive search recruitment services, and innovative seasonal hiring initiatives and programs to local clubs and brands across Australia and New Zealand.
At the same time, this partnership will open broader global employment opportunities for industry professionals within the Golf Industry Central and Golf Recruitment Central networks via Global Talent Solutions’ global clients.
This strategic alliance formalises our combined networks, ensuring the world’s leading sporting organisations are perfectly matched with the world’s best talent.”
