Joao Frigerio, iWorkinSport founder and CEO, said: “We are delighted to have Grace Blue as this year’s Recruiters’ Workshop Presenter, even more because it’s going to be lead by someone who know us and the iWorkinSport Job Fair very well. Tim Palmer has attended several editions of the job fair as a recruiter himself with Endeavor and IMG and now that he joined Grace Blue as Managing Partner for Sports, Media & Entertainment we couldn’t think of a better name to help us deliver that important session to all recruiters and HR professionals attending the job fair.”
Tim Palmer, Managing Partner for Sports, Media & Entertainment at Grace Blue Partnership, said: “Grace Blue and I are delighted to be able to partner with João this year. I’ve always been a big supporter of the role the expanding iWorkinSport platform plays within our ever evolving industry. I know from experience how valuable the Recruiter Workshop is for both HR and Recruiting Partners within sports organisations. The topics discussed around market trends, skills sets, hiring processes (amongst many others) and the connections that are made, are hugely beneficial to all. I very much look forward to seeing everyone on 1st June”
