Today, with the Top 10 Sports Tech Companies, marks the final Top 10 category announcement of the iWorkinSport Most Attractive Employers in Sport 2024 survey results.
Sports Tech companies make for extremely attractive employers as they are driving significant innovative change across the sports landscape. Data-focussed players Genius Sports, Sportradar and Stats Perform all the made the Top 10. Sports content distributors DAZN and One Football also appear on the Top 10 alongside exercise and fitness tracking companies Peloton, Fitbit and Strava. Rounding out the Top 10 is sportswear retailer Fanatics and video technology company Hawk-Eye Innovations. Check out the full Top 10 list below.
The list is the result of a study conducted by iWorkinSport, which surveyed more than 1,600 people from 83 countries representing all continents, with the majority already working in sport, and asked them a simple question: “If you could choose to work anywhere in sport, where would that be?”
At first, the respondents chose organisations divided into ten categories and, at the end, they indicated one single preferred choice, overall – the “Employer of their Dreams”.
The final rankings of the iWorkinSport Most Attractive Employers 2024 will be announced at an Awards ceremony at the Olympic Museum, in Lausanne, on June 4th, at a VIP dinner offered to recruiters and academic partners of the iWorkinSport Job Fair, which will take place the following day in Lausanne.
