JOIN US IN SAVANNAH FOR THE
18th Annual Conference
Testimonials from our Job Recruiters
The Sport Management Conference hosted by the Department of Hospitality,
Tourism, and Family & Consumer Sciences at Georgia Southern is a must-attend
recruiting event for our agency every year. The students that attend the
conference are both focused and enthusiastic when it comes to learning about
the sports industry and potential career opportunities. Why do we attend?
The conference provides us with the chance to become acquainted with the
brightest rising stars that want to work hard and prove themselves in our
industry. We’ve experienced success each and every year as we’ve
recruited both interns and entry-level employees that have gone on to become
valuable members of our agency. It’s important to note that the students
we have recruited hailed from a variety of states, not just Georgia or the
Southeast. The conference attracts the best students from throughout the
country that are dedicated to finding challenging sport-related careers.
We consider ourselves fortunate to be part of such a highly regarded event!

Results speak for themselves. I was able to invite more than 15 students
to the NBA/WNBA/D-League Teams Job Fair in Los Angeles, CA. These students
would all be great candidates for our teams. I was impressed with the level
of candidates I interviewed. Students were engaging, professional and prepared.
While the presentations were to be a learning experience for students, I
frequently found myself taking notes. All in all a success. I was able to
interview some great candidates, connect with professors and even manage
to learn something along the way!

It is always a challenge to find determined, professional, entry level sales
people that want to work on the business side of our industry. The Georgia
Southern Sport Management Conference provides just that; talented, motivated,
and energetic individuals who are willing to work hard to find success. In
fact, the person I hired from last year’s conference went on to be
my top sales person in only 3 months!

This event continues to bring some of the most talented and well prepared
students from all over the country who are serious about their education
and future profession. As a recruiter, it is an excellent way to meet students
face to face and also educate them about your organization. I highly recommend
you attend !
