Recruitment

 

While organisations have found it is relatively easy to generate interest in opportunities through advertising, finding candidates with the right experience, attributes, skills and competencies can be more complex.

​

Managing recruitment processes internally can also be time consuming and costly exercises, with the consequences of unsuitable appointments often detrimental to the organisation. Our consultants are experts at utilising a range of innovative strategies aimed at sourcing the right staff for the lowest investment. 

​

Bespoke options are available for those organisations who wish to tailor the recruitment process to meet their specific requirements and/or budgets.

​

​​Board Appointments

 

Our governance offering is dedicated to supporting Boards in the appointment of single or multiple non-executive directors/board members.

 

Since our inception, we have developed a network of leaders. Supported by a team of researchers, we provide a service that leverages our diverse networks to identify talent. We work closely with existing Chairs and Board members, agreeing the nuances, experience and skillset needed to compliment or add to the experience of existing Board members. ​​​​In partnership with our clients, we facilitate due diligence before any appointment is concluded.

​​​​​

Sponsorship and Funding

 

Many sporting organisations operate with limited finances and need to raise additional funds through sponsorship or grants. There is often money available through local businesses, charities, sport and recreation governing bodies and government agencies. 

​

We work with organisations in identifying marketing and corporate sponsorship opportunities and funding avenues and assist with compiling well-presented and concise proposals. â€‹Depending on the size and location of the organisation, we will also approach local, regional and national businesses and suppliers on your behalf around potential business relationships.​

​

Business Administration 

 

We offer a range of services on an ad-hoc contracting basis which are designed to help sporting organisations operate efficiently and effectively.

 

These services may include administrative, human resources, financial and marketing support which  are essential for the smooth running of a business.​

​

Scholarship Programme  

 

The Atticus Scholarship Programme supports students with the potential to succeed both academically and in their chosen sport.

​

We acknowledge that some talented students who are pursuing both academia and sport may face significant barriers to tertiary education, and there are several factors which can impact on an individual's ability to participate in tertiary studies and their chosen sport simultaneously.

​

Each year, Atticus offers scholarships to worthy students. Nominated by their school or sporting organisation, those considered for scholarship are typically at national standard in their chosen sport and maintain a high standard of grades in Year 13.

​

This offering is available to all client organisations.

​​​​​​

Career Development

 

Our Rising Stars and Shooting Stars career development programme is available to all sporting organisations.

​

We work with young athletes (Rising Stars) and those at the end of their career (Shooting Stars) to develop the skills and knowledge that will assist athletes in planning and making informed choices around career opportunities, education and training pathways. ​

​

Sessions with athletes can either be on a one-to-one or small group basis.

​

Fair Play Programme 

 

As parents, turning up on wet and windy Saturday mornings, we understand the commitment community sports organisations and volunteers make to our local communities. We also appreciate that most of these organisations are run on the "smell of an oily rag".​​

​​

To this end, we are committed to returning money to the community and into grassroots sports through our Fair Play Programme.

 

Our commitment is simple, we guarantee a donation, based on an organisation's annual spend, to a community sport of their choice.

​​​

* Sponsorship and Funding Support, Business Administration Support, our Career Development Programme, and access to Volunteers are only available to            organisations who sign up to one of our Medal Partnership offerings.
