Recruitment company Colt Mackenzie McNair is aiming to attract experienced travel industry professionals – to the global golf industry.
The UK-based company, which operates throughout Europe, Middle East and the Africa and the Asia Pacific region, has launched a new recruitment web portal CMM Select.
According to co-founder Richard Wood although golf has grown significantly over the last 20 years it has taken an unprofessional approach to recruitment.
“In the good times, golf has got away with it – but with the global economic downturn, golf businesses are now realising the importance of well trained, professional staff,” said Wood.
“That’s why for certain positions including sales and marketing we believe golf businesses should look to recruit from outside the industry, bringing in fresh ideas and people, with travel professionals particularly well-suited to switching industries.”
