World Rugby Case Study

World Rugby were undergoing a rapid growth phase with multiple job roles to fill. Some of these roles were in particularly niche areas or included maternity cover or high urgency contracts that they were struggling to fill themselves. World Rugby chose to approach MA with help sourcing suitable candidates for these roles because of our extensive talent pool, “Can-Do” attitude and our heavy focus on culture and finding the right fit. Our community network, MA Sports, & Non-Executive Director Rob Kearney helped source suitable candidates for some of the more niche roles.

Some roles we have sourced for World Rugby include:

• Project Manager
• Admin (mostly administrative roles)
• Office Support
• Astro Turf Expert
• High Performance Coordinator
• Programme Manager
