Frequently Asked Questions

We are an international fitness recruitment agency, working with fitness companies of all sizes across the world. We help to find extraordinary talent across the whole spectrum of the fitness industry (from personal trainer right up to executive).

We have decades of experience as both suppliers and operators at all levels and across all continents. Our team have held positions up to and including CEO of international fitness chains. Our industry experience is unrivalled. 

Our sister company www.executivesinfitness.com works on a retained basis / assignment-only for CEO search.

Our mission is to connect fitness professionals with purpose-driven organisations through transparency and integrity.

Our credo is:

(1) We work with partners who care for their teammates.

(2) We work with candidates who we would employ ourselves.

(3) We communicate with transparency and integrity.

Employers instruct us to source talent for their business. We find, verify and shortlist candidates before submitting to our partners for interview. We continue this candidate relationship until the candidate starts employment with you.

This would depend on the partnership, however in most cases, our partner will pay an introduction fee once the candidate has started employment (and nothing before). Please speak with your account manager for further details.

There are no additional fees to gofitjobs. Depending on your location and that of the candidate, you may have to pay visa and relocation costs.

If within a pre-agreed window, we provide a pro-rata rebate system and/or a candidate of comparable experience at no extra cost. (Note that this scenario is extremely rare due to the in-depth recruitment process that we follow.)

For an additional fee, we can provide in-country visa services for your successful candidates. Please speak with your account manager for further details.

In today's fiercely competitive employment market, we recommend that all communication is within a 48-hour window as this ensures candidates are kept fully up-to-speed and engaged with your brand. gofitjobs will respond to your queries within 6 office hours.

On average, we submit our first shortlist to you within the first 2-3 weeks (depending on the complexity of the assignment, sometimes this can be much sooner).

We recruit for all roles that one may find in a fitness company (including support offices roles). We also recruit for sport-related vacancies (such as coaches).

We are partnered with some of the largest fitness franchises in the world. For more details, please speak with your account manager or directly with your Franchisor and request the vendor list or PSL.

On rare occasions, we may work as a third party or contractor on specific recruitment assignments. Please speak with us to check if this is an option we can consider.

After we verify your certifications, career history and suitability for the role, we will represent you with integrity and transparency. We will never send your profile to an employer without discussing with you first. 

Never.

We partner with many large and small fitness companies across the globe. We do not partner with companies who are unable to provide to us clear and obvious evidence of employee care.

This would depend on several factors including the visa process (if applicable), your proposed start-date and your own notice period. Our operations team will remain in regular contact with you until you join.

Unfortunately, we do not accept speculative applications.

We are an impartial agency and therefore do not recommend specific courses to take. By checking our current listings, you may get an idea as to what roles are in demand.

All communication with gofitjobs is 100% confidential. No information will be shared unless you give your permission to do so.
