NAIA.ticker has launched CollegeSports.jobs, a full-scale jobs board to complement its industry-leading position of distributing job opportunities directly to the inboxes of potential candidates via its family of widely-read industry media publications and platforms (D1.ticker, D2.ticker, D3.ticker, NAIA.ticker, Coaches.wire and Collegiate Sports Connect). NAIA.ticker Founder Matt Roberts: “The best part for athletic departments and sports organizations is there’s no added cost for what’s now double the value. For years we’ve said to schools, ‘Why make potential administrative candidates work to find your openings when we already have a distribution vehicle with engaged readership of potential candidates? Put your openings in the same space where potential candidates already spend time every single day. Plus, we can target subscribers by area of expertise, as well.’ That strategy is quite logical and has worked very nicely for hundreds of athletic departments. Then last year we added Coaches.wire, which is read weekly by tens of thousands of college coaches around the industry, and created the same solution for reaching potential coaching candidates. However, we knew the experience for the active job seeker wasn’t as smooth as it should be. CollegeSports.jobs changes that. All jobs - administrative and coaching jobs - posted with CollegeSports.jobs will still be distributed through our family of publications, but will also get greater branding and visibility on the new site, plus will be fully indexed by the major search engines, providing even greater discoverability. This is an obvious step for our portfolio and couldn’t have been executed without the help of our friends at WMT. We’re not done creating even more solutions in the human talent space. Helping athletic departments and sports organizations develop the deepest and most diverse pool of candidates is crucial for success. People win championships. Stay tuned!” (link)
