Under the terms of the agreement, GlobalSportsJobs will provide Alisports, owned by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, with a range of digital talent acquisition solutions including the rights to advertise career opportunities across its multi-language platforms.
The partnership will also see GlobalSportsJobs help Alisports develop its international corporate branding with a varied range of content designed at educating and inspiring professionals who are looking further their careers in sport or make a transition into the industry from outside.
Karl Oliver, Executive Chairman of GlobalSportsJobs, said:
“Alisports has recognised that GlobalSportsJobs is the ideal platform to work with in furthering its digital talent acquisition programme. We are very proud to partner with Alisports and look forward to building on our strong relationship with them in what are exciting times for the development of the sports industry in China.”
