Manchester City sign three-year recruitment partnership

Manchester City Football Club has announced a new three-year partnership with recruitment giant, Hays. The FTSE 250 company will become the Club’s official recruitment partner, with over 50 years experience in the sector.

The contract will see HAYS use the MCFC crest in a global marketing campaign, along with player imagery and brand messaging over social media.

HAYS said they will also ensure they implement extensive engagement and incentive programmes with their 8,000 employees, so they can experience the city partnership.

Tom Glick, chief commercial and operating officer for Manchester City Football Club, commented: “It’s a privilege to welcome HAYS on board as a valued member of our stable of global partners.

“HAYS has established themselves as a truly international brand, with a wealth of experience attracting the best talent and expertise in the workplace.

“Manchester City has always been a Club built on people. We pride ourselves on continually developing the very best team of professionals across our organisation.

“Whether it’s international and home-grown talent on the pitch, or our friendly and professional match-day stewards off it, we strive to ensure we have the right people to drive the Club forward.”

Sholto Douglas-Home, HAYS group marketing director, added:“Manchester City is the ideal partner for HAYS.

“They are a brand that is passionate about getting the right professionals to build winning teams both on and off the pitch.

“Like HAYS, they have a strong appreciation of the critical importance of finding and nurturing talent for success and they pride themselves on identifying and attracting those highly skilled individuals from the global talent pool.

“The English Premier League is by far the most popular league in the world and we see this partnership as an exciting platform to help us take our brand and our message to a broader global audience.”
