What Sportsjob - Recrutamento Em Esportes does

SportsJob (legal name: SportsJob), headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, is a vertically specialized online recruitment marketplace serving the Brazilian sports and health employment sector. The company operates a self-serve web platform, built on a WordPress CMS, that connects sports and health professionals — including physical education teachers, fitness instructors, sports coaches, athletic trainers, and sports journalists — with employers such as gyms, sports clubs, academies, sports schools, event companies, sports media organizations, and sports retailers. The platform lists 100+ sport-specific specializations (administration, coaching, journalism, fitness instruction, aquatic sports, eSports, and others) and serves major Brazilian metros including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, and Curitiba.

The product surface consists of a unified web platform with two primary user surfaces: a candidate portal (registration, resume management, profile search) and a recruiter/employer portal (free job posting, candidate database search, direct scheduling). Distribution is augmented through a partnership with Jooble for job-aggregator reach and an educational alliance with Trevisan (Sports Management MBA) for top-of-funnel candidate engagement. The firm markets via its blog, email vacancy alerts, and social media (Facebook, Instagram).

The business model is asymmetric monetization: employers and recruiters post jobs for free, while candidates pay recurring subscription fees to access full job details, receive email vacancy alerts, manage resumes, and contact recruiters directly. Subscription tiers are priced at R$21.60/month, R$48.50/quarter, and R$71.00/semi-annual, with a 3-day free trial. The firm is privately held, founder-led (no management team or investors disclosed), operates with 1–10 employees, and has disclosed no funding rounds, revenue, or financials.

Others

• Hired: Online recruitment marketplace primarily serving technology professionals. Comparable as a vertical recruitment platform business model, though targeting the tech vertical rather than sports.

Regional players

• Vagas.com: Major Brazilian online job board serving generalist employment across industries. Competes in the same Brazilian recruitment market with broader scope than SportsJob.
• Catho: One of Brazil's largest online job boards and recruitment platforms serving generalist employment. Directly competes in the Brazilian market but lacks sports vertical specialization.
• InfoJobs: Brazilian and Portuguese online job board covering multiple industries. Comparable as a regional competitor in the Brazilian recruitment market, though without SportsJob's sports-specific focus.

Direct peers

• JobsInSports: Online job board focused on sports industry employment opportunities including coaching, athletic administration, and sports business roles. Directly comparable niche positioning to SportsJob.
• WorkInSports: US-based online job board dedicated exclusively to sports industry employment, connecting candidates with employers in leagues, teams, agencies, and sports organizations. Directly comparable as a sports-niche vertical recruitment platform.
• SportsRecruits: Online platform connecting high school and college athletes with college recruiting and sports scholarship opportunities. Comparable as a sports-vertical recruitment platform, though skewed toward athlete placement rather than employment.
• TeamWork Online: US-focused job board for sports, entertainment, and hospitality careers, connecting candidates with teams, venues, and sports employers. Closely mirrors SportsJob's vertical specialization and employer-candidate marketplace model.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Global professional network with job search functionality operating in Brazil. Competes with SportsJob in the broader recruitment space with massive candidate supply but lacks SportsJob's sports-only vertical specialization.
• Indeed Brasil: Leading global job search engine with strong Brazil presence. Represents the primary generalist competitive threat to SportsJob in the Brazilian recruitment market.
