The I Job Fitness platform was recently launched, with the aim of creating a community of professionals in search of work inspired by LinkedIn and to facilitate the processes of selection of personnel by sports facilities.

Looking for a job is not an easy task. But neither is it for a company to find the right candidate. Under this premise was I Job Fitness born, a new proposal for a digital employment platform that seeks to simplify the processes of recruitment and selection of personnel.

The project has been created by the manager of the Altafit Tres Cantos gym, Álex Ruiz, and the general director of the media agency OTS Media International, Joaquín Urquijo.

In three months of activity, the platform already brings together the work profiles of 250 fitness professionals, most of whom are monitors of directed activities. However, the vocation of I Job Fitness is to become the main intermediary between professionals and companies in the fitness sector. As well as generate synergies with other organisms. In fact, the company is in talks to conclude an agreement with the Spanish Fitness Federation to link I Job Fitness to Esreps, the Spanish Register of Professionals of the Year, which has a base of 13,000 registered professionals. "With this agreement we want to become employment agents of Esreps," says the businessman, who posits that this collaboration could close soon.

The portal works like most employment platforms, with a section for the publication of job offers, and another for the records of both candidates and companies. Álex Ruiz, co-founder of the company, remarks that "all the offers published on the site pass a filter, not accepting those that violate the rights of workers or that meet working conditions below an acceptable level."

The platform also allows companies to register to access registered candidates without having to publish an offer and contact them privately, in a format inspired by the LinkedIn social network, according to Ruiz.

HR ASSISTANCE

Another service that I Job Fitness offers is advice and assistance in human resources. According to the co-promoter of the platform, "although there are human resources departments in the main chains of sports centers, there are many facilities that can not devote time and resources to this task. I Job Fitness offers to carry out this management of human resources in those companies that request it ".

MEDIA MANAGEMENT

In addition to the digital employment platform, I Job Fitness also offers a media management service, led by OTS Media International founder, Joaquín Urquijo. "We will focus on the dissemination of content and communications nationally and internationally," says Alex Ruiz, who notes that "the goal is not to supply the marketing departments." In this sense, Urquijo has a "great knowledge" of the Latin American market that the company believes "can be of great help for those chains in the process of international expansion."

SIMPLIFY EMPLOYMENT

I Job Fitness is open to "all types of qualified professionals within the field of fitness and all types of sports facilities", understanding that it is a service "necessary for all types of companies and people". Álex Ruiz believes that the task of employing workers "is complicated by the large number of CVs that you can get to receive and the few filters that exist."

In fact, there are some companies like Beone / Serviocio or VivaGym that have promoted their own initiatives to attract talent.

With I Job Fitness, its promoters hope to "simplify the process" and "connect the defendant profiles with the right job".
