About Us

Launched in 2000, Scottsdale, Arizona-based WorkInSports.com quickly established itself as the #1 job board and employment resource in the sports industry. Led by co-founders John Mellor and Jason Backs, Work In Sports made a name for itself in 2001 by partnering with Sports Illustrated to provide exclusive sports employment/career content for their official website, SI.com.

Since 2000, WorkInSports.com has assisted almost 500,000 job seekers with their job search. In addition, we have worked with and posted jobs for over 4,000 different employers in the sports industry.

Site traffic has also increased substantially as Compete.com stats show that WorkInSports.com enjoys more site visitors than any other subscription-based sports industry job board.

In 2004, Work In Sports partnered with Turnkey Sports & Entertainment and Sageview Consulting to create TeamBuilder Alliance, the total solution for all sports related human resource issues.

Work In Sports, as part of TeamBuilder Alliance, was retained by Major League Baseball to staff the entire front office of the Washington Nationals Baseball Team after they were relocated from Montreal. Work In Sports reviewed 10,000 resumes and conducted over 200 interviews to complete the project within the two month timeline.

As Work In Sports continues to expand its services and network, it will always remain true to its goal of providing job seekers access to the best collection of jobs and internships in the sports industry and employers the ability to use the most effective hiring solution available.
