The outdoor industry has recruitment problems

Sean Igoe identified two problems during his time working in specialist businesses: recruiting from outside the existing talent pool within the outdoor industry is extremely difficult but essential for strengthening, growing, and energising businesses. Secondly, individuals seeking employment in this exciting sector lack a clear pathway into the industry. In short, the outdoor sector is struggling to expand its talent pool and match the right people with the right jobs.
