Global Fitness & Leisure Recruitment, Done Right.
Love Recruitment International connects exceptional talent with ambitious businesses across the USA, Europe, Middle East and Australia - backed by a decade of UK market leadership.
About Love Recruitment International
Since 2015, Love Recruitment has been the trusted talent partner for the UK's leading gyms, leisure trusts, boutique studios, and fitness suppliers. We built that reputation on one thing: doing recruitment properly.
Love Recruitment International takes that same standard - deep sector knowledge, a proactive approach, and a genuine commitment to both client and candidate, into the global market. Every search is led by consultants who have lived and worked in the fitness and leisure industry. That means faster shortlists, sharper quality, and conversations that respect your time.
Whether you're a scaling boutique brand entering a new market, a global operator building a leadership team, or a senior professional ready for an international move, we're the right partner.
