Ask any fitness business owner about their biggest headaches, and recruitment usually lands near the top.
Finding the right people - on time, with the right skills, and without blowing the budget - can feel like a challenge.
The reality is, recruitment challenges are consistent across the industry. But they don’t have to be. That’s why we built the HealthyPeople Recruitment Membership - a smarter, ongoing solution designed to give fitness employers more control over their hiring. HealthyPeople’s recruitment membership (sometimes called a business membership) is available for as little as $26/month.
Here are the key issues employers face, and how our membership addresses each one:
1. “I need someone right now.”
Too often, recruitment only starts when someone leaves or a new role opens up - resulting in rushed job ads and desperate hiring decisions.
✅ Get on the front foot with a recruitment membership:
Our membership gives you monthly recruitment credits that never expire. Even if you’re not hiring right now, your credits accumulate, so when the time comes, you’ve got credits in hand! You’re already prepared. This makes recruitment proactive, not reactive.
2. “We’re looking for a specific type of candidate.”
When you need a specific type of candidate, advertising can be a bit hit-and-miss.
✅ Enjoy regular targeted searches with a recruitment membership:
With a recruitment membership, you can regularly check who has been recently active on the HealthyPeople platform, giving you the ability to actively find the people who fit your needs.
3. “Advertising is too expensive and unpredictable.”
One-off job ads can quickly add up, and it’s hard to predict costs when you don’t know when you’ll need to hire again.
✅ Take control of costs with a recruitment membership:
Our membership gives you the ability to spread the cost of recruitment into a predictable monthly fee. You’ll know exactly what you’re spending, and your credits can be used flexibly - for job ads or targeted searches - whenever you need them.
4. “We don’t have time to manage recruitment properly.”
Writing ads, listing them, reviewing applicants, and searching through databases can feel overwhelming - after all, recruitment isn’t your core business.
✅ HealthyPeople’s services, with a recruitment membership, have your back:
With HealthyPeople, you post once, and we promote widely across HealthyPeople, FITREC and Seek (depending on the ad tier). Plus, with the ability to save candidates to a favourites list (exclusive to members), you can quickly build a pipeline of potential hires - reducing the time you spend scrambling later.
5. “Good candidates never seem to apply when we need them.”
The best talent isn’t always actively looking. They might miss your ad, even if they’re open to the right opportunity.
✅ Tap into featured candidates with a recruitment membership:
Go beyond job ads, go beyond connecting with passive candidates - your membership gives you the ability to reach out to featured candidates for FREE! This widens your talent pool dramatically.
6. “I don’t want to commit to a regular recruitment spend.”
Allocating money for recruitment is great in theory, but I don’t feel comfortable committing to an ongoing monthly spend for any length of time.
✅ Jump in/out of our recruitment membership as required:
Consistency is key, but if you’ve accumulated enough credits to recruit when needed, stop the membership. If funds are getting tight, stop the membership. Unlike other subscriptions, if you don’t use (or forget) about your subscription, accumulated credits ensure value is never lost.
The Bottom Line
Recruitment will always be part of running a fitness business. The question is whether you treat it as a last-minute scramble or as a controlled, ongoing process that builds the best possible team.
The HealthyPeople Recruitment Membership puts you in control - solving the key frustrations employers face and providing a cost-effective, flexible, and reliable way to build your team. Remember, there is no minimum term - jump in and out, anytime.
