About The Recruitment
RunningBall Global Sports Data, the leading supplier of sports information, is constantly looking for part-time sports enthusiasts worldwide to join our international team of Scouts.
Scouts attend sport events and collect data and statistics live from the venue using a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Full training and a PDA will be provided to each successful applicant.
Requirements
This is a perfect sideline or weekend job. Students are welcome to apply. Communicative English skills (both spoken and written) are necessary.
Previous experience is not required. The ideal candidate is reliable, committed, organised and honest. He/she is experienced in watching the sports he/she is applying for and has a thorough understanding of the game. A Candidate must be comfortable with using technological devices such as computers and mobile phones.
Runningball will prioritize applicants who are above 18 years of age but each and every applicant will be considered and replied to regardless of their qualifications and age.
Wages
Not only does RunningBall cover the cost of the ticket price and in some cases travel expenses too, but also pays a very attractive fee on a per game basis. The amount will depend on several variables that will be explained in further detail to all successful applicants.
About the Recruitment Procedure
To apply, simply fill in your contact details at http://academy.rball.com under the ‘Join Our Team’ section.
If you already are a Scout and want to apply for scouting an additional sport, simply click ‘Apply For Another Sport’ in the Scout´s data section after you have logged in.
Once you have filled in your contact details or have applied for scouting an additional sport, you will be contacted by the person in charge of Scouts in your region for the respective sport, your Scout Manager.
Your Scout Manager will inform you about everything you need to know regarding the job. If the Scout Manager has a need for a Scout in your region and is confident with you becoming a Scout Candidate, he/she will activate your account. Then your login data for http://academy.rball.com will be sent to you via email.
You are an official Scout Candidate for the sport you have applied for once you receive this email. You can login with your account details and start the testing process online.
First of all, we would like to ask you to fill in the online curriculum vitae (CV) that you will find at ‘Scout’s Data’.
In the next step you will find two online exams at the ‘Exams & Training’ section, which are split in several quizzes that we would like to ask you to take.
Some exams are about your understanding of the sport you have applied for; while others are about your English skills and your motivation why you would like to be a Scout for this sport. If you are a native English speaker, we would still like to ask you to take the English exam as it will not take more than 5 minutes of your time.
You do not have to complete all quizzes during the same session. Nonetheless, it is imperative to know that you are required to complete each quiz uninterruptedly. In other words, you will not be allowed to have multiple sessions for an individual quiz. If you log out during the quiz or close your browser, you will not be able to repeat the quiz another time!
The exams will be explained more explicitly just before you take them on the site.
Once you have completed the exams - which will not take you longer than 30 minutes - you will be contacted by email and possibly invited to a short talk online or by phone.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Applying for an Additional Sport
The procedure for everyone who already is a RunningBall Scout but additionally applies for an additional sport is shorter. Nonetheless, we also ask these Scouts to complete the respective exams provided at ‘Exams & Training’ after the Scout Manager has approved the application.
