pre-employment assessments for

Fitness & Spa Facilities

Our Gym Assessment is the perfect fit for corporate HR teams, gym or spa managers and owners looking for actionable insights into prospective candidates. 

Hospitality Solutions

The fitness and spa industry was one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, with many gyms and wellness facilities forced to close due to COVID-related restrictions.  The silver lining has been the escalation of the trend towards digital solutions and connected experiences, which could benefit in-person facilities through increased awareness and new cross-platform subscriptions.

While this rise in digital represents an opportunity, it also creates challenges for HR Teams, who now have an additional set of skills for which they need to evaluate candidates. 

At HighMatch, we have over 15+ years of experience partnering with fitness and spa facilities of all sizes, from single location gyms to national franchises.

Over time, we’ve developed an in-depth understanding of the qualities that influence success both in the industry and in the most common fitness and spa roles and can filter your candidate pipeline to ensure only qualified applicants move forward.

Some of our fitness and spa clients include:

We have experience identifying high quality candidates to fill popular roles such as:

  • Estheticians
  • Personal Trainer
  • Fitness Manager
  • Massage Therapist
  • Front Desk Manager

Looking to fill a unique role on your team, or simply want to find candidates who will be successful in your gym or spa?
