QUOTEBOARD:
Colin Smith, President, Racing America: “The launch of Racer Jobs grew out of a fundamental belief that the racing industry can benefit from a centralized, stakeholder-controlled platform that communicates and promotes the incredible opportunities that exist within the sport. Even though this project is supported by NASCAR teams, this is also a vehicle to bring both new and experienced candidates into many different sectors and operations across all racing, from the professional level down to grassroots opportunities.”
Jonathan Marshall, Managing Director, Race Team Alliance: “One of the biggest challenges we regularly hear from our member teams is the difficulty in finding a steady stream of candidates to work in their organizations. We believe with the creation of the Racer Jobs platform; we will not only be able to aggregate the best and brightest candidates in order to help teams fill this need but also provide the general racing industry a valuable service, thus contributing to RTA’s mission to help the sport grow.”
Derek Nusbaum, Regional Vice President, Prestige Staffing: “We’re excited to partner with, and promote Racer Jobs, and to create this relationship with RTA Media. We know that all race teams require top notch professionals to maintain their leadership in motorsports. We’re confident and excited to play a role in their long-term success.”
