Riada Resourcing at The Open – Delivering Excellence in Event Staffing⛳

Our team took in the atmosphere of The Open in Portrush

As the 153rd Open returned to Royal Portrush in July 2025, Riada Resourcing was proud to play a key role in one of the world’s greatest sporting events, not just as recruiters, but as a locally established team passionate about people, opportunity and community.

In preparation for The Open, we focused on sourcing enthusiastic, flexible individuals keen to be part of a global sporting spectacle. Promoting the opportunity to “Serve, Support & Shine at The Open,” we attracted candidates from across the UK who were seeking experience in hospitality and event support on one of the world’s biggest sporting stages.

From bar staff to food service assistants, Riada successfully placed a high volume of candidates into exciting temporary roles throughout The Open Week. More than placements; they were chances to contribute to one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world and help deliver an exceptional experience for attendees and organisers alike. With over 278,000 people visiting the area during the event, the energy in and around Portrush was unmatched.

Our UK-wide reach cemented our position as a trusted recruitment partner, capable of delivering high-volume staffing solutions for major events, all while maintaining our commitment to personal service and local understanding.

We also encouraged our own team to step away from their desks and get involved. Through our Work Well Live Well initiative, Riada staff took time to soak up the energy of The Open and enjoy the unique buzz it brought to the Causeway Coast.

To mark the occasion, we hosted The 2025 Riada Open Golf Competition in Portrush, this was a light-hearted internal event that gave staff the chance to enjoy fresh air, friendly competition and a connection to the week’s sporting excitement.

Adding to the fun, we filmed a short challenge video titled “How Many Recruiters Does It Take to Putt?” It was a light-hearted take on our team’s golfing skills (or lack thereof). With plenty of laughs and some questionable techniques, it was the perfect way to capture the spirit of the day.
