and possessing a wide range of marketing skills.
Challenge
With any marketing role, we receive a large number of applicants however it is only a very small percentage
that have the necessary background competencies to qualify and be put forward to a client. Good pre-selection
is essential so as not waste client time.
Fulfilment
Skypath proposed a candidate that we felt our client would wish to see - although they were at a more senior
level than the advertised role. It is important to recognise when a candidate who falls slightly outside
requirement criteria may still be of value to the client. In this case, the client was so impressed that
they made changes internally to be able to offer a Senior Manager position to our candidate.

Sales Manager
Challenge
Though the budget was relatively low, the role required an individual that had all the skills and
qualities of a Sales Manager on a higher salary!
Fulfilment
Skypath found an excellent candidate who had been out of the industry for a while and who was
possibly therefore being overlooked by other agencies. He was keen to re-enter the travel industry
so the placement was win-win for client and candidate.
Requirement
Operations Support Specialist
Challenge
No less than 6 agencies were asked to find an Operations Support Specialist for the organisation.
It is not uncommon when the requirement is specialised to find that the selection process requires
intensive research and pre-investigation, regardless of number of agencies involved.
Fulfilment
Skypath carefully interviewed and selected potential candidates. All Skypath candidates were
considered highly suitable, two made the final four, and one was appointed to fill the position.

Challenge
The list of qualities given to Skypath by the line manager was no short list! He knew exactly what he wanted
both in personality and technical ability and this person needed to fit them 100%.
Fulfilment
Skypath considered some fantastic candidates, scrutinising the finer details of their skill set. Some came very close,
but did not fit 100%. After half a dozen initial interviews we came across a new candidate in the market who, after
initial talks, we knew hit the mark 100%. The candidate steamed through his interviews and exceeded the client’s
expectations. An offer followed quickly. Skilful determination means we avoid wasting client and candidate time and
end up with just the right match of candidate to role.
