“They provided two candidates and the first one was a real match for us at every single point, so that was great.
What I liked most about them is that they tried to find the best fit for my company; they weren’t trying to sell random candidates. They asked the right questions and prepared before providing us with any candidates, which was something that really mattered to me.
Communication and great technical expertise make them stand out.”
Inside the Alteryx search
The brief
Help an in-house talent acquisition coordinator who was managing both coordination and recruitment. A previous agency had supplied unsuitable candidates, consuming the team’s time.
How we worked
Clarified technical requirements and team fit before presenting candidates. A dedicated technical recruiter kept the client updated, answered candidate questions and coordinated feedback in a fast-moving market.
The outcome
Two candidates presented; the first matched the brief and was hired. The candidate described the process as quick and clear. After initially engaging two agencies, the client chose to continue with Skillers.

“We closed our positions pretty quickly, it took a noticeably small number of interviews on our side and quite a few cycles of adjusting requirements and selecting candidates.
They helped to prepare the JDs for open positions and performed filtering and selection of suitable candidates. A prescreening was made for the selected ones with the resulting report creation and providing to us together with CV of a candidate.
Skillers representatives were always open to communication and assistance in areas where we needed support. Information was provided in a convenient format and on time, moreover they are ready to adjust it for specific client.”
Inside the Smart Trader Labs search
The brief
Support a financial trading software company that initially had no in-house recruiter. After the company hired its own recruiter, it still needed external support for complex roles and periods of high hiring demand.
How we worked
Helped prepare job descriptions, sourced and screened candidates, and supplied an interview report with each selected CV. An account manager coordinated the process, with feedback after each stage used to adjust the search. Support continued through interviews, offers and the start of onboarding.
The outcome
The CTO reported that positions closed quickly with a noticeably small number of interviews on the client’s side. The team valued timely information, an adaptable reporting format and follow-up when internal decisions slowed down.

Inside the Front-end leadership search
The brief
Initially, the bank needed a deputy leader with broad responsibility for a large team. The first hire left after two weeks. The bank then revised the role to focus on mobile and web architecture and leadership experience, without direct line-management responsibility.
How we worked
The search covered 408 contacted candidates and eight presentations: five for the first brief and three for the revised one. The first candidate for the original brief was presented on day 19; for the revised brief, on day one.
The outcome
After the brief changed, the replacement search reached an offer in five days and the successful candidate started on day 18. The original search had taken 47 days to start. The faster figures describe the revised search, not the entire engagement.
Inside the Product Manager search
The brief
Find a product manager with experience in banking or fintech projects. Many qualified candidates declined because they were reluctant to change jobs in the prevailing conditions.
How we worked
Contacted 183 candidates and presented eight to the bank. The first presentation was made on day 41.
The outcome
One specialist hired, starting on day 75. The search required working through a high rate of refusals rather than relying on active applicants alone.
