The Journey with The Candidate
Meet Sam Hall, the Head of Client Marketing at CAVU, founded by Manchester Airport Group. With a passion for leading comms planning and holistic marketing channel strategy, Sam has made significant strides in her career, thanks to her partnership with The Candidate recruitment agency.
Sam's relationship with The Candidate began when she reached out, seeking a new role.
Sam came from a background in both media agency and client-side roles, with a strong foundation in marketing that enabled a seamless transition into the CAVU role.
The process was swift and efficient, with Laura Walters, Recruitment Director from The Candidate providing exceptional support throughout. Sam recalls, "Laura was a pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond, reliable, and always available if I needed to chat or had questions. The experience was seamless."
From initial discussions about the job role and the company's long-term ambitions to preparation for the second-stage interview, Laura's guidance was invaluable. The quick follow-up and efficient handling of the offer further highlighted the professionalism of The Candidate.
Developing in the Role
Since joining CAVU, Sam has not only established new processes and best practices but also expanded her role, contributing to the wider commercial and e-commerce team. Her journey reflects her ability to adapt and grow, the support within CAVU, and showcases The Candidate’s exceptional ability to connect talent with opportunities.

Why The Candidate Stands Out
Sam highlights several key differentiators that make The Candidate exceptional:
- Personalised Approach: Unlike other agencies that focus on volume, The Candidate takes the time to understand individual skills and preferences to ensure the right fit.
- Continuous Support: The relationship extends beyond placement, with ongoing support and check-ins.
- Professionalism and Reliability: The consistent and organised communication from The Candidate, especially Laura, builds trust and confidence.
Laura Walters, Recruitment Board Director, says:
''Sam is a highly esteemed and well-connected professional in the marketing and media scene in the Northwest. She is respected and serves as an inspiration to the new generation of media and marketing professionals. Her career path reflects significant progression and development, making her a shining example of someone who has successfully navigated both agency and in-house roles, acquiring a wide variety of skills along the way. Known for her likability and professionalism, Sam stands out as a versatile and accomplished candidate in her field.''
