Sophie Regan - Candidate Case Study

We are proud to represent only the best talent in creative, marketing, technology and analytics. We recently helped the talented Sophie Regan with her job search and she is now at Ultimate Performance working as a Global Marketing Manager. Read how Sophie has bagged her dream role and her tips on how you can too!

What attracted you to your new role and what has been the best part?  

I have always had an active interest in the fitness industry, exercising regularly and always keen to try out the latest fitness tech or attend a new class, so when The Candidate put forward the role of Global Marketing Manager at Ultimate Performance, I knew I had to get it.

A few months into the role and one of the best parts has been getting my teeth into learning about the fitness industry not just in the UK but within each of our locations. I then take these insights to ensure that our comms and marketing activities are right for each of the countries we operate in. Also, being a people business, I liaise with people from each of our locations on a daily basis which I love, plus every single day is different.

What were you looking for in a new role?

Primarily I was looking for a client-side role in an industry that I felt passionate about. I had worked in agencies for almost six years and loved the variety that gave me, however I wanted to now contribute to the success of a single business.

What interests you most about your industry?

On the surface, people think that the fitness industry is all about the aesthetics and looking good, but behind all of that you realise that this industry changes people’s lives for the better. Whether that being reversing health issues or improving their quality-of-life day to day, this industry has the ability to make a positive impact in so many ways. Nobody ever regrets investing their time or money in a training programme and it’s being able to creatively convey those positive messages that I love being a part of.

What was your experience working with The Candidate? 

The Candidate have assisted me on two separate occasions during my career, with a 100% success rate! They have positioned themselves as the best in the business and the contacts and roles that they have access to prove the claims. Each recruiter is a specialist within their field, with the ability to find you the perfect role to match your experience and ambitions. They are also fully equipped to guide and support you throughout the entire job search, from answering any concerns you may have to providing tips to help you nail your interview.
