Wayflyer Case Study

In 2022, Mason Alexander undertook its first business support hire for Wayflyer’s Dublin office, filling a pivotal role as Executive Assistant (EA) to support the CEO.

1 Challenge

One of the primary challenges stemmed from the hiring manager’s unfamiliarity with the Dublin market.
The requirement for a candidate with substantial experience to efficiently support the CEO and other senior executives.
