How Skylink Inc. recruits and hires faster with Deel

Skylink, Inc. simplifies global aircraft maintenance with custom material solutions and repairs. As a fast-growing SMB company with 30+ global employees, its recruiting process couldn’t keep up.

Before using Deel’s ATS, Skylink’s People Operations Manager, Lucy Coletta, managed hiring through a patchwork of tools. Candidate scorecards lived in Google Forms. Communication was split across Asana’s ATS tool, email, and Google Chat. Interview scheduling and feedback tracking were manual and time-consuming, making it harder to maintain consistency across roles and regions.

Skylink’s brand promise is to deliver a ‘wow’ experience during the recruiting and hiring phases. But manual processes and recruiting inefficiencies made it difficult for Coletta to consistently maintain the company’s “wow” experience without it taking a toll on her.

Skylink chose Deel HR, using the ATS module alongside Engage and Contractor, to bring recruiting into a single, global Deel platform.

With Deel’s ATS, Coletta built tailored application forms for specific roles, scheduled interviews directly in the platform, and integrated email with Google Workspace to manage all candidate communication from one place. Notes and hiring manager feedback now lived on the candidate profile in Deel.

“The ATS user experience is very streamlined, with everything I need on one candidate screen—from interview questions to hiring manager feedback. I can easily drag and drop candidates into different stages of the hiring process. The ATS saves me so much time.” — Lucy Coletta, People Operations Manager, Skylink Inc.

Interview guides customized by role gave hiring managers a clear structure. Plus, Deel’s talent funnel made it easy to see exactly where each candidate stands in the process.

By moving recruiting into Deel, Skylink replaced manual workflows with a process that’s faster, clearer, and easier to manage globally.

Coletta tracks her most important KPI—time to fill—directly from Deel’s ATS analytics dashboard, along with the time candidates spend in each stage. That visibility helps the team identify bottlenecks early and keep hiring moving.

“ATS 100% helps us hire faster, making our life so much easier and creating a polished, streamlined process for candidates and hiring managers.” — Lucy Coletta, People Operations Manager, Skylink International

Just as important, Deel eliminated the need to search across inboxes and tools to find candidate history—everything is in Deel.

One system for the entire employee lifecycle

For Skylink, Deel isn’t just a recruiting tool, it’s a strategic enabler for company success. It’s transformed recruitment from an administrative task into a data-driven, AI-powered module that Coletta can rely on. ATS has accelerated Skylink recruiting and hiring, improved candidate quality, while ensuring compliance.

Coletta values Deel’s ongoing product improvements and responsiveness to customer feedback, giving her confidence that the ATS will continue to evolve as Skylink’s hiring needs grow.

“I would definitely recommend the ATS to someone looking at an ATS solution.” — Lucy Coletta, People Operations Manager, Skylink Inc.

With Deel HR and Deel Hire working together, Skylink has built a hiring foundation that supports global growth without adding complexity.
