Swoon Reviews

Pros

- Intelligent leadership team - Transparency from the top down - Impressive client portfolio - Competitive pay, career progression, and personal development opportunities - Positive reputation in the industry - Involved in the community

Cons

- The staffing industry can be challenging due to the fluctuating market - need to be resilient and keep a positive attitude

Pros

The people you work with are so great and direct managers are really great people

Cons

Not an account manager or account executive role. This is a BDR role so be aware of that if you are considering it. Lots and lots of cold calls all day long within established accounts but you won’t be working with any known buyers and you will be doing tons of cold calling to companies that don’t work with swoon yet. Again- this is a BDR role

Pros

Quick response to someone that is hired

Cons

Does not disclose position well

Pros

Flexible. Good pay. Nice people

Cons

Not a real employee. Not actually a part of the company where placed

Pros

Lots of money to be made

Cons

Micromanagement, lack of adjustment to metrics based on market

Pros

Swoon is a hugely supportive and proficient team.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about swoon

Pros

I am obsessed with this company. I've been here for over 3 years, and my love for the company has not changed. The people, the culture, the flexibility, the MONEY - all amazing. Swoon has given me opportunities that I never thought I would get this early in my career. I have had some personal struggles throughout my time here at Swoon, and everyone has been so completely understanding and given me space and time to work through issues. Swoon has given me work/life balance, amazing opportunities, motivation, professional development, positivity, friends, and a whole lot of money. I never want to leave.

Cons

There are ups and downs to any company especially with a rising and falling economy. The ups are absolutely worth sticking through the downs.

Pros

Awesome environment to work in

Cons

Can't think of any at the moment

Pros

The company values its tenured employees but treats young professionals with less than 2 years of experience like garbage

Cons

Swoon takes advantage of professionals who are new to recruiting or are fresh out of college. You don’t make commission your first 6 months and are expected to out perform recruiters with 7+years of experience. The company uses you to make a profit then will find a way to fire you if you can’t out-perform 75% of the company by your 6-month mark. There’s a high turn around for a reason. Not only do a lot of people in their first 6 months, they fire a lot of people too (I think they accidentally over-hired and need to cut their losses). I left Swoon & while I was I interviewing for other staffing agencies, the hiring managers laughed at Swoon’s commission structure and how they mistreat new employees. Now I’m making a base of $65,000/yr ($15k higher than swoon’s NDC Entry-Level program) plus higher commission percentages from DAY ONE. That being said, if you’re a recruiter with over 3 years of experience, swoon will pay you an admirable rate and will treat you with respect. Still will be toxic at times, though.

Pros

- The people, the leadership. People work hard and are driven by success - Flexibility: flex schedule- do what you need to do to get your job done - The perks: you feel so valued! Anniversary gifts, happy hours, competitions, there is even a sabbatical offered after 10 years! - The money: you can make really good money here. Commission plan is better than I have seen- generous overall package. It's commission- so a get out what you put in. You will need to work for it- but Swoon embraces working smarter- not longer.

Cons

None. This is staffing and we work with people! People can be unpredictable, but that comes with any Sales/Recruiting job. The Pros of this company so much outweigh any negatives.
