Slow timelines, unclear next steps, and gaps in communication can all create uncertainty. Even when someone is genuinely excited about the opportunity, not knowing where they stand can push them to explore other options. Take a look for a few ways to keep top candidates engaged below.

We’re excited to share that we have been named a 2026 Strategic Supplier by Allegis Global Solutions (AGS)!

Ever hired someone who looked great on paper but ended up needing more support than expected? That’s usually the difference between skill exposure and depth. Not every role needs full skill mastery, but every role does need the right level of ownership. Swipe to see a few ways to determine skill depth.

Hiring in 2026 looks nothing like it did a few years ago. Between AI-flooded inboxes, resumes that sometimes don��t reflect the real person, and hiring timelines that keep getting longer, many hiring managers find it hard to tell which candidates are real.

Technical skills get them in the door. Soft skills determine how far they’ll go and if they’ll succeed long-term on your team. Here’s how to spot them in an interview setting.

Meet one of our newer Swooners: Daniela! Based in Guadalajara, México, Daniela joined the Swoon team two months ago as a Senior Recruiter supporting our KSA team! In her day-to-day, she sources top talent across different markets, conducts pre-screen calls, and partners closely with our sales team. Her favorite part so far? The team. She loves working alongside the KSA team and feels inspired by their drive, passion, and the opportunity to learn from such a talented group. And a fun fact? Daniela has been obsessed with horses since she was little. Her dad once surprised her at her elementary school graduation by showing up with a trailer to pick up her dream horse, Chocolate – a childhood memory she’ll never forget. Welcome to the flock, Daniela! We’re so happy to have you on our team!

Speeding up your hiring process doesn’t have to mean cutting corners. Sometimes, all it takes is removing friction and having a more thought-out plan in place. Take a look at a few steps below!

President’s Club was one for the books! We had a wonderful time celebrating our largest President’s Club yet in the Dominican Republic. This group of Swooners really raised the bar in 2025, and the trip was a well-deserved way to recognize their hard work and dedication. Now the big question… who will be joining us on the next President’s Club trip? Only time will tell. If you want a shot at being there, we’re hiring!
