“I had the pleasure to work with Swan Group recruiting for a few key roles within my organization. I found Swan Group’s approach to be highly collaborative: listening to our needs and adapting as they changed over time. The additional time the team invested into knowing our company, our strategy, and our goals paid benefits. The quality of the candidates presented to us were truly good matches, not just from a position requirements perspective but also culturally. Thanks for your help.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Steve Swan, of the Swan Group, for a number of years now. We have worked together on several placements of high-level IT professionals to support the IT transformation within biotech. When a CIO was needed within my organization, I immediately reached out to Steve as I knew finding the right candidate would be difficult. At that time, it was a ‘candidate’s market’, the company was mid-transformation, and speed was imperative. Steve delivered. We were able to hire the right CIO within a few weeks and now that it has been a number of years, I can confirm it was an excellent placement. Steve understood our business, our culture, our challenges, and our strategy so he was able to combine all of that into his search and match that with someone who had the right experience, skills, and personality for the role. I will always use and recommend Steve for IT placements because why mess with success!”

“I have worked recently with Steve to find a new opportunity. He and his team were extremely responsive and used their considerable network to help identify a great new role. He was personally involved throughout the process with frequent updates and sound counseling. I would recommend Steve to any others who are looking for their next opportunity.”
