Welcome To Swob, The Platform Helping Companies Hire Faster

Date:

Share post:

With Canada getting back to business, opportunities for employment are booming and Swob — an award-winning recruitment platform— is making looking for a job easy and hiring even easier.

“There are many people looking for work now that businesses are back up and running.”, says co-founder Alexander Florio, “Swob is not only helping job seekers get hired faster, but we’re helping employers hire faster as well.”

The free app, created specifically for job seekers, is available for download via the Apple Store or Google Play (also available as a desktop option). The app works like a dating app in that job seekers can scroll through part-time, full-time & seasonal employment opportunities and swipe right for those they wish to apply for and swipe left on those they don’t. Users simply create a profile, upload a resume, and identify their location — like how you would with a dating app — and then are matched with a wide range of jobs in retail & food service from which to choose.

“The idea for Swob came from my brother, Alexander, who was frustrated with the process of applying for jobs and felt there should be an easier way.” says Founder Stephanie Florio, “At the time he was using a dating app, and thought of merging the process of job hunting with the functionality of dating apps. The feedback we received on the idea from both employers and students inspired us to launch the business — we had discovered a problem and created a solution.”

For employers, Swob makes recruiting more cost-efficient and less time consuming. While most job boards charge per click and deliver subpar candidates, Swob’s built-in filters ensure that companies are presented with only the most qualified candidates. With monthly, annual, or pay-as-you-post options, employers are also provided with features that ensure their jobs are showcased in front of thousands of qualified users in their area. While the app is strictly utilized by job seekers, employers can get started by heading to the Swob website to begin posting job opportunities.

The pandemic has not only produced an influx of Canadians looking to return to work, but it has also created an uprise in virtual culture, and Swob is the app that’s helping job seekers find work and employers hire faster.
