“Where do I even begin? I couldn’t think of a better lead for our team – she is truly the glue that holds both recruiting and sales together. Liza is understanding, resourceful, and helpful beyond belief. She’s there to lend a listening ear on the hard days and is constantly our biggest cheerleader and motivator. Not quite sure where we’d be without her!”

She balances her lead responsibilities with grace and empathy while still remaining a top performer within our Major Accounts team. She is consistent with her activity, extremely knowledgeable in IT skills, and a joy to work with. She never has an “I’m too busy” attitude – even when I know she has too much on her plate, she continuously offers to take on more responsibilities. We are so lucky to have her!”
“Liza always brings an optimistic and uplifting energy to the team. Whenever I bring challenging situations to her not only does she consistently provide helpful solutions but she is willing to always go to bat for me. She always goes out of her way to focus on the needs of our team!”

This quarter’s winner was Julia Haas. As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, Julia has absolutely crushed it this quarter. In the last two weeks of December, she placed 4 NDC Recruiters (which is pretty unheard of). She does it all with the best attitude, always happy and ready to help!
Title: Talent Acquisition Specialist
Peer Quote
“Julia has worked tirelessly on finding solid talent for my team. She has stepped up so much over the last few months and assisted in taking on tasks for other team members. She really owns the process of TA and working with hiring leads. She is open to feedback and direction. The NDC would not exist without her work.”
Julia chose a career in Talent Acquisition because she loves getting to connect with so many amazing people from a variety of different backgrounds and experiences each and every day.
“It’s so rewarding getting to represent Swoon and guide candidates through our interview process, potentially placing them into their dream career with us!”
See why she Swoons here:
“There are so many wonderful pieces of Swoon that I get to talk to candidates about every day. From the fun, driven, collaborative company culture we have fostered to the endless growth opportunities, all while working alongside some of the most hard-working people I know. So there is never a shortage of amazing things to speak about when it comes to why someone should join our team.”
We asked Julia what her professional and personal goals are, and she sums it up perfectly!
“Our team has some big goals now and for the future of Swoon. Right now, we’re expanding our newly established office in Phoenix, Arizona, while also hiring across departments for various sales and recruiting positions. As we keep growing, we want to continue bringing in top talent team members that are passionate about their work within Swoon and developing an inclusive, dynamic, and driven team culture.”
“I want to continue learning and growing every day. I love that Swoon supports our individual career growth and actively works with us to make that happen. I can’t wait to see the goals and milestones we’ll continue to reach as a company, and I am excited to be a part of it!”

Kayla Moore
Title: Lead Technical Recruiter
Kayla stepped into Swoon and immediately stepped up.

All of this and she’s only 4 months in! From a sales perspective, Kayla is a breath of fresh air in the industry – she’s collaborative, transparent, and best of all reliable. She truly embodies Swoon’s positive nature and is a force to be reckoned with!

Quote from Nomination: “Shanda has revamped so much of the training material to be remote. I also can’t imagine the DuckU (our internal training classes) weeks spent with all our new BDMs. She is always ready to help point the new recruiters in the right direction as well as provide resources for them to further their learning. Shanda has really gone above and beyond this last quarter!”
