Peer Quotes
“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!”
“Liza has been an incredible light on our team since starting at Swoon. She has been a model example of what it means to be a Swooner. 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!”

Maggie is the missing piece to the Direct Hire team! She is a team player, a strong resource, a recruiting Rockstar and is always super positive. Not only has she won Top Duck once in her short time here, she has won it twice for all of her hard work and dedication!
Quote from nomination:
“From day 1, Maggie has knocked it out of the park and led by example. She truly is the definition of the ideal Swooner. She never shies away from hard work and always fights to find that perfect candidate.
In her short amount of time here, she already has a placement on the board and more offers coming! She works well with clients, listens to their needs, and provides solutions to overcome objections. She collaborates well with sales, sharing her search updates and brainstorming strategies. I can’t wait to see what 2021 brings for her!”

She has put up the highest margin in the entire Sales organization for Swoon over the last quarter, grew to hit a new personal milestone during a pandemic and is constantly being recognized as a Top Duck at our monthly company meetings!
Quote from nomination: “Danielle continues to impress me more and more each day. This year, in the midst of a pandemic lead recession, she has grown her book of business to hit HUGE milestones and she does it all with grace. Danielle is incredibly thorough, she is truly a consultant for every manager she speaks to and delivers precisely on what they are looking for. She consistently has high quality performance for meetings, new reqs, interviews and placements. To top it all off, she does this while being a true team player. She wants to see everyone around her be successful – from the recruiters she is partnering with on each of her reqs, to her fellow Major Account Managers and beyond, she’s everyone’s biggest advocate and cheerleader.

During the pandemic, Swoon invested in our team and hired 30 new Business Development Managers and summer interns. Shanda was an integral part in onboarding all of these individuals remotely – something Swoon has never done. She worked around the clock to make sure all the new hires received any and all support they needed. She did an amazing job and we are so lucky to have her!
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!”
