Swyg is on a mission to eliminate bias from recruitment and to make interviewing fair for all.
We're building the world's largest referral network where companies can find great talent based on evaluations by candidates' peers. Unlike static profiles (CVs/Resumes), this means you can hire based on knowledge and experience, not past job titles.
Through multiple, short, video-chats, candidates interview other candidates while an AI moderates and reduces bias. This way, Swyg brings more fairness and inclusivity to the hiring process plus a great candidate experience.
We assess technical skills as well as interpersonal skills such as communication and collaboration style.
