Marcus Edwardes Consulting, LLC

Are you struggling to differentiate yourself (or your team) in today's Recruiting landscape?

Are you looking to :

 - Dominate your niche
 - Build an army of advocates
 - Speak “one-to-many” with your engaged audience of candidates
 - Earn referrals and market insights
 - Rely far less on cold outreach

Let's be honest... 

Most recruiters are doing the same thing over and again but expecting a different result.

And therein lies the opportunity for differentiation.

It all begins by shifting from a transactional to a relationship-driven mindset and viewing the opportunity as a Recruiter through a much wider lens than just the role you are looking to fill.

I'll empower you to grow as a recruiter by equipping you with the mindset, methods, and magic that will set you up as a successful practitioner for years to come.

It’s not “one size fits all”; our journey together will be uniquely crafted to serve your individual needs, and satisfy your thirst for knowledge and transformation.

Blue Coat Systems acquired by Symantec

SwingSearch closed 241 successful searches during Blue Coat System's highest growth period.  Our focus was Engineering, Sales, Customer Support/Success and Marketing.  After numerous failed attempts with contingent staffing partners, Blue Coat decided to outsource all of their searches to SwingSearch .  This was the inception of what the industry now calls the "container" model.  Retained level services for seasoned individual contributor level to start-up leadership teams.

Developed and managed Baldwin Forrester's largest territory in history.  Led all Business Development and Client Management & Retention initiatives.  Ran a team of 7 recruiters focussing mainly on Engineering and GTM searches.

Vice President of Sales

Jennifer Loftus founded Swing in 2005 with the goal of dismantling the recruiting industry status quo. A mentor at a VC firm told her there were only two services to choose from: resume-spamming contingency or “exec-only” firms with big company networks – not the networks startups need.  Fast-forward the team is 30 and growing with the start-up search intelligence Series A-D venture backed clients need.
