Recruitment Partner

SwingDev-a hippo company is the Polish branch of a fast-growing InsurTech product company - Hippo Insurance. We’re here to make home insurance smarter and more proactive, using tech to bring fresh solutions. We also create digital products that support our customers, always focusing on what really makes an impact.

Putting a lot of effort into hiring top-tier professionalsis a proof that we care a lot about tech experience, the attitude, human approach, and what we could call „culture fit”.

„SwingDev is all about people” - yes, it may sound a bit cliche. But whether we're writing code or just hanging out, we know that people are at the heart of everything we do. We like to have a good time and keep things light, even when we're tackling big projects. We could brag about what’s making us special, but we’ve boiled it down to two key ingredients: mature, companionable people who, rather than compete, prefer to inspire and have each other’s backs; a culture of trust, empathy, and positivity that keeps us together, lets us interact as teammates and friends, and truly enjoy the ride.

Are we a good match?

As Recruiters, we take care of the entire end-to-end recruitment process (i.e., briefs with Hiring Managers, reaching out to candidates, writing job ads, conducting interviews, or providing feedback) and do our best to ensure a great Candidate Experience. As we work on a global scale, you'd be cooperating daily with Hiring Managers from Poland and the United States. This is why we are looking for candidates with at least 5 years of experience in IT recruitment, preferably in an international environment, with very good English skills. We assume that with such a background, you already know a lot - but there are still many things we can teach you.

It's also important for us to find someone who can look for answers independently, propose ideas, and seek improvements rather than always follow the same old patterns. Moreover, it is to see your true pleasure and fun in what you're doing!

SwingDev-a hippo company is a great place to initiate and implement your ideas, so we're looking for people who are proactive and have a strong sense of passion and initiative. We support those who want to do new things and make them happen. Sounds like you? Apply!
