Product Manager

  • Full-time

Company Description

At SwoopTalent, we’re transforming the way global brands (GE, Teradata, IBM, Juniper…) consume and analyze talent data. We use AI powered algorithms to automatically connect and verify talent data from internal and external sources. For customers, that means they have a single access point to retrieve accurate, connected and constantly updated talent data. It doesn’t stop there, when all of your data is in a single place, you can imagine the use cases. Recruiters who are used to using six different talent platforms can now do everything they need in a single place or a Director of IT that needs to migrate data across systems after acquiring another company can easily do so by allowing Swoop to handle the migration. We’re excited about what’s to come as SwoopTalent embarks on changing the way the world looks at Talent Data. Are you?
