Swarm Training

Happy Monday 😉 #traininganddevelopment

Happy 3(ish) year anniversary to me! It's been quite the ride, I joined Swarm after I took a bit of a break in working to look after my mental health after hitting a very very low ebb. I honestly thought when I had my interview, that I wouldn't be considered after taking a 3 year break from recruitment and 1 year from the traditional working environment. BUT Paul offered me the role and I was met with nothing but understanding. 3 years on and I have been supported throughout pregnancy, maternity, my return to work and everything else that life has thrown at me in between. All while being able to have the flexibility to be at home with my doggos when I need to, or be in the office when I need to see grown ups that won't (or at least be less likely) to throw themselves on the floor if I ask them to do something. So grateful for Swarm Group and the values that it embodies as without those, although I am sure I would have managed, it would have been a lot harder. Excited for the year to come as I begin to return to more of a working "normal".

Is this a positive way forward...or a worrying slippery slope? You could argue that 50 interviews are a poor hit rate for 1,000 applications. Or is this a reasonable expectation? Any thoughts? https://buff.ly/4a6eXt9
