Why choose Swann?
When you are looking for a reliable business partner to enhance your senior leadership team’s capability, it’s not a decision to be taken lightly.
The major generalist recruitment firms may be a safe choice, offering professionalism, gravitas and international networks. Niche firms that specialise in your industry can be more agile and may offer a more in-depth understanding of your business.
Swann provides the best of both worlds.
We have the capacity, capability, and reach to support regional and global projects, and the sector focus to provide highly relevant insights and expertise.
Swann specialises in engineering and capital-intensive industries, with a particularly strong track record in mining, natural resources and infrastructure projects.
Founded in 1993 by John Murray, an ex-miner, Swann’s broad expertise encompasses leadership, executive talent, diversity and inclusion, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
