The Swarm is the first network recruiting platform for companies to combine the connections of their team, investors, and advisors. This is Swarm Academy, a place to learn about network recruiting and how to make the most of The Swarm. Get started with this intro lesson and glossary.

Network recruiting helps you tap into the power of connection to drive your recruiting and hiring. It can be used by any company looking to increase its competitive advantage in hiring.It makes the recruiting process more efficient by letting companies tap into their ecosystem to build a trusted talent pipeline, faster than they might if they used inbound or outbound recruiting.

In this lesson, we’ll take a look at three key factors for network recruiting success. You should be prioritizing these steps from the very beginning of your network recruiting journey. Let’s get started.

When it comes to building a rich, varied, and useful Network Graph in the Swarm, filled with talented connections from relevant disciplines and backgrounds, you need to invite the right people to share their networks.

Your Network Graph is where all the connections from your team and company supporters are combined. It’s only visible by the account Owner and Admins. To build it, invite more team members, investors or advisors. If you’re an early stage company you may not have a large number of employees to utilize the power of network recruiting, but here are some ways to be creative and get the most out of your Network Graph as you start using our network recruiting platform.

Investors are just as invested in the success of your company as you are and know that finding the right people in the early days is of critical importance. When they partner with you in the early stages of your company they want to provide as much value as possible, and part of that involves tapping into their network.

A more diverse network can be incredibly beneficial for your recruiting, allowing you to connect with a much broader range of qualified candidates and build a more diverse company. In this article, we’ll look at why a diverse network is so valuable, and show you how to build one.

Network Relationship Management (or NRM) is a new concept to help companies unify and make the most out of their networks.Companies are built on networks, yet the personal and trusted connections of your people, investors, advisors, and partners are often siloed in disparate systems. This creates inefficiencies in the company-building process, leaving untapped value and opportunities for recruiting, sales, or fundraising.
