Services & Specialties

As a dedicated HR and recruitment partner for technology, Swift Momentum focuses on helping companies build global tech teams aligned with their specific technical and cultural requirements. They specialise in sourcing Software Engineers, Data Scientists, QA and Testing professionals, Cloud specialists, and talent in emerging areas such as Blockchain and Crypto. From permanent placements to contract roles, their consultants work closely with clients to understand the nuances of each vacancy, then curate a shortlist of candidates who fit both the job description and the environment.

Their core service offering covers end-to-end recruitment, including role scoping, talent mapping, active headhunting, pre-screening, and interview coordination.
