Sir Richard Branson

Swob® won the prestigious "Pitch to Rich" competition from Virgin Mobile, earning recognition for our mission to transform how restaurants hire and how job seekers find opportunities.

Our Story

Swob® was founded in 2017 by sibling co-founders Stephanie and Alexander Florio in Toronto.

Alexander's frustration with traditional job applications inspired the concept - applying dating app mechanics to job searching.

The platform emerged from a desire to offer convenience, ease of use, and countless opportunities to job seekers everywhere.

“I was frustrated in the job market looking for jobs and thought there had to be an easier way. It comes down to convenience, ease of use, and making sure there are opportunities for people who are looking.”
- Alexander Florio, Co-Founder

Why Swob® Is Different

We didn't just build another job board. We rethought hiring from the ground up.

Skip the Paperwork

We believe your experience speaks louder than a PDF. Our AI assistant, Emma, focusses on fit, not formatting. No resume required.

24-Hour Connections

Traditional hiring takes weeks. Our employers respond within 24 hours because empty shifts can't wait.

Built for Mobile

90% of our job seekers apply from their phones. We designed for thumbs, not desktops.
