Simon Swan, co-founder of Hiring Hub, is leaving the company after 14 years to seek new challenges. The platform, which connects businesses with specialist recruitment agencies, has seen significant growth since its launch in 2011. Post Swan's departure as CEO in 2023, Mark Rothwell has assumed leadership, praising Swan's impact on the business. Swan reflects on his journey with excitement and uncertainty, invoking Hernán Cortés's motto to emphasize his commitment to new experiences. He intends to take time off to discover fresh opportunities and believes the business is well-positioned for the future.
Swan described his departure as both "exciting" and "trepidatious", adding: "It's been an epic adventure, and one that's taught me so much."
Reflecting on Swan's departure, Rothwell thanked the outgoing founder "for everything that you have done in your 14 years at Hiring Hub".
Swan cited Hernán Cortés's motto, "burn the boats", to underline his decision to leave without a concrete plan.
Swan plans to take some time out and see what fresh opportunities lie ahead, saying, "sometimes you have to 'burn the boats' to ensure you keep moving forwards."
