Swift HR Solutions is recognized in Silicon Valley for winning the Seattle 2.0 Awards, "Best Service Provider to Start-Ups"

"What an amazing group of women on this list, computer scientist, entrepreneurs, engineers, product designers, social media experts, and executives," said Founder and CEO of Swift HR Solutions, Shannon Swift.  "To be in the company of women pioneers like Janis Machala, Patty Stonesifer, Connie Bourassa-Shaw, Trish Millines Dziko, Susan Sigl, Emer Dooley and others is awe inspiring and I'm both proud and humbled for the recognition."

Swift HR Solutions is excited to see that the need for Human Resources in building a solid technology company is recognized and hopes that its work with early-stage companies continues to help define Human Resources as one of the key initial and ongoing requirements of any company's success.

"We look forward to seeing women like Shannon supporting the technologist--male or female—who are conceiving and building amazing technology and companies, continue to be recognized and a part of this prestigious honor," said Kathi Jones, President, Products for SwiftHR®in-a-box.

About Swift HR Solutions

Swift HR Solutions is the premier provider of Human Resource services, products, and support to early-stage companies.  Its unique combination of consulting and SwiftHR® in-a-box product ensures a company begins with a solid foundation and grows in an intentional manner.  Avoiding common mistakes that can result in costly fines/fees and more importantly—lost time and productivity - is just one way that Swift HR Solutions provides value to its clients. This resource allows companies to focus on their key business initiatives and ensures that Human Resources is never a distraction, but rather a valuable addition to the team. 

"We are very honored to receive this award from the start up community," said Shannon Swift, Founder and CEO of Swift HR Solutions. "Being recognized as a valued contributor to companies at even the earliest stage is both exciting and rewarding, and is an honor more commonly bestowed on the legal or finance role.  The fact that our clients and community chose Swift HR Solutions as the premier provider of both strategic and tactical HR services is huge to us."

Swift and her team of VP-level consultants have been working with early-stage companies since the company was founded five years ago.  Each of the individual team members has at least 20 years of Human Resource experience and work to support the key business initiatives of their clients, ensuring that HR is pivotal to the company's success.

The company also recently launched SwiftHR® in-a-box, a comprehensive, cost-effective HR solution for early-stage and small companies, typically with 2 – 20 employees, who want to self-manage their Human Resource function. With the help of a dedicated HR professional, everything needed to implement payroll, benefits, best practices and ensure compliance on both the state and federal level is available in both a tangible form and also via a secure web portal. This 24x7 access, its unique design, and the phone and email support of experienced HR professionals set SwiftHR® in-a-box apart from any other early stage solution.

"We feel that Kathi's combined experience in human resources, sales, business development, and account management will allow us to expand our product offerings and in turn better serve the needs of our current and future customers" said Founder and CEO, Shannon Swift.

Jones, a seasoned executive and entrepreneur, was most recently the Co-Founder and EVP of Sales and Account Management at Conenza, a builder of trusted online communities for global enterprises. At Conenza she was instrumental in building its top-tier client list and oversaw client relations. Prior to Conenza, Jones was the Executive Director of the Microsoft Alumni Network where she re-engaged this high-profile community, increasing participation over 250% during her tenure. Jones has also served as VP of Corporate Services for Aventail, a pioneer in the VPN market, overseeing its Human Resources, Recruiting, and various Operational functions.

"In these economically tough times, it's more important than ever for companies to stay relentlessly focused on their key business initiatives. Swift HR Solutions has designed products and services that allow businesses to do just that. Going forward, we'll be focused on additional offerings that help companies demonstrate the best HR practices at even the earliest stage, reduce the risk of fees and time-consuming distractions from being out of compliance, and most importantly, build a culture that attracts and retains the best talent" said Jones. "Swift HR Solutions already boasts an impressive client list, and from that collaborative experience we are better prepared to add new products and improve the already well-branded SwiftHR® (HR-in-a-Box product), to play a role in the success of even more outstanding companies."
