Hiring platform Indeed’s CEO Chris Hyams (pictured above) said on Monday that he is stepping down from the role. The company’s parent firm Recruit’s CEO, Hisayuki Idekoba, will return to his post as CEO of Indeed after a six-year break.
Hyams said he will serve as a board advisor this year to manage the transition. He joined the company in 2010 as VP of product.
“Today, over 300 million job seekers use Indeed each month. Our revenue has grown 200x. Most importantly, 27 people get hired on Indeed every minute — one every 2.2 seconds. Since we started measuring hires, more than 75 million people have gotten jobs thanks to Indeed — and we know that number is a dramatic undercount,” Hyams said.
