全球知名招聘平台Indeed 的CEO宣布卸任,前任掌门人 Deko 回归接任
【HRTech报道】2025年6月2日,全球领先的招聘平台 Indeed 宣布重大管理层变动:现任首席执行官 Chris Hyams 宣布卸任,并由前任CEO Deko 重新担任公司最高领导职务。这一人事变动标志着Indeed进入AI战略升级的全新阶段,也为即将发布的“Agentic AI 平台”铺平了道路。
Chris Hyams 于2010年加入Indeed,最初担任产品副总裁,后于2019年起接任首席执行官。在其任内,Indeed实现了跨越式发展:月活跃求职者从2000万增长至超过3亿,平台累计帮助超过7500万人找到工作,公司收入增长超过200倍。Hyams也因此被广泛认为是推动Indeed转型与全球化的关键人物。
Hyams在告别信中表示:“Indeed 是我职业生涯中最有意义的一段经历。我们的使命不仅仅是帮助人们找到工作,而是赋予他们尊严、目标和人生的方向。”他也指出,尽管决定离职十分艰难,但“人生漫长,时间宝贵,应将其用于最能发挥影响力的地方”。未来他将专注于多个全球性议题,包括Responsible AI、信息透明、劳动者赋权及科技与人文的融合发展。
值得关注的是,Hyams强调,他将留任董事顾问至2025年底,并将协助新一届管理团队完成过渡。在交棒之际,Indeed也即将于今年秋季发布其“史上最重要”的产品创新——Agentic AI 平台。该平台旨在为求职者提供“个性化的职业代理人”,为企业提供“智能人才发掘工具”,借助AI重新定义招聘体验。
新任CEO Deko 曾在2013年至2019年间担任Indeed首席执行官,彼时他带领公司完成了核心产品的重构、全球业务拓展及关键技术堆栈升级,被认为是Indeed历史上创新速度最快的时期之一。此次回归,也被业内视为Indeed押注AI未来的战略信号。
分析人士认为,随着AI技术快速发展,全球招聘市场正经历前所未有的结构性重塑。Indeed此时的人事调整,既是战略交接的自然延续,也展现了其在AI驱动的“未来工作世界”中继续保持领导地位的决心。
Hyams的离任,也引发了全球HR科技界的广泛关注。LinkedIn、X(原Twitter)等社交平台上,不少业内人士表达了对他领导风格的尊敬和对其未来行动的期待。
Indeed 的变革,或许正预示着一个全新招聘时代的开启。

After nearly 15 years of helping people get jobs, I’ve made the decision to leave Indeed.
Here is the note I shared with the team.
~~
Hi everyone,
After nearly 15 years of helping people get jobs, I’ve made the decision to leave Indeed. Indeed has been the most meaningful work of my life—and choosing to leave has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve had the incredible privilege of working side by side with people who care deeply about each other, and about our mission to help people get jobs. Together, we have helped millions of people make better lives for themselves, for their families, and for their communities.
Effective today, Deko returns as CEO of Indeed. From 2013 to 2019, Deko led the company through a period of extraordinary innovation and growth. I know his visionary leadership will guide the next era to even greater heights. I’ll remain on as a Board advisor through the end of 2025 to support the transition.
I joined Indeed in October 2010 as VP of Product. At the time we had 130 people, 20 million monthly unique visitors, and a simple and clear mission to help people get jobs. Indeed was the biggest company I had ever joined, and I worried I had missed all the fun of building something great. I could not have been more wrong.
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.
Our mission to help people get jobs is the driving force of Indeed. It’s our connection to the people whose lives we touch every day. We know that a job is more than just a paycheck. It’s a source of dignity and pride. A job is where we find meaning and purpose in our lives. The average person will spend 90,000 hours of their lives at work—more than most of us will spend with our loved ones. That time is precious, and the work we do to help people get jobs is a kind of sacred responsibility.
When my brother and I were kids, our dad told us a story about a close friend facing challenges in his life. The lesson of the story was that we make tough decisions not because life is short, but because life is long. Time *is* precious, and we need to spend it where we can be most useful.
At this moment in history, that means devoting myself to a few urgent issues ensuring that all technology—not just Indeed—is built with humanity at its core. This includes advancing Responsible AI, countering disinformation, empowering workers, defending human rights, and bridging the gap between technology and the humanities. Many of you know my path began far from tech—a liberal arts degree, work in adolescent addiction recovery, teaching high school special education. My career in tech has been driven by the values instilled from these experiences. As technology reshapes our world, these values feel more urgent—and at risk—than ever. That’s what I want to help change.
There’s never a perfect time to leave a job that means so much. This fall, we’ll launch what I believe is the most profound innovation in Indeed’s history. Our new agentic AI platform will realize the vision of a personal talent agent for every worker in the world, and a personal talent scout for every employer. I’ve been inspired to work every day with the teams bringing this vision to life. But now is the time for the teams who will carry this work forward to lead the way.
I’m deeply grateful to our founders Rony Kahan and Paul Forster for their vision, and for inviting me on this journey. To Deko for bringing Indeed into the Recruit family and giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to lead Indeed. To the early team whose commitment to putting job seekers first resonates in every decision we make today. To our exec team for leading with vision, clarity, and humanity. To our Inclusion Business Resource Groups for everything you have taught me. And to the teams who rarely get the spotlight but are essential to everything we do—Client Success, Workplace Operations, Trust & Safety, IT, AV, Communications, HR, Finance, Legal, Aggregation Operations, Security, Business Technology, and our many partners like RK Catering and Allied Security, to name just a few.
Most importantly, I am grateful to all of you, along with the hundreds of millions of job seekers and employers who have come together on Indeed to create a better world of work.
At last month’s quarterly update meeting, I said there has never been a more exciting time to be at Indeed. I believe that to my core. Thanks to AI, the world of work is changing faster than ever, and the world needs Indeed to innovate faster than ever. I will be cheering you on from the sidelines as you build a better future of work for all.

塑造工作未来的五个维度
德勤(Deloitte)定义的未来工作是
“The growing adoption of artificial intelligence in the workplace, and the expansion of the workforce to include both on- and off-balance-sheet talent.”
我们定义了工作的未来,因为许多变革力量影响着一个组织的三个紧密相连的层面:工作(内容)、员工(人员)和工作场所(场所)
本质上,工作的未来是由当前的社会经济变化所创造和影响的,并受到新工作世界的力量和趋势的影响。
塑造工作未来的五个维度
有两个领域在很大程度上影响着工作的未来。首先是在工作场所和工作任务中越来越多地采用人工智能、机器学习和增强功能。第二个维度是国际劳工局在其工作未来文献评论中确定的五个维度。这些方面是:
1.创造就业
2.就业质量
3.社会保护
4.工资和收入不平等
5.社会对话和劳资关系
就业机会的未来是指创造就业机会、破坏就业机会或未来劳动力的组成。许多人越来越担心,任务自动化的速度快于创造就业机会的速度,以及由于自动化而出现的新部门。
“当现有的工作岗位被自动化和人工智能操作的其他系统所取代时,就业岗位的下降速度可能会快于全球劳动力。”
麦肯锡(McKinsey)估计,自动化可以取代目前由人类从事的45%的活动,但只有5%的工作可以完全由技术实现自动化。人们相信,在未来,工人将花更多的时间在机器无法胜任的活动上,例如管理人员、应用专门知识和与他人交流。人类将花费更少的时间在可预测的体力活动以及收集和处理数据上,这两个领域的机器已经超过了人类的性能。所需的技能和能力也将发生变化,需要更多的社会和情感技能以及更先进的认知能力,如逻辑推理和创造力。人们还认为,随着工业布局从发展中国家转向发达国家,自动化可能会破坏全球劳动力格局。随着发达国家利用机器人的增加,加上需要尖端技能的新的创新生产技术,将降低劳动力成本。
相反,工作质量的未来涉及未来的工作条件或社会保护制度的可持续性等问题。零工经济的增长导致自营职业、特遣队和中介工人的增加.预计到2020年,这一比例将增长到40%的美国工人。据认为,随着这种从传统就业类型的转变,什么是就业的定义可能变得模糊不清,从而导致劳动力市场的法律不确定性。虽然特遣队工作人员所从事的工作与工作保障大幅度减少有关,但它允许高度的灵活性,使工人能够控制其工作生活平衡,而雇主则能够从工人的灵活性和更大的成本节约中获得经济上的好处。人们相信,零工经济的增长将让位于改进的工作模式,从而提高劳动力市场的效率。然而,临时就业往往与较低的工资、较少的培训和减少的职业发展联系在一起,长期而言,这将对劳动力市场产生负面影响,因为个人有责任不断提高技能和发展自己。
将以前有保障的工作外包给从事小型和不稳定工作的个体,预计会在广泛的基础上降低劳动力标准。今后的工作很可能以项目为基础,更替率很高,从而使特遣队或机构工作人员获得社会保护和工作保障的机会减少。在零工经济中,数字工人被认为是自营职业者,他们被要求提供全额的社会保障缴款,增加他们的经济负担,并使他们相对于传统的雇员相对更糟,他们也受到社会政策的保护,如最低工资,这又一次是为正式雇员保留的。
关于工资和收入不平等的讨论既关注工资和收入的平均增长,也关注它们今后在家庭中的分布情况。人们越来越担心,属于最低收入阶层的家庭可能最不准备适应新的工作世界,从而造成日益扩大的不平等的恶性循环。人们还认为,随着对高技能工人需求的增加,工资不平等现象将进一步恶化。
最后,社会对话和劳资关系的未来是指在未来几年里,有组织的工人制度将如何在这种推动变革的情况下演变。
工作的未来如何影响人力资源和我们今天的工作方式?
在思考工作的未来时,有很多事情要考虑,其中之一就是人工智能和增强对劳动力的影响。据信,人工智能的增长将使60%的职业拥有至少三分之一的自动化工作活动。正如我们前面讨论过的,零工经济的主要特点是短期合同或自由职业者的盛行,而不是历史上的永久角色规范。随着Uber和Deliveroo等公司的迅速扩张,我们看到了新的工作模式的出现。这些新的工作模式由于引入了灵活工作等服务而得到了这种增长。员工们正在寻找更多的灵活性,以真正实现工作与生活的平衡。随着支持这些模型的新工作模型和技术的兴起,组织正在采用一种更加敏捷的工作方式,在满足业务日益增长的需求的同时,为员工提供他们所需的灵活性。
与多代员工一起工作需要领导们接受新的工作方式。因此,采取一种使员工能够不断学习和提高技能的方法,不仅是未来工作的副产品,而且是领导者在制定人力资源战略时应考虑的问题,以确保他们留住顶尖人才。
工作的未来不仅是创造新的工作方式,或如何产生新的工作场所,甚至是人工智能如何取代现有的工作。这也是关于我们如何能够丰富新的人的能力,并将他们融入劳动力队伍,同时为未来创建更可持续的组织。人们越来越关注员工的经验,借助人工智能的力量,企业正在寻找新的方法来衡量员工的敬业程度和情绪。这些创新有可能对雇员的留用产生重大影响。
当我们思考工作的未来时,我们应该努力找出我们如何为教育创造一个更有价值的环境,倡导不断学习我们的劳动力。技术的兴起让我们能够在我们想要的时候学习,在我们想要的任何设备上学习,理解我们如何在需要的时候将学习建立在一个组织文化中是关键。
最终,当你想到人力资源在未来工作中所扮演的角色时,它实际上是为了使我们的员工能够快速适应变化,同时嵌入持续学习的重要性和需要,并支持他们的上升期和再技能。在支持员工的同时,他们必须开始指导领导者培养一种领导风格,让他们两人都能克服未来工作中出现的挑战,同时接受支持员工的需要,培养必要的技能,以确保团队和组织的成功。
