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.

领英新任CEO发全员信:在担任CEO的第一天,对LinkedIn未来的一些想法。On day 1 as CEO, some thoughts on the future of LinkedIn
编者注:这是LinkedIn新任CEO Ryan Roslansky 在2020年6月1日上任第一天的邮件。
今天早上,在我开始担任CEO的第一天,我给LinkedIn的员工发了以下邮件。我也想对LinkedIn上这个社区的每一个人说声谢谢。
为世界做好事和做好生意并驾齐驱是非常难得的,但在过去的11年里,我们有幸在这个交叉点上建立了LinkedIn。我有幸在我们生态系统的每一个部分工作--从最大的全球专业社区到围绕它建立的5个不同的企业。我有幸向里德和艾伦这样真正有远见的人学习。我很幸运地在前排座位上聆听了Jeff关于规模化和领导力的大师课。而我也很幸运,能和大家一起继续打造下一代的LinkedIn。
我会第一个告诉你们,我从来没有想过自己会在大流行期间走上CEO的新岗位。我也是在美国长期存在的系统性种族主义再次暴露出来的时候担任这个职务的。摆在我们面前的挑战是巨大的,但我比以往任何时候都更强烈地感觉到,没有什么工作是我愿意做的。
这是因为我们公司的存在是为了给全球劳动力中的每一位成员创造经济机会,无论他们的背景、邮编、种族、性别、性取向或其他选择或偏好如何。现在,这比以往任何时候都更意味着将人们相互联系起来,并将他们所需的工作、信息和技能联系起来;意味着使公司能够像面对面一样,以虚拟的方式有效地与客户和员工联系起来;还意味着帮助各国政府建设面向未来的经济。
我在担任这一职务时感到荣幸的同时,也感到责任重大。我们在帮助定义未来的工作方面发挥着独特的作用,并以创新和公平的方式进行。让我充满信心的是,我知道我们大家都在共同承担这一责任。我们的文化和价值观是我们迄今为止成功的基础,在我们共同谱写下一个篇章的过程中,它们将成为一种激励的力量。
我们一直在寻求保持领先于专业人士进入的世界,现在也不例外。我们在过去五个月中所看到的变化将创造我们的会员和客户的新需求,其中许多需求我们都有独特的定位来帮助满足。
以前面对面的互动和工作正在远程进行 虚拟社区将在连接人们的专业和社会方面发挥越来越重要的作用。
劳动力正在变得更加全球化和多样化,因为人们不再需要聚集在同一个地理位置或时区。
由于人们和公司正在经历模式的转变,并需要做出具有持久影响的快速决策,因此获取真实、可信、及时的新闻和观点正变得至关重要。
虚拟学习、虚拟销售和虚拟活动的成功,永远在改变着人们需要身体力行的事情。
一线工人和那些缺乏未来技能的人将被取代,并面临长期失业/就业不足。现在,我们比以往任何时候都更需要加倍努力,在技能市场上帮助这些工人重新掌握技能并过渡到未来的角色。
我们在塑造所有这些模式转变中发挥着根本性的作用。但是,要抓住这一机遇,履行这一责任,我们必须加快创新步伐。LinkedIn生态系统是为全球专业人士提供经济机会的一个无与伦比的工具。而现在,我们比以往任何时候都更需要确保我们以#OneLinkedIn#的方式来解决我们需要解决的最关键问题。每个人都需要了解他们的工作如何映射到公司的战略和功能。我们必须明智地决定在哪里投资,在哪里集中精力,在哪里建设,在哪里停止建设。倾听我们的会员和客户的需求从来没有像现在这样重要,因为我们作为一家公司存在,就是为了帮助他们连接和驾驭工作世界。
我们打造下一代LinkedIn的过程中,我们有一个独特的优势,那就是成为微软生态系统的一部分,这个世界上最伟大的创新引擎之一,在世界的每一个角落发挥着有意义的积极作用。我个人非常感谢能与萨提亚和微软高级领导团队一起工作,实现我们的愿景,为人们和公司赋能,并实践我们的核心信念,即技术作为一种善的力量。
在利用技术作为善的力量方面,过去几周美国发生的令人发指的种族不公行为清楚地提醒我们,在创造一个更加公平的未来方面,我们可以发挥重要作用。我致力于与大家站在一起,利用我们的规模和平台来解决系统性的挑战,帮助做出有意义的改变。由于我们的差异,我们是一个更强大的团队。当我们走到一起,在我们的愿景的驱动下,在我们的价值观的团结下,我坚信我们会成功。
艾伦-凯观察到,"创造未来比预测未来更容易"。我非常同意这句话!
让我们开始吧...
