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.

微软首席人力官谈：HR如何帮助员工如何充分利用人工智能本文探讨了人工智能（AI）如何成为变革性的技术，重塑我们的工作方式。文章强调了AI带来的挑战，如工作流失和算法偏见，并提出了领导者在推动AI积极发展中所扮演的关键角色。重点在于培养基于敏捷的文化、重新想象工作流程和增强人类技能，以实现AI和人类协作的最佳效果。文中详细讨论了AI如何改进工作流程、提高生产力，并强调了人类情商、创意评估和管理技能在AI时代的重要性。

微软首席人力官 Kathleen Hogan表示，人工智能对我们工作方式的影响将比个人电脑更大。
AI是我们时代的决定性技术，创造了一个巨大的范式转变，它将改变我们的工作方式，影响力甚至超过了个人电脑的引入。我们曾经有一个大胆的愿景，“每个办公桌上、每个家庭里都有一台电脑”，而今天，我们希望在“每个人的口袋里都放一个副驾驶”。
当然，AI的影响也伴随着挑战。我们必须解决关于工作流失、算法偏见以及组织快速培养技能的真实担忧。但最终，我相信AI的潜力太大，不能采取观望态度。
领导者需要创造正确的环境，让AI获得积极的势头。这将需要准备和有意识的方法，以便这些新的AI工具不仅帮助员工提高生产力，而且帮助他们茁壮成长。我建议关注这三个方面，以更快实现这些好处：培养基于敏捷的文化、重新想象我们的工作方式、投资于更深层次的人类技能。
培养基于敏捷的文化
为了充分利用AI的承诺，团队必须保持敏捷。
即使是那些多年来一直在内部使用AI进行数据分析、预测建模和任务自动化的公司，生成性AI也代表着一个重大转变。通过能够理解人类语言、导航大量文档知识并创造内容，更多职能的员工现在可以使用这些AI工具。
一个基于敏捷的文化还将加速组织建立推动AI价值的更广泛基础和最佳实践的能力。我相信，在AI时代培养这样的文化意味着拥抱适应性领导力，领导者必须愿意深入未知。
重新想象工作方式
20世纪80年代和90年代的机器人自动化进步使制造业生产力翻了一番。这不是仅仅通过给工人提供更高效的工具实现的——公司通过重新思考生产技术和重新设计工作流程，优化人与机器之间的流程，实现了机器人自动化的全部价值。
同样，要充分利用AI采用的价值，领导者需要重新想象工作是如何完成的。这始于将工作分解为更小的任务，以确定AI能做什么，以及或者比人类做得更好。除了自动化一些重复或乏味的工作任务，我们还需要确定AI可以如何协助员工处理更复杂和微妙的任务，如研究、写作和分析。
这个想法是让领导者利用这段时间，不仅是自动化流程，而且是与AI一起重新想象流程，寻找新的工作方式。这将最终帮助人们更聪明地工作，而不是更努力地工作，给他们带来更多的精力，并发现更有意义和更令人满意的工作。
关注人类技能
生成性AI已经被训练了大多数人类语言，所以任何人都可以使用它。但就像任何新技术一样，仅仅给人们新工具而不提供使用它们的技能是不够的。
而且，尽管这似乎与直觉相反，人类技能与技术技能一样重要，以有效使用AI。这包括分析判断力、灵活性、情商、创意评估、智力好奇心、偏见检测和处理能力，以及委派任务的能力。
事实上，我们现在发现，基本的管理技能是发掘AI副驾驶的全部潜力的关键。就像委派给人类员工一样，与副驾驶合作需要能够清晰地沟通，设置背景和参数，定义期望，分析结果，并提供反馈。
一个好的起点是根据学科开发AI技能培训和实践。随着我们从自动驾驶AI转向副驾驶AI，对人们来说，仍然扮演飞行员的角色，用批判性的视角评估他们从AI工具中获得的输出是必要的。这包括验证准确性和评估偏见。最终，飞机的船长有责任成功着陆。
我相信，解锁AI的全部潜力是领导者的责任。AI的创新正在以惊人的速度发生。当我们导航AI对工作场所的影响时，组织领导者必须立即开始培育正确的环境，以确保没有人被遗留在后面。仅仅将AI工具放在员工手中是不够的。当我们培养基于敏捷的文化、重新想象我们的工作方式，以及建立获得AI最佳效果所需的人类技能时，我们可以帮助我们的组织和员工在这个新时代中茁壮成长。
对我来说，能够成为这个令人难以置信的时刻的一部分，既令人兴奋又令人振奋。
