Recruiter.com appoints Xuan Smith as chief technology officer

Recruiter.com Group Inc (NASDAQ:RCRT), an on-demand recruiting platform, has appointed Xuan Smith as chief technology officer. 

The company said Smith is a Stanford University graduate and his experience includes over a decade of technology leadership roles at startups like Upsider, Roast, Appirio, and Aggressor and technology transformation work with KPMG, Deloitte, and PWC. 

As recruiting and hiring shift towards leveraging artificial intelligence and big data, the company said Smith will position and scale Recruiter.com’s platform and infrastructure to meet the market opportunity. Ashley Saddul, the former CTO and founder, will continue on as chief web officer.

“Recruiter.com is at a critical inflection point, and there couldn’t be a more exciting time for me to join,” Smith said in a statement.

“As a specialist in machine learning and building high-performance computing systems, I relish the challenge of applying these technologies to the complex, amorphous problems surrounding recruiting and hiring. There is an incredible opportunity to advance the speed, quality, and equity of hiring matches and decision-making processes, and I believe Recruiter.com can be an early leader in the next generation of recruiting technology.”

He joins Recruiter.com at a time when its rapidly expanding customer base is quickly adopting new technologies. Major enterprises, including pharmaceutical, advertising, and investment banking clients, recently leveraged Recruiter.com’s AI Sourcing platform to meet hiring demand for specialized roles.

In addition, Recruiter.com’s recent listing on Nasdaq and capital raise should allow the company to continue to expand its product development roadmap and further support its growing roster of subscription clients.

Under Smith’s leadership, the company noted that Upsider (acquired by Recruiter.com) developed an industry-leading predictive analytics platform which can cut recruiter sourcing time by up to 40%. 

Prior to founding Upsider, he served as a technical architect, responsible for managing the design and development of large-scale custom development projects.
