AUSTIN, Texas — The CEO of Austin-based job website Indeed is stepping down from the company.
Chris Hyams announced he’s leaving to focus on what he calls “urgent issues” surrounding responsible AI and human rights.
He joined the company in 2010 and became CEO in 2019. He will be replaced by the company’s former CEO, Hisayuki “Deko” Idekoba, who led the company from 2013 to 2019.
The company plans to launch a new AI platform this fall that will act like a personal talent agent for workers and employers.
“At last month’s quarterly update meeting, I said there has never been a more exciting time to be at Indeed,” Hyams said in a farewell message to the company. “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.”
