Meet Matt Holmes: The New Captain of Hackajob’s Global Recruitment Armada
In a bold move that feels straight out of a sci‑fi recruitment saga, hackajob— the AI‑driven talent‑search platform that has already eclipsed LinkedIn’s London talent pool— just recruited none other than industry heavyweight Matt Holmes as its Chief Commercial Officer. With a fresh $6.7 million Series A cash infusion, the company is now poised to sprout wings across the UK, Europe, and the U.S.
Why Hackajob – and why Matt?
- AI‑First Hiring: Hackajob’s proprietary machine‑learning engine scrapes bias out of CVs so the focus stays on pure skill. Tech giants like Apple, Argos, and Vodafone already trust the platform.
- Rapid Growth: Since its 2014 launch, Hackajob has “stacked” more live London‑based tech candidates than LinkedIn itself. That’s a huge win in an era where every tech firm’s talent war is fought in the digital trenches.
- Fresh Talent Drain: Matt Holmes, the ex‑Managing Director of Onezero under Impellam PLC, brings 14 years of tech‑recruitment wizardry and a genuine curiosity for AI and machine‑learning. He’s ready to lead the company’s international expansion, helping it attain its bold goal: the “number‑one platform for any company looking to fill a technical role.”
Holmes’ Vision for the Next Chapter
Matt tells us his enthusiasm is almost palpable: “Hackajob is punching through the antiquated recruitment fog. Forget the dusty CVs, the rigid interview scripts, and the human bias that got nothing to do with actual performance.” (He practically lights a fire in the room when he talks about diving into new product lines such as Software Engineering, DevOps, and Architecture, and even widening into marketing and finance.)
He’s all about meritocracy in hiring – a principle that is slowly becoming the industry’s compass. Every company he’s touched has watched the old school CV model get retired in favor of sharp, data‑driven hires. “If you’re still stuck in the old node, causally trust that we’re moving the industry,” says Holmes.
From the Hackajob HQ: The CEO’s Take
Co‑Founder Razvan Creanga zoomed in on the significance of this appointment: “Matt’s reputation in the tech‑recruiting arena already precedes him. His hands‑on experience will help fix the scalability issues that have long nagged hackajob.” In plain words, Herman says the previously “slow-paced” process is about to explode into a lightning‑fast service.
