Rebecca Carr is a seasoned product leader with over 15 years of experience in the recruiting and HR technology space. Her career includes roles founding and leading Checkr Pay, an earned wage access product by Checkr, SVP of Growth for SmartRecruiters, and product leadership positions at Jobvite, Branchout, and Playdom (acquired by Disney in 2010). Her deep understanding of the customer problem space, bringing differentiated products to end users, expanding product portfolios, and deepening customer relationships gives her a unique perspective on this role and space. Her innovative approach is crucial to setting the SmartRecruiters platform apart from others in the market.
“Talent professionals now need to hire faster and smarter. Most talent acquisition technologies haven’t caught up to the demands their customers face, forcing these organizations to support a web of disparate systems and data silos,” said Carr. “As we embrace this challenge with customers both old and new, SmartRecruiters is better positioned than ever to solve for these challenges through cutting-edge innovations such as integrated AI and intelligence, simplified user experiences, and robust APIs. This appointment strengthens my personal commitment to the company – ensuring we take our industry to new heights.”
