SAN JOSE, Calif. , Feb. 15, 2024 Job Mobz, a leading global recruitment solutions firm, has appointed Matt Charney as Editor-in-Chief. In his new role, Charney will head content, analyst/industry relations, and marketing communications. He is expected to lead growth for the planned acquisition of Recruiter.com, long established as one of the world’s top destinations for talent acquisition, hiring leaders, and recruiting practitioners.
The appointment follows the recent acquisition announcement of the Recruiter.com brand and website by Job Mobz from Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:RCRT), demonstrating the company’s long-term strategy in creating an editorially independent, vendor-agnostic platform that covers the talent acquisition and staffing industries with high-quality, high-impact journalism.
“Matt Charney brings a wealth of experience in strategic content development and industry relations, aligning well with Job Mobz’s vision for high-quality, impactful journalism in the talent acquisition sector,” said Jesse Tinsley, CEO of Job Mobz.
In his new role, Charney will lead the editorial and content teams and oversee strategic content development, industry relations and strategic partnerships, brand marketing, event and product coverage, and growth.
As a key member of the holding company’s leadership team, he will also work closely with Job Mobz’s extensive portfolio of recruitment and talent solutions companies. Charney will serve as an internal subject matter expert on brand and content marketing while working on the rollout of Recruiter.com with a commitment to maintaining objective and responsible editorial standards.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be moving back to the editorial side of the industry after years of product marketing and community management,” said Charney. “There’s a significant opportunity to contribute meaningful insights and foster discussions on hiring practices, aiming for a balanced and objective industry perspective. Given the lack of independent, trustworthy content destinations driving meaningful conversations and objective coverage of the talent industry, I think it’s time someone challenged the status quo. We’re looking to do much more than sell SaaS subscriptions or event tickets – our goal is to advance and impact the profession.”.
Job Mobz is targeting completing the Recruiter.com acquisition by early March, with a relaunch planned after that, contingent upon finalizing acquisition details and operational readiness. The current Recruiter.com RPO, contract recruiting, project recruiting, and on-demand hiring capabilities would shift to Job Mobz and its associated brands.
The company is dedicated to enhancing Recruiter.com’s stature as a premier destination for content, with a strategic emphasis on fostering deeper connections within the talent acquisition community. This will be achieved through enriching site content, hosting impactful events, and leveraging its vibrant social media presence, notably its LinkedIn group—the largest of its kind in recruiting—with more than 1.2 million active members.
“Matt Charney’s unique perspective, industry knowledge, reputation, and voice align perfectly with what the recruiting industry needs most,” said Miles Jennings, CEO of Recruiter.com Group, Inc. “We look forward to completing the acquisition and to the innovative ideas and fresh perspectives he will bring to his new role.”.
