Paul Humphries

CEO and Board member at Our Next Energy (ONE) and ex-CHRO of Flextronics

“We partnered with SucceedSmart to hire the majority of our executive team, including multiple C-suite positions,” said Paul Humphries, CEO and Board member at Our Next Energy (ONE) and Ex-CHRO of Flextronics. “As a high-growth startup, we’re hyper-focused on cost control but can’t afford to sacrifice the quality of talent, especially with our critical leadership roles. SucceedSmart helped us quickly identify and hire the most qualified leadership candidates for these ‘can’t miss’ hires—at a fraction of the cost of traditional executive search firms.

“The average time for SucceedSmart to present a candidate who was eventually hired was around two weeks, saving our team significant time. SucceedSmart’s AI-led hiring platform was also user-friendly and gave us deep insights into candidates’ qualifications and accomplishments. The SucceedSmart team has also been a critical partner in our leadership hiring efforts, with an unparalleled understanding of the market. We look forward to continuing to trust SucceedSmart to fill essential leadership hires as ONE continues to grow.”

Dr. Girish Vaze

Chairman & Managing Director, Elcom International

SucceedSmart was an essential partner in helping Elcom make our new hire in the U.S. The Head of Sales, in North America, is a critical role we quickly needed to fill to drive our go-to-market strategy in the region. This was a highly unique search in which only a handful of experienced sales leaders were qualified, and key details to determine the right fit are often not public or readily available through traditional hiring solutions.

SucceedSmart’s focus on reaching a superior quality of candidates and its AI-led accomplishment-based matching technology–rather than skills–were critical in finding this needle in a haystack sales leader while keeping the hiring confidential. The team also navigated the complexities of recruiting for our global, India-based company with white-glove service as we entered into new territory, managing everything from interview coordination to offer extension, ensuring we quickly secured a qualified sales leader.

It’s truly an innovative platform…The way it uses AI to bring forward profiles in a ‘single blind’ process, therefore you can remove conscious and unconscious bias…I haven’t seen any other platforms that bring that technology to the forefront, directly to the client…It really is a differentiating and disruptive platform.

Ali Kashani

CEO Serve Robotics

Building a team at a high-growth company requires speed and efficiency. SucceedSmart’s executive search platform has helped us save time and cost in identifying high caliber talent. We’re excited to be a part of Sanjay and his team’s vision in rethinking archaic industry practices of the past fifty years by creating a platform that eliminates friction in sourcing and screening, and removes traditional biases to help create diverse leadership teams.

Anand Parikh

Co-Founder & CEO, Chronus Health

Committing to a traditional executive search company was cost-prohibitive. With SucceedSmart’s affordable model, we were able to save significant time in the hiring process. In a matter of weeks, we quickly identified top talent in point-of-care medical devices and were able to make an informed hire.

ex-VP, Global Talent Acquisition, TaskUs

It’s just been a straightforward and positive experience…One of the things that’s been great about partnering with SucceedSmart is that we’ve had to pivot a few times based on the organization… SucceedSmart went out of its way to understand the new requirements and what we were trying to do as a business. They were able to pivot quickly to get the different profiles of candidates that we needed.
