Recognition by Staffing Industry Analysts validates Sathé and SucceedSmart’s ongoing commitment to transforming leadership hiring

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SucceedSmart, the award-winning, AI-led leadership hiring platform, announces that founder and CEO Sanjay Sathé was named to the prestigious SIA Staffing 100 North America list by Staffing Industry Analysts.

“Recognition by SIA validates Sathé and SucceedSmart’s ongoing commitment to transforming leadership hiring”

The Staffing 100 North America list celebrates the remarkable leaders whose influence and accomplishments elevate the workforce solutions ecosystem and take the industry forward. Winners were announced on January 14 and the full list is published on the SIA website.

Sathé has nearly two decades of leadership experience in the staffing industry. He founded RiseSmart in 2007 and spearheaded its evolution from a concept based on his personal experiences into a significant disruptor in the $3 billion outplacement industry, becoming the fastest-growing outplacement firm in the world. RiseSmart was acquired for $100 million by Randstad in September 2015.

The experiences from RiseSmart set the stage for Sathé’s next venture. Sathé launched SucceedSmart in 2020 as a culmination of his 15 years as a candidate and 15 years as a buyer of executive search. It was clear that the industry was living in the past, had inefficiencies, and was ripe for disruption.

SucceedSmart is the world’s first AI-led leadership hiring platform and is disrupting the $22 billion global executive recruitment industry with its powerful blend of AI precision and human expertise.

SucceedSmart continually super-aggregates millions of executive profiles across the web, ensuring all relevant candidates are considered, not only those in databases and personal networks. SucceedSmart uses a proprietary, patented accomplishment-based (rather than skills) algorithm to match best-fit candidates with leadership positions. SucceedSmart’s large language models (LLMs) surface qualified candidates who otherwise may have been overlooked by traditional executive search and mass-market hiring solutions.

“Hiring qualified leaders is more important than ever before in today’s disruptive and ever-evolving business environment,” said Sathé. “Traditional executive search firms and mass-market hiring solutions are no longer effective for leadership hiring. SucceedSmart’s powerful blend of AI-led technology and expert human advisors delivers diverse, future-ready, visionary leaders for the modern workforce. I’m honored to be included on the SIA Staffing 100 North America list among such an esteemed group of staffing industry leaders and innovators and look forward to seeing the industry continue to transform in the years to come.”

SucceedSmart enables organizations to proactively build pipelines of qualified, diverse leadership candidates for current and future open roles. The SaaS platform and subscription model also offers the flexibility to scale up and down based on business needs without needing to adjust internal headcount. With SucceedSmart, organizations can decrease leadership hiring costs by 70% and reduce hiring time from 4 to 6 months to 4 to 6 weeks.

The survey of 1,750 U.S. residents highlights significant stockpiling activity and large purchases.

According to the survey, 28% of Americans are actively stockpiling goods, with another 17% planning to start soon. Household essentials (78%) and non-perishable foods (78%) rank as the most commonly stockpiled items, while 20% of respondents say they are stockpiling a year’s supply or more. Among active stockpilers, 15% have already spent over $1,000, and 7% are using rental storage units to manage their surplus goods.

Fear of tariffs is a key driver behind this behavior, with 9 in 10 respondents expressing concern about how Trump’s proposed tariffs will impact the cost of goods. The survey also reveals that 1 in 3 Americans have made or plan to make large purchases—such as electronics, appliances, and cars—before Trump takes office, citing his election as a significant influence on their decisions.
