Joberate hires former Adecco executive

January 15, 2014

Joberate, a firm that uses big data to produce predictive analytics for human resources and recruitment, named Michael Beygelman as its new CEO effective immediately. Beygelman previously served as president of Pontoon, a division of Adecco that provides managed service provider and recruitment process outsourcing services.

Beygelman will be responsible for implementing Joberate’s long-term strategy, which includes moving the company’s headquarters to the U.S. from Finland.

Former CEO Jukka Pekonen will remain with Joberate in a leadership role as the company’s co-founder and head of European business development.

“What makes Joberate unique is the company’s focus on data reconnaissance and predictive analytics based on people’s online behavior,” Beygelman said. “As a result, HR will have predictive insights into attrition and retention and improve their on-boarding, talent management and succession planning functions for example.”
