HireVue has launched in Europe and hired a new general manager for EMEA & APAC to oversee its global expansion.

Darren Jaffrey (pictured), previously senior vice president of international operations at Taleo and chief operations officer at MrTed, will head up the new London office of the video technology provider.

The expansion will include in-region technology infrastructure and business operations comprised of customer support, professional services and sales resources. In the past six months, HireVue has also secured a joint collaboration with LinkedIn and an integration agreement with Salesforce, among other partners.

“Businesses in Europe and Asia Pacific are inherently more distributed, mobile and need to do more with less,” said Jaffrey. “Existing HR systems lack the world-class candidate experience, speed and consistency provided by HireVue’s talent interaction platform. The company is poised for explosive growth in the global market by partnering with companies large and small to accelerate and improve the way they recruit talent.” 

Mark Newman, founder and CEO, HireVue, added: “There’s an exciting transformation taking place in workforces around the world. Unlike many companies that take global expansion casually, we’re very serious about our commitment to the local markets in Europe and Asia Pacific. The combination of Darren’s deep roots in both of these regions and strong track record leading major companies in the HCM category sets HireVue up for great international success.”
