No glass ceiling

Glassdoor has announced that Christian Sutherland-Wong is its new chief executive officer. He was previously president and chief operating officer of the global job and recruitment site. Former CEO and co-founder Robert Hohman will remain with the business as chairman. Sutherland-Wong’s previous employers include LinkedIn and Bain & Company. In addition to his role at Glassdoor he sits on the board of Toolworks, which helps people with barriers to employment successfully enter the job market.


Look within for talent Down Under

Accenture has appointed Sarah Kruger head of human resources in New Zealand and Australia. She previously spent five years as talent organisation lead for the firm’s financial services practice in the same countries, during which time she led banks and insurance firms through major HR and change management programmes. Kruger has spent two decades at Accenture and says she is determined to help foster a workplace in which people can thrive with a focus on inclusion. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business and accounting from Charles Sturt University, New South Wales, and lives in Canberra.


On Cloud nine?

Rapidly growing Yorkshire software provider RotaCloud has enlisted Denise Jennings as head of HR. Jennings is also managing director of Athena HR, which offers outsourced HR solutions to businesses of all sizes. RotaCloud is among the UK’s leading cloud-based rota software developers with clients including the NHS and Tesla.

Both firms are owned by US workforce solutions provider True Blue. PeopleReady focuses on temporary recruitment across the US. Chip Holmes, PeopleScout senior vice president of client delivery, will serve as the interim president of PeopleScout.
