The AI-led leadership hiring platform improved on its award performance following three Bronze Awards in the 2023 program

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SucceedSmart, the award-winning, AI-led leadership hiring platform, won four coveted Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards.

Most notably, SucceedSmart was recognized with two prestigious awards in Talent Acquisition Technology categories—including a Gold Award—for pioneering the world’s first AI-led leadership hiring platform, blending the precision and speed of artificial intelligence with the expertise of human recruiters.

Winners were announced on December 5, 2024 and the full list is published on the Brandon Hall Group website. SucceedSmart achieved recognition in the following categories:

• Talent Acquisition Technology Award – Best Advance in Unique Talent Acquisition Technology (Gold)
• Future of Work Award – Best Advance in Diversity and Inclusion Innovation (Gold)
• Talent Acquisition Technology Award – Best Advance in Emerging Talent Acquisition Technology (Silver)
• Future of Work Award – Best Advance in AI for Business Impact (Bronze)

SucceedSmart is disrupting the $8 billion U.S./$22 billion global executive recruitment industry with its powerful blend of AI precision with human insight that delivers diverse, future-ready, visionary leaders for the modern workforce. Traditional executive search firms and mass-market hiring platforms lag in responsiveness and inclusivity, constrained by outdated methods, limited talent pools of qualified leadership talent, and overly automated approaches that neglect the nuanced needs of high-impact hires.

“Traditional executive search firms operate primarily offline and have lacked innovation for over 50 years. In a market demanding agility, accuracy, and inclusiveness, SucceedSmart is the next evolution of executive search—AI-native and attuned to the modern workforce. We’re not only enhancing executive search; we’re redefining it as the new era of leadership hiring in the 21st century. We’re honored to be recognized by the Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards—especially with two awards in Talent Acquisition Technology categories—for our pioneering AI-led platform,” said SucceedSmart Founder and CEO Sanjay Sathé.

Utilizing an innovative­ SaaS and subscription-based model, SucceedSmart stre­amlines leadership hiring while e­liminating traditional placement fee­s. Based on a super-aggregated data set of millions of executive profiles, SucceedSmart uses a proprietary, patented accomplishment-based (rather than skills) algorithm to quickly match best-fit candidates with open positions leveraging the approach of dating platforms—essentially “Bumble” for executive search.

“In our 31st year, the Excellence in Technology Awards continue to showcase the best innovations in learning, talent management, talent acquisition, HR, workforce management, and sales enablement technologies. We are proud to receive applications from a diverse range of organizations globally, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of technology solutions” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Cooke, leader of the Excellence Awards program.
