The SaaS industry is indeed competitive, but with Etienne's innovative approach towards marketing strategy, we are confident that we can set JobAdder apart in the recruitment space."

Upon his appointment, Fabrice Etienne shared his enthusiasm for joining JobAdder, saying: "I have always been passionate about marketing, especially the way it connects people from diverse backgrounds to a single product or project. Growing up in Switzerland, I was fascinated by how culture shapes our perceptions and reactions. This experience drives my desire to create authentic, engaging marketing strategies that resonate with different audiences."

Etienne also reflected on what attracted him to the company: "What drew me to JobAdder was the company's commitment to its people and products. Throughout the interview process, it was clear that the team shares a genuine passion for what they do and a deep care for their customers. It felt like a perfect match, and I'm excited to contribute to JobAdder's mission to help shape the future of recruitment."
