About AppyHere

Our story starts with a classic tale of frustration and realization

Our founder, Serge Massicotte, was the GM of Taleo when he came to the realization that hourly hiring and ATS platforms are like oil and water — they just don't mix.

So, he set out to change that, working alongside his trusted VP of Software Development, John Sarvari, to create the solution that would become AppyHere.

Later, the two joined forces with Martin Mathe, a 25+ year HR veteran who saw the enormous potential of Serge's solution. Together, they launched AppyHere in 2018. And then, like the final piece of a puzzle, Patrick McLean, a veritable rockstar in the recruiting industry, joined the team, bringing his expertise and vision to the table.
