Snagajob names chief revenue officer

Glen Allen-based hourly online staffing platform Snagajob announced Tuesday it has named Brian Schmidt as its chief revenue officer. In his new role, he will lead business growth and expansion efforts.

Schmidt most recently led global sales and operations at online travel company Tripadvisor Inc. He also previously worked at Google LLC, where he focused on business growth and bringing new products to market. 

“With nearly 36 million people currently unemployed, helping match hourly workers to the right fit opportunities is critical. And for businesses, there’s a lot to navigate as they reopen and make staffing decisions,” Schmidt said in a statement. “Snagajob has a strong vision for the future of hourly work and a product roadmap that will reinvent hourly hiring, and I’m thrilled to join the team at this important time.” Virginia Business recently interviewed Snagajob CEO Mathieu Stevenson, who outlined the company’s plan to address staffing challenges during the pandemic.

Schmidt earned his bachelor’s degree at Middlebury College and his master’s degree in business administration from Dartmouth College. 

Founded in 1999, the Snagajob platform connects more than 47 million hourly job seekers to jobs at 470,000 U.S. employer locations.
