Today, we announce that Aleksey “XAOC” Kucherov is leaving the team, and Oleksii “Magician” Slabukhin, who’s been in the role of Chief Marketing Officer, is now becoming the CEO.



Aleksey “xaoc” Kucherov’s comment:

“Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting and believing in HR no matter what. The team will continue doing their best to achieve the best results, but it’s time for me to move on to continue growing professionally. I know that you want to hear some specific reasons about why I’m leaving, but they’re too complicated to explain here in just a few of sentences. The most important thing is that we’ll keep communicating and being friends.

I hope for your understanding and support in the future! GL HF!“
