"It is a great honor and responsibility for me to take the lead over one of the most successful internet companies in Russia," – **commented Dmitry Sergienkov** – "I am grateful to the Board and Mikhail for the opportunity, and to all of our employees for their tremendous support over the years. As a company, we have always been recognized for a relentless focus on the critical aspects of strategy execution, as well as for a unique corporate culture that partners closely with clients in solving their most challenging talent problems. With labor markets around the world in a state of fundamental change, I am convinced that we are uniquely positioned, as one of the largest global players in internet recruiting, to realize all the opportunities that this entails in the new phase of the Company's life."
