TopResume, the world’s largest resume-writing service, today announced two key hires to spearhead its leadership team. Byron Matthews is the company’s new Chief Executive Officer and Mike Ricciardelli is the new President and Chief Operating Officer. Prior to TopResume, Mr. Matthews was CEO and President of Miller Heiman Group and Chief Commercial Officer at Korn Ferry Digital.

“The resume-writing process is truly part art and part science, and as our research has revealed, should be handled by a professional who can offer a competitive edge to those facing an increasingly crowded job market,” explained Mr. Matthews. “Navigating today’s complex applicant tracking systems with confidence requires expertise, which TopResume has provided to millions of career-driven professionals through its free, expert resume review and resume-writing services. I’m incredibly passionate about driving this mission.”


Accurate Background, a leading provider of compliant, background checks, drug and health screening and Form I-9 verifications, today announced the appointment of Russell (“Russ”) Doll as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the promotion of Dan Shoemaker to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Both roles report directly to CEO Tim Dowd. The executive appointments support the company’s strategic plans, which include accelerating the company’s growth, scaling the business to support a broader set of customers, laser focus on operational and service excellence, and strengthening financial operations.

“Our acquisition of CareerBuilder Employment Screening last year bolstered our ability to serve more customers with our comprehensive employment screening services portfolio. Now, we begin 2021 with renewed purpose, to advance the screening experience so organizations can make smarter, unbiased decisions,” said Dowd. “As CFO, Russ will have an immediate impact on our business operations as we focus on growth and operational excellence in 2021. His deep experience with operations management, corporate finance, mergers & acquisitions, strategic planning and accounting, are precisely the skills we need as our business continues its growth trajectory.
