Oxford, 24 August 2026: 360AI, the talent and market intelligence platform building AI that thinks like a recruiter, today announced the appointment of Sir Hossein Yassaie as Chairman.
Sir Hossein is a recognised leader on the global technology stage and the former Chief Executive Officer of ImaginationTechnologies. During his career, he helped build and scale a global technology business whose intellectual property powered billions of devices across mobile, consumer, automotive and enterprise markets. He was knighted in 2013 for services to technology and innovation.
As Chairman, Sir Hossein will work closely with 360AI Founder and CEO Sam Aria and the company’s leadership team. His focus will include corporate strategy, technology development, commercial growth, investment and the international expansion of the business.
360AI has developed an integrated talent and market intelligence platform built specifically for recruiters, unifying candidate sourcing, client prospecting, screening, database enrichment, market intelligence and AI-powered automation. Its live data engine delivers real-time intelligence across global talent and company pools of more than 1.5 billion profiles and 72 million company records, updated and verified from over 100 sources.
Sam Aria, Founder and CEO of 360AI, said:
“Sir Hossein understands what it takes to turn differentiated technology into a globally significant business. His experience building and scaling technology companies, combined with his belief in responsible and commercially useful AI, makes him an exceptional Chairman for 360AI. We are building AI that thinks like a recruiter. That means understanding both sides of the desk, recognising the context behind every search and giving recruiters the intelligence they need to make better decisions. Sir Hossein’s guidance will be invaluable as we take that vision into new markets.”
Sir Hossein Yassaie, Chairman of 360AI, said:
"Recruitment is a global industry in which better intelligence can create an immediate and measurable advantage. 360AI is not applying a generic AI model to an existing workflow. It is building a new category in the recruitment technology, data and intelligence specifically around how successful recruiters think and operate. I am delighted to join 360AI as Chairman and to support Sam and the team as they develop the platform, grow the business and establish a new category of recruitment intelligence.”
The appointment comes as recruitment businesses face continued pressure to improve productivity, reduce technology costs and generate more value from their existing data. Rather than replacing recruiter judgement, 360AI is designed to surface, prioritise and explain information so that recruiters remain in control of final decisions. The company’s published AI principles emphasise transparency, human oversight, fairness andevidence-based reasoning.
