London, UK, 28 April 2022: JobAdder, an innovative B2B, cloud-based SaaS platform designed to help make recruiting more efficient and joyful for everyone, has announced that James Payne, a veteran in the recruitment and SaaS software space, is joining the company as its first Vice President of EMEA.
