Barely two days after Apple's Chief People Officer is reportedly exiting the company, a top recruitment executive is also preparing to depart to investment firm.

Apple's top recruitment executive, VP Sjoerd Gehring, is going to leave the iPhone maker in favor of a position at the investment firm Citadel, a report claims. The alleged departure is the second major human resources-related departure at Apple in the space of a week.

People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that Gehring will exit Apple in November. He will be replacing Matt Jahansouz at Citadel, who exited in September.

While the news hasn't been shared by Apple yet, Citadel COO Gerald Beeson reportedly told employees that it was happening. "Sjoerd will spearhead our efforts to attract top candidates from around the world and help them build extraordinary careers at Citadel matching their merit and ambition," said Beeson in a letter.

Gehring leaves Apple after over six years in the role, joining the company in November 2018. Previously he was involved in recruitment for Johnson & Johnson, as well as Accenture.

The new departure appears not long after another high-profile chief's days were reportedly numbered.

On Wednesday, it was reported that Apple's Chief People Officer Carol Surface, Gehring's boss, was leaving her role after less than two years in the position.

    From the sound of it the Chief People Officer position was being folded back into the department it came from. This person would have been first in line to get the spot. But with it gone, not so much. Actually maybe that’s why Surface left too, in response to the reorganization and the position going away.

    Maybe they are dewokefying their HR like many big ones are doing.

    Yes, they are also de-unicorn-ing and de-fire-breathing-dragon-ing as well, just as many big ones are doing in order to interject solid asleep-at-the-wheel-ifying and yellow-star-post-ification into the corporate structure.

    Jeebus. 

    Which "many big ones" BTW?

    Agreed... Other companies both BIG and small are getting rid of the DEI initiative and its upper echelon hires and supporters and hiring the right people for the job.
