Sjoerd Gehring, a vice president who oversaw Apple talent management, immigration, recruiting and administration of its global HR team, is joining the Miami-based hedge fund next month, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the news hasn’t been shared publicly.

The move comes the same week that the company told employees that Gehring’s boss — Chief People Officer Carol Surface — is departing after just about 18 months in the job. At Citadel, Gehring will replace Matt Jahansouz, who left the firm last month.

For Citadel, the Gehring hire is a coup. He was highly respected at Apple in his roughly six years at the company. Prior to his work at the iPhone maker, he “led recruiting and employee experience for Johnson & Johnson and, earlier in his career, served for a decade at Accenture, where he led its Talent Innovation Lab,” Beeson said in the memo.

Over the years, Apple has had a series of HR chiefs — some not staying in the job for long. That contrasts with other top positions at the company, where executives have served for years or even decades.
