Seattle-based interviewing company Karat on Thursday named Nathan Rader as its chief revenue officer.
Rader brings experience from Google and HighRadius to the role. A Karat spokesperson said this is a new role with the company.
"Nathan is an exceptional sales leader with decades of experience building and leading go-to-market functions," Karat wrote in a LinkedIn post announcing Rader's hire. "As Karat continues to expand globally, Nathan will play a key role."
Rader spent more than three years at Houston-based finance tool HighRadius, where his most recent role was senior vice president, according to his LinkedIn page. Earlier in his career, he spent more than 10 years at Google, where for five years he was head of sales of the company's cloud division. Other stops in his career include Oracle and IBM.

Karat was founded in 2014. The company offers technology and interviewers to help interview engineering talent. The aim is to help clients free up their own engineers to focus on their core work rather than interviewing new candidates. Karat also offers analytics. The company counts Electronic Arts, Citi and Indeed as clients.
In 2021, Karat raised a $110 million Series C round and reached a valuation of $1.1 billion. Last year, however, the company laid off 47 employees in January and 47 employees again in June. Karat has received support from tennis superstar Serena Williams to grow its Brilliant Black Minds program, which provides free job interviewing training and feedback to current and aspiring Black software engineers in the U.S.
In March of 2023, Karat named former Indeed executive Marcus Taylor, who first joined Karat at the start of 2022, as vice president of Americas enterprise sales. Taylor left the company in June and has since founded his own consulting firm.
