Jobpartners Ranked as One of Fastest Growing Technology Companies in the UK

Jobpartners, the European leader of software solutions dedicated to the PRM (People Relationship Management) market, today announced that it has been ranked in the 2007 Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the UK. Rankings are based on average percentage revenue growth over five years.

Xavier Marchioni, CEO of Jobpartners, credits the companyís rapid growth over the past five years to major customer wins and renewals, the expansion of its presence in Europe with the opening of new offices, and a major recruitment campaign. He said, ìThis is the second year running we have been listed in the Deloitte Fast 50 which is a fantastic achievement for Jobpartners, and a great recognition of the past yearís success in Europe and in the US. Companies across the world are having problems finding and retaining talented people, and therefore need solutions to help them manage their talent effectively. This business challenge is helping to drive the impressive growth rate of Jobpartners and I expect our expansion to continue.î

Growing the top line enough to make the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is especially meaningful during competitive times for the technology sector, said Simon Kerton-Johnson, Chairman of Deloitteís UK and Ireland Fast 50. We congratulate Jobpartners on becoming one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the London region.
