Xavier Marchioni, CEO of Jobpartners, credits the companyís 100 fold revenue growth over the past five years to major customer wins, new strategic partnerships, plus doubling the number of employees. He said, ìWe are absolutely delighted that our phenomenal success over the past year has been recognised by the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 - to be ranked number three is a fantastic achievement. Year on year weíre finding that customers are becoming increasingly focused on the processes behind human capital management. Legal compliance, attracting talent and increasing the effectiveness of management processes are all driving the high demand for our solutions. Our approach to support organisations is to take the productivity gains from enterprise resource planning (ERP) and apply them to HR. It is driven by Internet technology and our services can be integrated easily with other corporate systems. We expect to continue our very high growth rates and go from strength to strength year after year.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.
