How we hire

We would rather train than churn

Certifications get paid for and get time made for them. We would rather grow somebody good than replace somebody every 18 months, and the people on your account staying the same people is most of what you are buying.

It also means everybody here talks to clients directly. There is no account manager translating, so the person who explains a recommendation is the person who will carry it out.
