Growth Opportunities
- Expand recruiting focus areas - build out a GTM & corporate-focused recruiting team to capture existing client demand and expand ACV.
- Expand UK delivery team - UK-based team is a considerably lower labor cost vs. US team without sacrificing quality.
- Expand into adjacent verticals - strong footing in AI, hardware, and semiconductor creates a natural lead into space & defense, manufacturing, and other physical industries that are growing rapidly.
- Scale business development team - an already-effective, repeatable sales motion that can be scaled to generate new logo growth.
- Increase RPO & Embedded - already a big investment for 2026, embedded contracts can help drive a higher % of recurring revenues.
