Despite prevailing negative US market conditions, Boston based eRUNWAY is currently hiring experienced technology professionals worldwide. The company is gearing up to meet a staggering amount of new project work it has amassed over the last 3 months.

A press release says that Tushara Canekeratne, co-founder and Executive Vice President Technical Operations, recently visited the Colombo and Hyderabad offices to provide eRUNWAY technology professionals with insight on plans to meet the unparalleled growth taking place in the company. Although most services companies are experiencing a decline in growth, eRUNWAY has grown steadily- 75%+ 3 year Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) with a sharp increase in new customer wins and existing customers expanding their eRUNWAY teams during the last 2 quarters. The company won 10 new customers last quarter. Furthermore, many of its existing blue chip customers including Vignette, EMC, Zeborg and Ascential expanded their relationships.

While many other services companies are laying off staff, eRUNWAY has recently hired over 100 experienced technology professionals worldwide, mostly in Hyderabad and Colombo. ‘We are finding a tremendous need for the services we offer,’ says Canekeratne. ‘We provide our customers with an invaluable service by mitigating technology development risk and accelerating time-to-market. Over the years we have delivered over 400 product releases and applications to leading US product developers and Fortune 1000 enterprises.

According to Canekeratne the company hires outstanding technology professionals that represent the top 5% of global talent, people with a rare blend of technology expertise, domain knowledge and leadership skills. ‘All our hiring is to a global bar that represents engineering excellence. We receive on average over 3000 applications a quarter. We apply a stringent screening process and select less than 5% of all applicants. Our project teams provide unparalleled value to our customers. These teams have a high degree of experience from a project standpoint, a certain level of experience from a technology standpoint and then a certain level of experience either from a domain or particular vertical standpoint. So we look for all that - it’s not just about having technical skills anymore, it’s about having a blend of skills that combine to stretch the contours of technology for our customers.’

In Colombo where the company started its first global development centre over 6 years ago, eRUNWAY is hiring the top local talent and has the unique reputation of being the preeminent technology innovation services company. Technology professionals join eRUNWAY to gain first hand exposure to emerging and next generation technologies innovate at the edge of the technology spectrum and work in unison with engineering teams from leading product developers and thought leaders. Based on a high degree of collaboration between customers and global teams, engineers spend a percentage of their time on-site with customers, which provides eRUNWAY engineers exposure to its customers and vice-versa.
