Cura™ Software Solutions
The Client
Cura™ provides software solutions designed to enable businesses around the world to quickly achieve the bottom line benefits of enterprise-wide risk management, compliance and performance management. Founded in 2001 with a global go-to-market strategy, Cura swiftly expanded its business to twenty countries and over 150 customers in just five years.
The Challenge
In 2006, Cura decided to launch a U.S. operation to gain further market share for its specialized software applications. To ensure a successful expansion, Cura needed to gain a solid understanding of the U.S. employment marketplace and identify a highly-skilled technical professional for its inaugural office in Washington, D.C. The company sought a staffing partner to help develop a recruiting strategy that would enable the company to attract experienced technical talent.
The Solution
After a comprehensive assessment of top IT staffing firms, Cura chose KoreOne to assist in their IT talent search and provide workforce planning guidance. Cura selected KoreOne because of its:
- Significant East Coast business and contacts, and broad network across the U.S.
- Keen business and IT intelligence
- Exceptional client references at well-known IT companies
- Cost-competitive pricing structure
After an in-depth analysis of Cura’s hiring requirements, KoreOne was able to source an experienced applications support engineer that Cura hired as one of its first U.S. employees. During the recruitment process, KoreOne devoted significant time and resources helping Cura determine the exact specifications for this critical role. “We were looking for an expert technical consulting firm and we found it in KoreOne,” said Julian Coulter, Cura’s vice president of business development. “They are extremely professional, very responsive and employ a rigorous approach to finding the ideal candidate.”
The Results
With KoreOne’s strategic guidance, Cura performed the due diligence necessary to ensure a seamless and successful entry into the North American market and hired the IT expert required to support its first U.S. office. In addition, KoreOne helped Cura develop a technical recruiting strategy to support its aggressive U.S. growth plan. Cura now plans to rely on KoreOne to source and qualify its IT staff as the company expands across the nation.
