After what feels like a lifetime of lockdowns, restrictions, and hitting pause on life, things are slowly returning to normal. And frankly, we couldn’t be happier.

But there has been a shift, and we have front row seats. The world is returning to work, and this has resulted in some pretty amazing companies setting off on hiring sprees, with growth ambitions for the next few months.
And that’s what brings us here today. We wanted to shine a bit of a spotlight on three brilliant companies that are planning some serious hiring over the coming months…

Stream
Stream (getstream.io) is an API for building, scaling and personalising feeds. Stream was founded in the Netherlands before joining the Techstars accelerator. After Techstars, Stream raised $4.75M and has offices in both Amsterdam and Boulder, Colorado. Stream powers the feeds for over 500 million end users and handles several billion feed updates per week (and growing). Our customers include small startups as well as Fortune 100 companies. According to the company, it experienced a 517 per cent increase in revenue from its chat API product in 2020, while more than doubling its chat and activity feed user base to support over one billion end users. Impressive, right?
Stream is leading the way in providing chat and feed technology as a third-party service and their rapid growth is a testament to the great value they provide their customers. All this talk of growth can only mean one thing – a hiring spree. Over the next few months, Stream will be looking to grow their team, so keep an eye out for opportunities…
Betfair Romania Development
In 2009, an enthusiastic technology team in Cluj joined the British Betfair Group, as Betfair Romania Development. Then, in early 2016, Paddy Power Betfair was formed through a merger of two of the fastest-growing online betting and gaming operators in the world. A FTSE 100 company, with operations across Europe, Australia and the US, their annual revenues have topped £1.5 billion. But they haven’t lost their bold approach, nor the desire to keep reinventing the industry. Over 900+ people. A passion for innovation. And a pace of change that creates a whirlwind of possibilities. Welcome to software development with a difference.
Betfair knows that an inclusive workplace makes for more engaged employees. This creates a stronger and better organisation for everyone. Their belief stands for the fact that talent and capability are not found in one particular demographic. As an industry leader, it is important that they continuously strive to maintain and grow a diverse and inclusive environment whilst also ensuring that we set the standards in ethical conduct and corporate responsibility.

Grant Thornton
Grant Thornton International is one of the world’s leading organizations of independent audit, tax and advisory firms. Grant Thornton has revenues of $1.92 billion and operates more than 50 offices.

And that’s a good thing. Forget what you expect from a career in professional services. At Grant Thornton, they aren’t afraid to do things differently. They care. Their bold approach, agile teams and inclusive culture gives you the opportunities and support to help you succeed – and make a career more.
