Ziarul Financiar, 2017: existing clients, recommendations and well-trained engineers

Tremend’s plan for 2017, April 2017: revenue up by about 40%, close to 5 million euros. Between 2012 and 2015 its revenue grew almost fivefold, which took it into the Financial Times ranking of Europe’s most dynamic companies. Quoted: me, then co-founder and managing partner of Tremend, on where that growth came from. Readable part: headline and opening. Topics: two directions of growth, very well trained engineers from the recruitment stage.

§Two directions of growth

“In 2012-2015 there were two main directions of development, both supported by the technical skills of my colleagues. The first is expanding existing operations to the clients we already work with, the second being the start of work with a number of new clients who chose to work with us thanks to the recommendations they received.” („În perioada 2012-2015 au existat două direcţii principale de dezvoltare, ambele susţinute de aptitudinile tehnice ale colegilor mei. Prima e reprezentată de extinderea operaţiunilor existente către clienţii cu care lucrăm deja, a doua fiind începerea colaborării cu o serie de clienţi noi care au ales să lucreze cu noi datorită recomandărilor primite.”)

§Well-trained engineers, from the recruitment stage

“The focus, from the recruitment stage, on very well trained engineers was one of the main factors in this growth.” („Accentul încă din faza de recrutare pe ingineri foarte bine pregătiţi a fost unul din factorii principali pentru această creştere”)

Tremend: founded 12 years earlier by Ioan Cocan and me, to solve problems in various industries for which there were no simple, turnkey solutions. Clients: car makers, top telecom operators, financial institutions, healthcare providers, distributors and manufacturers.

Elsewhere. Business Magazin, 2017: “Management is very involved in the recruitment process; personally, I aim to be in as many final interviews as possible, including with more junior prospective colleagues.” („Managementul este foarte implicat în procesul de recrutare; personal îmi propun să ajung în cât mai multe interviuri finale, inclusiv cu potenţialii colegi mai juniori.”)
