SherWeb

Have you ever gone to work one morning to find a stranger sitting at your desk? “This is Boris Hadijian, our new tech-master whiz. I had no choice but to give him your desk. The HR department moved your things over there… didn’t you get the memo?” I get this all the time. I always forget the memo.

Or have you ever entered your office at night to pick up some stuff and found a sympathetic old handyman taking down a wall to create more office space, very eager to introduce himself? “I’ve been working for your boss’s family for over twenty years now, they’re great people, and they pay well.” Lovely.

Or have you ever considered, as an intern, dropping school to stay with a company that’s growing so fast that you fear you might miss the opportunity of becoming a CEO at 25 like Bill Gates, Larry Ellison or the two guys from Google?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you get the idea of how the past nine months were for me since I’ve been working at SherWeb. In one word: awesome!

Now, have you ever heard of Research in Motion, ACD Systems, Bio Ware or TUCOWS? Did you know that they were all Canadian companies that made Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50™ ranking in the past?

I’m not saying this to brag, but SherWeb has joined their ranks this year. Yes, that’s right; we’ve been recognized as the 26th Canada’s fastest growing technology companies – Fifth in Quebec! – with no less than a 937% revenue growth.

The Technology Fast 50™ Awards is a ranking of the country’s 50 fastest-growing technology companies based on percentage revenue growth over five years. To enter this preeminent technology awards program, a company must have been in business for at least five years, have revenues of at least $5 million, be headquartered in Canada, own proprietary technology, and conduct research and development activities in Canada. In short, Technology Fast 50™ companies need rapid revenue growth, technological innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.

That’s SherWeb, baby!

For the past 13 years, Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50™ Award winners have benefited from national media coverage, increased publicity, invitations to participate in different exclusive activities, unparalleled reputation in their field and raised morale among employees. Watch out America, we’re coming your way!

Hey! If you’re living in Quebec within the Sherbrooke or Montréal area, or thinking about moving there, you should definitely pay a visit to SherWeb’s career page. We’re hiring now, and mind you, there are many good positions to be filled. What do you know, next year we could make it to the top, and you could be part of that.

Looks like I’ll have to stay on the lookout for these sneaky memos again!
