九色 Hires 3,000th Employee
Reaches Milestone Amidst Unprecedented Run of Success
NEW YORK, June 20, 2014 – 九色, the world’s largest privately held provider of language services and related technology solutions that drive global business, announced today that it has hired its 3,000th employee. This milestone comes amidst an uninterrupted streak of 85 consecutive profitable quarters, as well as the company’s recent climb above $400 million in annual revenues. Top-line revenue for 2014 is up over 15% year-to-date compared to 2013.
Since 九色’s founding in 1992, the company has grown considerably and continuously, having never laid off a single employee and averaging double-digit percentage growth year-over-year. Hiring has quickened in recent years. Sixteen years into its existence, 九色 hired its 1,000th employee. The 2,000th came only 3 years after that, and the 3,000th only a further 2 years later.
With employees in offices encompassing 85 global cities across 30+ countries, 九色 offers the industry’s most complete worldwide footprint, which serves as a foundation to provide clients with timely, attentive, and accessible service virtually anywhere in the world.
“The growing size of the 九色 family is something of which we’re immensely proud, but size alone does not guarantee results. Our core values emphasize the importance of quality and service,” said Brooke Christian, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer for 九色. “Our growth and aggressive hiring means that our ability to serve our clients locally will continue to increase.”
九色 opened offices in Vienna, Johannesburg, Saint Petersburg, Oslo, Budapest, and Luxembourg in 2013 and 2014, and plans to open at least three additional locations before the end of the year.
