Content Guru, the Bracknell-based technology firm awarded Thames Valley Tech Company of the Year at The Business Magazine’s Thames Valley Tech Awards, has reiterated its commitment to graduate recruitment.

In 2022, this commitment has seen the business hire 76 graduates so far alongside more experienced professionals as it continues to scale. In the same period, the company’s global workforce has grown by 20 per cent.

This brings company’s number of employees past a record 400, with further growth expected across all of its offices in the next year.

Martin Taylor, Deputy CEO and Co-Founder of Content Guru, said: “Graduates play a key role at Content Guru and hiring the best up-and-coming talent will remain an essential part of our mix as we continue our expansion.

“Career progression is highly valued at Content Guru and our graduate scheme provides dynamic, enthusiastic and agile graduates with an entry path into a full range of technology roles.

“It is an exciting time to work within the Customer Experience industry and at Content Guru we are at the forefront of CX new technology, with standout applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

“We welcome applications from hard-working, ambitious graduates keen to learn their trade in a fast-growing business that is committed to supporting all colleagues throughout their careers.”

Last year, the company recorded a 30 per cent increase in revenue, which it says is fuelled by demand for its cloud-based Customer Experience (CX) and Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) solutions, delivered through its storm® platform.

This demand is translating into adoption by a growing range of businesses across finance and insurance, as well as in the public sector where utilities, healthcare and police forces are leveraging storm to transform the way they communicate with the public.

Natalie Snow, Talent Partner at Content Guru, said: “We are thrilled to have been able to reintroduce our in-person graduate assessment days in 2022 after sadly not being able to hold face-to-face sessions during the pandemic.

“Content Guru is committed is to hiring and developing the next generation of technology graduates and we have been excited to welcome new candidates through our doors. I’m proud to be part of the team driving our global hiring programme, in an organisation with a passion for developing high-quality careers.

“Many of our managers, heads of department and directors joined Content Guru at graduate level and are now great leaders and mentors to the fresh emerging talent that is swelling our ranks.”
