How Cream HR supports fast growing start-ups
Dan McGuire is the CEO of cube 19, the world's leading growth analytics platform for recruitment companies. He has been involved in growing, developing and selling technology businesses since 2002. His hectic programme and his understanding of the various phases that fast growing businesses go through drove him to seek a partnership with an HR and Employment Law support provider that he could trust and rely.
Since 2002, when Dan acquired a stake in Broadbean Technology, he's been involved in developing, growing, supporting and investing in start-up and early stage technology businesses.
He has a pretty hectic schedule and doesn't always have enough time to keep completely current with employment legislation.
When he first looked for external support for HR and employment law he was considering a web based solution. However, it soon became apparent that this type of service couldn’t provide him with the level of personal service or expertise that he needed.
He was introduced to Cream HR and immediately their support was superb. It was quickly clear that the combination of expertise, personal approach, speed of response and commercial understanding was going to work very well for Dan and cube19. Cream HR have always been available, even at unusual times, which is important because situations can arise outside of normal hours.
Rapidly expanding businesses go through lots of change and it is important to manage that change appropriately. Having the right support from a company like Cream HR is vital.
cube19 have worked through lots of changes and many challenging situations and in all cases Cream HR have ensured that goals were achieved safely, sympathetically and effectively. They have an uncanny knack of being able to deal with difficult situations with empathy.
What Dan also likes is the way in which they offered some price flexibility in the early stages when cash is tighter. It shows that they understand start-ups. Their costs increased as cube19 grew and as we could afford to pay more, which Dan finds refreshing.
As cube19 entered a period of more rapid growth, Dan turned to Cream HR to help manage that recruitment activity. The results have been fantastic as cube19 have added many fantastic new people to their incredible team.
Dan has built a close relationship with Cream HR, which has proved essential when vital advice, guidance or support is needed at short notice. He highly recommends Cream HR.
