Company Growth
The current expansion in staff and space is a result of their rapid 82% growth globally, over 100% growth in North America in the past year, and the addition of over 50 new “big brand” customers. With recent hires and active recruiting for several key jobs in the company, Cyara’s staff is expected to grow by 60% this year.
With the growth, Cyara has outgrown their current office space in Melbourne, Australia, in just one year, and it was three times the size of their previous site. They will soon move to another location in Melbourne that will double their space. The HR position will be based in Redwood City, CA, where the company has recently acquired office space that will be Cyara’s first permanent home in the Bay area.
