The team at Arbor Metrix is hiring people as fast as the healthcare software startup can find the right folks.
The Ann Arbor-based firm has hired 17 people over the last year. Those new hires in sales, development, and on the executive team have expanded the staff to 42 people. The company is also looking to hire a handful of software developers right now.
"It's not for a lack of trying," says Brett Furst, CEO of
ArborMetrix. "We're trying to find the talent. We're looking for people in every facet of the business."
The 3-year-old company's software platform provides real-time clinical performance analytics tools for hospitals. The technology helps healthcare providers improve the quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of surgical and other specialty care.
Sales of the platform are up 110 percent over the last year. ArborMetrix has also more than doubled the number of its customers from 18 to 41, while tripling the number of clinical users. The number of hospitals its services with its platform is now north of 300.
"We also made some investments in the product," Furst says. "The newly released surgical metrix tool is getting a lot of attention."
Furst is optimistic ArborMetrix will continue this growth streak into 2015 if not surpass it. Rigt now he is looking to double revenue again by forming some strategic partnerships and expanding the company’s staff to 60-plus employees.
"We're sustaining that momentum," Furst says. "I expect we will outpace our 2014 performance."
