Birthday cake, anyone? 🎂 Each month, at both our Canada HQ and India offices, ApplyBoardians gather to enjoy a slice of cake and celebrate their fellow team members who turned a year older that month. It's a wonderful opportunity to take a break from work and catch up with colleagues.
Yesterday ApplyBoardians got into the holiday spirit with our BookClub’s DIY Christmas ornament-making session! 🎄 They created festive ornaments containing miniature versions of books that hold a special place in their hearts—such as their favourite books of all time or those they read in 2023. We hope that these ornaments will take pride of place in their homes during the holidays for years to come! 🤩

We're excited to announce that we've been ranked as the 10th fastest-growing company in Canada in the prestigious Enterprise Industry leaders category as part of the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ program. 🎉 This is the fifth consecutive year that ApplyBoard has ranked as one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, but it is the first year we’ve been named to the distinguished Enterprise—Industry leaders category. This leadership category recognizes the enterprise-level fastest-growing companies by revenue-growth percentage over their last four years of operation. As the 10th fastest-growing company on this list, our move up to the Enterprise—Industry leaders category reflects our continued growth as a mature tech company.
