1 These 15 companies plan to add more than 650 jobs by the end of 2014 July 21, 2014 Crain's asked companies that have been staffing up consistently over the past three years to tell us what they did right and how they plan to keep the momentum going. We've also noted which companies are continuing to hire, and, to save you time, included links where you can apply. For our methodology, click here. Happy hunting! 1 Clayco Inc. 35 E. Wacker Drive, Suite 1300, Chicago ; ClayCorp.com What it does: Construction services 2013 full-time local employees: 325 Staff growth since 2010: 1,200% Hires expected in 2014: 30 For hiring information: claycorp.com/our-people/join-our-team/ 2013 revenue (range): $750 million to $1 billion How it grew: See the profile 2 Codifyd Inc. 800 W. Huron St., Suite 200, Chicago ; Codifyd.com What it does: Technology services 2013 full-time local employees: 93 Staff growth since 2010: 933% Hires expected in 2014: 20 For hiring information: codifyd.com/about/careers/ 2013 revenue (range): $2 million to $25 million How it grew: In 2009, the company shifted its focus from document conversion services

2 to data management. That pivot required a hiring surge across the board, from data architects to analysts to consultants to executive management. HR Director Joanna Niezgoda says that nearly 20 new hires were made to help create an R&D team. Meanwhile, a newly announced chief culture officer plans staff events, lunch-and-learns and "everything that can keep our folks informed and educated but also add fun." 3 Pangea Properties 640 N. LaSalle St., Chicago ; PangeaRE.com What it does: Owns and operates multi-unit apartment buildings 2013 full-time local employees: 300 Staff growth since 2010: 782% Hires expected in 2014: 54 For hiring information: pangeare.com/careers 2013 revenue (range): $50 million to $75 million How it grew: During the crash, this company seized an opportunity to buy distressed apartment buildings in lower-income neighborhoods and turn them into viable, affordable rentals. Pangea since has launched and hired for its own construction and lending units, and even built a software program that helps renters through the leasing process. 4 GoHealth LLC 214 W. Huron St., Chicago ; GoHealthInsurance.com What it does: Software and services for the health care industry 2013 full-time local employees: 672 Staff growth since 2010: 740% Hires expected in 2014: Not disclosed For hiring information: gohealthinsurance.com/careers/ 2013 revenue (range): $75 million to $100 million How it grew: See the profile; meet their recent hires 5 Sprout Social Inc. 131 S. Dearborn St., Suite 1000, Chicago ; SproutSocial.com What it does: Social media management software 2013 full-time local employees: 88 Staff growth since 2010: 700% Hires expected in 2014: 65 For hiring information: sproutsocial.com/careers

3 2013 revenue (range): Not disclosed How it grew: See the profile 6 Braintree 111 N. Canal St., Suite 455, Chicago ; BraintreePayments.com What it does: E-commerce payment processing system 2013 full-time local employees: 140 Staff growth since 2010: 600% Hires expected in 2014: Not disclosed For hiring information: braintreepayments.com/careers 2013 revenue (range): $2 million to $25 million * How it grew: After receiving a $34 million venture-capital investment in 2011, Braintree quickly invested in its sales and tech workforce. Since the online payment-processing company was bought by ebay Inc. in 2013 for $800 million, it has continued to grow in Chicago. Later this year, ebay will move the company into larger digs in the Merchandise Mart. The company plans to add more than 500 jobs over the next three years. 7 SMS Assist LLC 875 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 2800, Chicago ; SMSAssist.com What it does: Outsourced building maintenance services 2013 full-time local employees: 212 Staff growth since 2010: 371% Hires expected in 2014: 65 For hiring information: smsassist.com/careers.htm 2013 revenue (range): Not disclosed How it grew: SMS Assist allows companies to outsource facilities maintenance, from exterior upkeep to interior repairs, safety trainings and more. To do so, it relies on its network of some 28,000 subcontractors across the country whom it manages from its Chicago office. The biggest area of personnel growth has been project managers to manage those subcontractors, which they do using a proprietary technology platform. Mike Rothman, chairman and CEO, says it takes a high-energy, flexible person with great communication skills to interact with both property managers and subcontractors. "We also hire analysts because we're a big data company," Mr. Rothman adds.

4 8 Lyons Consulting Group LLC 20 N. Wacker Drive, Suite 1750, Chicago ; LyonsCG.com What it does: Digital marketing, e-commerce and strategy consulting 2013 fulltime local employees: 55 Staff growth since 2010: 358% Hires expected in 2014: 30 For hiring information: lyonscg.silkroad.com/epostings/ 2013 revenue (range): $2 million to $25 million How it grew: Lyons Consulting Group has grown largely on referrals alone, says Norman Alesi, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. Part of that is due to the rapid expansion of the e- commerce market itself, but the agency has differentiated itself by prioritizing customer relationships and continually adding new services. In addition to new departments, the company continues to add employees to all of its practice areas and has been building out its internal infrastructure since passing the 200- employee threshold globally. 9 Brad's Deals 640 N. LaSalle St., Suite 556, Chicago ; BradsDeals.com What it does: Online coupons 2013 full-time local employees: 50 Staff growth since 2010: 355% Hires expected in 2014: 20 For hiring information: n/a 2013 revenue (range): $2 million to $25 million How it grew: This couponing site blossomed during the economic downturn as consumers recognized they needed to be smarter about spending their dollars. Yet CEO Brad Wilson believes the shift away from conspicuous consumption is a return to normal, not a fluke. "We've added more people and resources to expand in tandem with growth of our site traffic," he says. To find new employees, Brad's Deals works with tech organizations such as Dev Bootcamp Chicago and Startup Institute Chicago. 10 Solstice Mobile 111 N. Canal St., Suite 500, Chicago ; Solstice-Mobile.com

5 What it does: Mobile software and app development 2013 full-time local employees: 142 Staff growth since 2010: 330% Hires expected in 2014: 60 For hiring information: solstice-mobile.com/work-with-us 2013 revenue (range): $2 million to $25 million How it grew: Around 2008, this app development company shifted from a multiple-platform focus to be mobile-specific. "With that pivot, we started staffing up with full-time employees," explains Dan Kardatzke, chief financial officer. The company recently moved to a 30,000-plus-square-foot headquarters in a techsaturated building on Canal Street. 11 Cortland Capital Market Services LLC 225 W. Washington St., 21st floor, Chicago ; CortlandGlobal.com What it does: Investment services 2013 full-time local employees: 81 Staff growth since 2010: 326% Hires expected in 2014: 75 For hiring information: cortlandglobal.com/careers.aspx 2013 revenue (range): Not disclosed How it grew: This six-year-old investment services firm attributes its personnel growth to one critical factor: clients. As Cortland has added clients with increasingly complex needs, it has hired more specialists in accounting and advanced analytics. The Loop firm had just over 80 employees at the close of 2013 but plans to nearly double that number by year-end. 12 GrubHub Inc. 111 W. Washington St., Suite 2100, Chicago ; GrubHub.com What it does: Online food ordering services 2013 full-time local employees: 375 Staff growth since 2010: 275% Hires expected in 2014: Not disclosed For hiring information: grubhub.com/careers/ 2013 revenue (range): $50 million to $75 million

6 How it grew: According to Chief Financial Officer Adam DeWitt, paper takeout menus and phone orders still represent about 95 percent of the carryout dining world and that's a large slice of market share GrubHub is poised to gobble up in the coming years. Though the company won't share 2014 hiring projections, it merged with rival Seamless a year ago and has added local jobs across all areas of the brand since Because it's both a business-to-business and businessto-consumer company, GrubHub has zeroed in on ways to best serve its array of clients. For example, a technical support team was created to work with the company's in-restaurant tablet software after the technology was rolled out in Corporate Executive Board Co. 550 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 1200, Chicago ; ExecutiveBoard.com What it does: Member-based advisory services 2013 full-time local employees: 341 Staff growth since 2010: 275% Hires expected in 2014: 55 For hiring information: executiveboard.com/exbd/careers 2013 revenue (range): $750 million to $1 billion How it grew: With offerings ranging from corporate best practices and decision support to talent management analytics, the advisory firm serves 10,000 companies globally. Growing its presence in Chicago, the company says, is key to cultivating relationships in the region and serving clients worldwide. "CEB's significant headcount growth has come in response to organic sales growth as well as two strategic acquisitions," the company says. It acquired Rolling Meadows-based Valtera in 2012 and Chicago-based KnowledgeAdvisors in 2014 to expand its talent management products and services (additional headcount from the 2014 acquisition is not reflected in this report). 14 Textura Corp Lake Cook Road, Deerfield ; TexturaCorp.com What it does: Virtual collaboration and productivity tools for the construction

7 industry 2013 full-time local employees: 223 Staff growth since 2010: 248% Hires expected in 2014: 108 For hiring information: texturacorp.com/careers-textura/working-at-textura.php 2013 revenue (range): $50 million to $75 million How it grew: As a developer of productivity software for the construction industry, Textura has grown by building out services that support clients and their construction projects from beginning to end. Chairman and CEO Patrick Allin says, "We have great solutions, but client services are how we differentiate ourselves.... Another key to our success is our technology and our unique platform strategy. Development of this platform requires enhancing the integration of our existing solutions and development of new ones. So we need technology talent across all IT functions development, quality assurance, engineering, analysis." 15 kcura Corp. 231 S. LaSalle St., Chicago ; kcura.com What it does: Developer of legal software full-time local employees: 336 Staff growth since 2010: 226% Hires expected in 2014: 90 For hiring information: kcura.com/join-the-team/our-culture 2013 revenue (range): Not disclosed How it grew: In addition to fleshing out the senior leadership team in human resources and sales, kcura has hired software architects who specialize in big data and data security so that the firm can continue improving its product. What's more, the company now has an account manager who fosters relationships with colleges and universities that use kcura's software in the classroom. Want to do more with the data?
