Case Study: Cytora achieves 3X growth and secures niche engineering talent with Workable

Cytora scales by 3X in 2.5 years, securing top talent for niche roles with Workable

Cytora is a London-based insurance tech startup with roughly 60 employees and $41.4M in funding that grew from 20 to 60 people in 2.5 years. In a fiercely competitive engineering market their old ATS, scattered spreadsheets, one-way calendar sync and poor hiring-manager collaboration were slowing hiring and threatening their ability to scale quickly.

Adopting Workable let Cytora centralize hiring with requisition-backed Hiring Plans, source passive candidates with People Search, leverage employee Referrals, and speed scheduling via two-way calendar sync and self-scheduling. The platform’s reporting aligned hiring managers and leadership, improved candidate experience, and supported rapid scaling—contributing to 3x growth over 2.5 years.
