“Winning isn’t everything, it is the only thing” – Vince Lombardi
Dear All,
It is with great pride and exuberance that I announce the entry to MapleCode into its 2nd year of operation in 2010. I take this opportunity on behalf of the MapleCode team to place on record our deepest appreciation to all our clients, business partners and well-wishers for their continued support and custom since our inception till this period.
At this time, we remember our beginnings and contributions of the initial team-cluster and all the subsequent members who created value addition and growth to the brand and organization as we moved on in 2009-early 2010. 2009 was marked as a recessionary year with no clear focus into the future of business for the year, to say the least. But, just as the global business community was optimistic, MapleCode too decided to strategise its focus and growth plans aiming into the future. This helped us secure significant wins in India and abroad with key clients and ensure success in-line with our vision. We continue to believe that we are young and have many more milestones in cross and achieve.
Few of our key brand strategies included adoption of the Blue Ocean Strategy, Competitive Positioning Methods, Key Account Management Methodology among others assisted our growth forecast and decisions before venturing and commissioning any assignment or project. Our “Customer First” and “Doing things Differently and Away from Competition” approach, helped us see joint successes for MapleCode, the organisation team, our clients and customers.
We opened our first branch in Hyderabad in July 2009 and soon to follow are centres in Chennai, Pune and Mumbai. We also look forward to set up centres and partner offices in the United States, Australia and the UAE shortly.
MapleCode commenced business with the following Business Lines and offerings. Our latest addition include the Recruitment Process Outsourcing vertical operating out of our facility in Bangalore:
(a) Talent Acquisition & Delivery Group
(b) IT Advisory Services
(c) Marketing & Branding Solutions
(d) Learning Solutions
(e) Recruitment Process Outsourcing
Talent Acquisition and Delivery Group
MapleCode’s Talent Acquisition & Delivery Group or TAG as it has become to be known constitutes one of the largest divisions within the Company. The group achieved quick successes on account of new strategies, methods of riding above competition and having a strong client-based team focus. Dedicated account management system along with clear client management principles and quick turnaround to address client needs helped this division grow in 2009. Along with the business, we were successful in hiring talent from cross-functional experience, competition and large corporations that brought value to the entire business model at TAG. At present, we focus this business successfully across India, the United States, Middle East and South East Asian markets. Our clientele in this space includes Fortune 500 companies, Large Information Technology, Engineering, Process, Infrastructure, Consumer Services & Financial Services companies.
MapleCode Executive Search
A noteworthy and distinct ability of MapleCode is to identify leaders and senior executives and as a boutique Search Firm, we believe that we are well positioned to understand the latest trends in the labour market . We believe that the right leader is important for any organization and we adhere to this philosophy before we commence any Search assignment. We ensure to hand-pick the right candidates to present before our clientele.
MapleCode has successfully placed senior leaders in various functions across the globe under various Search assignments that the Executive Search Division was retained for.
IT Advisory Services
IT Advisory Services (ITAS) at MapleCode had an early beginning almost immediately after the Company’s inception in April 2009 with winning a deal for an global electronics conglomerate specifically for its Middle East market. We were retained to ‘IT enable’ the launch of their new product line across the Middle East. The project was delivered successfully that led the ITAS as a team that could take on large assignments and deliver keeping in mind all aspects of Project Management, Control and Delivery. Considering the in-house talent, there was no doubt that the website of MapleCode should also be developed in-house (www.maplecode.com) and subsequently, the TAG function at MapleCode retained the IT division to build an in-house Applicant Tracking System and also to create an IT-based environment within the Company. The functional, consulting and technical expertise of this team has led it to successfully consult, develop and deliver projects in India, Australia and the Middle East for Marketing, Financial Services and other businesses. A portfolio of offerings and delivered assignments are available on request.
Learning Solutions Services
MapleCode’s Learning Solutions Services (LSS) is responsible for imparting training and learning programs to organizations as well as education institutions. The LSS division has trained various teams to enable them to improve and be successful in individual and organizational growth. The focus in 2010-11 is specifically set aside to train and develop young professionals completing their Engineering, Management & Other technical professional education and enable them to ‘be ready’ in the ever competitive environment around them. MapleCode’s training fraternity has extensive experience and training has always been extended to the internal team at MapleCode as well to learn, perform and grow. Training continues to be our motto and key to team performance and thereby provide employee members the opportunity to grow professionally.
Marketing and Branding Solutions
MapleCode continues to be consulted for various solutions to help organizations and individuals brand, develop and commission programs that enable the latter to promote their services and product lines. Apart from professional assistance, MapleCode also consults firms, its partners and individuals on branding programs across geographies.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing
MapleCode’s Recruitment Processing Outsourcing (RPO) arm is one of the newest addition in the brand’s business. Originally a sub-set of the TAG function, the RPO division is aligned to key customers, to deliver recruitment solutions quickly and efficiently. We have dedicated Recruitment teams that include recruitment specialists, market research analysts and delivery specialists that work closely with key customer contacts for their immediate recruitment needs.
