How Acceler8 Talent Rebuilt Internal Communication with Superthread to Fuel 45% YoY Growth in 2025

Scaling while restructuring is a high-stakes gamble. Usually, one makes way for the other. But in 2025, Acceler8 Talent proved that with the right foundation, you can rebuild the engine while driving at 100mph.

If you want to grow in a tough market like Understanding Recruitment and Acceler8 Talent did, you have to look at your foundation. Most firms try to scale on top of broken processes, Acceler8 did the opposite. They rebuilt their internal communication using Superthread while simultaneously growing 45% year-on-year.

The Challenge: Restructuring Without Losing Momentum

Acceler8 Talent closed 2025 with massive wins, but the journey wasn't linear. They spent the year restructuring the business from the inside out.

By May, they were at around 80% of their YTD target, deep in a transition with new team structures and new ways of working. A major hurdle was integrating team members from their UK operation, Understanding Recruitment, into the Acceler8 brand. This meant experienced consultants entering new markets and embedding into existing desks, a recipe for communication chaos if you're still relying on fragmented tools.

The Turning Point: Rebuilding the 'Communication Stack'

As part of their 'Building for the Future' initiative, Acceler8 made a strategic choice to rebuild internal communication using Superthread.

In the recruitment world, speed and clarity are everything. When you are launching brand new sourcing divisions and integrating global teams, you can't afford information silos.

Why Superthread made the difference for Acceler8:

• Centralized Source of Truth: Moving away from scattered threads into a unified workspace allowed new team structures to align instantly.

• Sharpened Execution: Despite the complexity of the restructure, Acceler8’s execution sharpened rather than slipped in H2.

• Scalability for New Talent: They launched a graduate sourcing division with 10 new hires. Superthread provided the structure needed to get them up to speed in complex technical markets (ML, Backend, Systems Infrastructure) without the usual 'onboarding lag.'

The Outcomes in Context

Because they fixed the communication layer first, the results followed:

• 148 permanent placements completed ✅

• Delivery efficiency improved meaningfully in H2 ✅

• H2 delivery outperformed H1 ✅

'45% year-on-year growth didn’t come from shortcuts. It came from rebuilding properly then executing when it mattered most.' — Matthew Ferdenzi, Acceler8 Talent

Rebuilding Properly for 2026

Acceler8 Talent is now a genuinely AI-first recruitment business. They’ve invested in their own matching platform (Illumin8) and settled into a delivery-first model. But as Matthew noted, none of that execution happens without the right communication infrastructure.

At Superthread, we’re honored to be the home for Acceler8’s communication needs. We’re big believers in building properly so you can execute with 100% confidence.
