Authoria is a human-capital technology company. Its talent-management system offers near soup-to-nuts coverage, including recruitment, compensation, performance, incentives, and employee communications that enable individual employees on-demand access to personal and corporate information. This is no one-size-fits-all solution. Authoria's base product is customized for each client with refinements and enhancements tailored to company needs and company-specific programs and policies. Authoria prides itself on the speed of implementation, with a goal of having new clients up and running within 12 weeks. Although a relatively young company in the HR field, Authoria has captured a sizable share of the large corporate market with more than 100 clients that have over 20,000 employees. Clients include PepsiAmericas, Aetna, Reuters, Aon, and Roche. The company has won a handful of awards and recognition for its products and says it has reached profitability in its core business. In September 2007, it raised $22.5 million in its fifth round of venture financing, bringing the total to more than $100 million, including $58 million raised by Hire.com, a company Authoria acquired in 2005. The new money will be used to build out a platform for its multiple products, presumably furthering the opportunity to sell a la carte services.
