iHire Lands on 2022 Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private U.S. Companies

Frederick, Maryland – Aug. 16, 2022 – iHire has been named to the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. With revenue growth of 99.3% between 2018 to 2021, iHire earned a coveted spot on the list for the second straight year.

The Inc. 5000 list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment – independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of COVID-19.

“iHire is honored to make the Inc. 5000 list two years in a row,” said Steve Flook, iHire’s President and CEO. “Nearly doubling our revenue growth despite the pandemic is a testament to our ability to innovate and iterate on our recruitment and job search solutions to stay ahead of customer needs and market changes. We look forward to what we will achieve next.”

Key milestones contributing to iHire’s ongoing revenue growth include its acquisition of WorkInSports, the launch of its HR Services & Consulting practice area, and the introduction of new solutions – such as a Job Ad Builder and candidate management and messaging tools – designed to help employers hire more efficiently. For job seekers, iHire has created features for finding remote work faster and exploring alternative career paths while continuously enhancing its on-site job search experience.

“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, Editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.”

Methodology

Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of Dec. 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places. The top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 are featured in Inc. magazine’s September issue. The entire Inc. 5000 can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
