RiseSmart, the leading provider of next-generation outplacement solutions, has been named a finalist for Red Herring's 2011 Top 100 Global award, a prestigious recognition honoring the year’s most audacious and far-reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs. The Top 100 Global winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Los Angeles December 7.
RiseSmart’s cloud-based outplacement solution, Transition Concierge, has earned industry-wide praise as it has changed the way companies manage and measure their employee transition programs. Powered by proprietary job-matching software, Transition Concierge delivers highly personalized job leads as well as other job search tools to eligible employees.

"Through Transition Concierge, RiseSmart arms workers with the most powerful set of job search tools available today," Sathe said. "The result is that we are putting transitioning employees in new jobs twice as fast as the national average, while reducing costs for employers. We are grateful to Red Herring for recognizing this achievement as we continue to help put America back to work.”
Red Herring is a global media company that produces a leading innovation magazine, an online technology news service, technology newsletters, and events for technology leaders. Red Herring previously recognized RiseSmart by naming the company a 2011 Top 100 North America award winner in June.
To determine the finalists for the Top 100 Global awards, the Red Herring editorial team selected companies demonstrating the most innovative technologies and business models at more than 1,000 companies from more than 40 nations. These companies are judged on a range of metrics, including technology innovation, financial performance, growth criterion, management's execution standards, potential globalization of the strategy and market share improvement.
“Technology companies are becoming the bright spot in the economic outlook based on their increasing role within macro-economic environments,“ said Alex Vieux, chairman of Red Herring. “An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are attempting to jump ahead of the competition and aspire to make a difference. Breakthroughs obsolete each other faster than ever before. RiseSmart has performed exceptionally in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global Finalists. At this stage, we are left with the daunting task to select the best qualified companies for the 2011 Top 100 Global Award."
