FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iHire today announces its first-ever inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. iHire has been honored for a remarkable a three-year revenue growth of 48% between 2017 and 2020.

"We've been eyeing a spot on the Inc. 5000 for the past few years, making our ranking on the 2021 list extra special," said Steve Flook, iHire's President and CEO. "iHire's recent and ongoing growth is a direct result of our ability to adapt to new challenges – such as navigating COVID-19 with a distributed workforce – while anticipating our customers' needs with continuous updates to our platform and our services. Congratulations to the entire iHire team for helping us achieve this company milestone."

During the three-year revenue growth period analyzed by the Inc. 5000, iHire expanded its industry-specific recruitment marketing solutions for employers to include branding features, flexible advertising solutions, automated workflows, virtual outplacement services, and more. For candidates, iHire augmented its job search tools with features for exploring new career paths, a team of career advisors, support for finding remote work, and enhancements to its iMatch advanced job matching technology that brings users the most accurate, relevant opportunities.

The Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year's list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020's unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543%, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years, according to Inc.

"The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled," says Scott Omelianuk, Editor-in-chief of Inc. "Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we've lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people."

Inc. 5000 Methodology
