FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- August 31, 2009
Instant Technology Recognized for Two Consecutive Years on Inc. 5000
Staffing Firm Placed on Exclusive List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies
CHICAGO, IL, August 31, 2009 -- Inc. Magazine released its third annual Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies, placing Instant Technology at number 2790. The list represents a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2005 through 2008.
“Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate,” said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan. “That’s why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year.”
Headquartered in Chicago, IL with offices in Washington, DC, Instant Technology is a staffing firm specializing in the placement of technical candidates across the United States on a contract, contract-to-hire, and permanent basis. Led by its management team with over 25 years in the industry, Instant Technology prides itself on building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and candidates alike, ensuring a technical and cultural match with every placement. This marks the second year that the firm made Inc. Magazine’s prestigious list. The firm was also ranked in the Top 100 of the Human Resources category.
“We are very proud to have made Inc. Magazine’s 5000 list for two consecutive years,” stated Rona Borre, President and CEO of Instant Technology. “Amidst the current economy and growing unemployment rate, we are pleased to have maintained an increasing revenue as a staffing agency. We hope that a continued focus on fostering business relationships, empowering internal employees to achieve their professional goals, and a commitment to honesty in business will allow us to be a part of this unique arena for years to come.”
The 2009 Inc. 5000 serves as a unique report card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $214 billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a median three-year growth rate of 126 percent. The Inc. 5000 are responsible for creating more than 1 million jobs since their founding, making the list perhaps the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy.
