NEW YORK, August 17, 2022 – Inc. revealed that SeekOut, the leading Enterprise Talent Optimization Platform, is No. 236 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft and Patagonia, are just a few leading brands to have gained their first national exposure through the Inc. 5000 list. 

“I am delighted SeekOut is being recognized by Inc.,” said Anoop Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder of SeekOut. “The opportunity and challenge for us has been to be among the fastest growing and yet maintain a culture of gratitude, empathy, curiosity, diversity, kindness, and collaboration. We believe this culture is the foundation for our success and growth. At SeekOut, we say nice people and organizations can finish first. This ranking is great confirmation that our kindness is not taking away from our ability to compete and succeed."
