Phenom Ranked Among Inc. 5000’s Fastest-Growing Companies for Fifth Consecutive Year

NEW YORK, August 13, 2024 – Phenom earned recognition as one of Inc.’s fastest-growing private businesses in America, marking Phenom’s fifth consecutive appearance on Inc.’s prestigious list.

“Designing products with AI and GenAI should focus on solving the real challenges faced by human resources, not adding flashy features,” said Mahe Bayireddi, CEO and co-founder of Phenom. “Our obsession is creating phenomenal experiences that are contextually relevant and continuously evolving. This commitment is how we help a billion people find and keep the right work.”

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from healthcare and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

Methodology

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 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.
