About Jobing.com: Press Room

PHOENIX, AZ – Jobing.com, the nation’s largest, locally-focused online recruitment media provider, announced today that it has been named to the 2007 Inc. Magazine list of the country's fastest-growing private companies; Jobing.com is one of only 14 companies to make the annual list for the third consecutive year.  A three-year revenue growth rate of 645% placed Jobing.com as number 449 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000™ list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.  The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy. 

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.  “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies that are underreported in the business media.”

"We are honored to once again be recognized as an Inc. 500 fastest-growing company," said Aaron Matos, Jobing.com founder and chief executive officer. "Jobing.com was founded on the belief that recruiting great people is the driving force behind the success of every business and retaining great talent is the key to that success. Since our inception, we have been singularly focused on connecting local employers and job seekers. Our growth across our markets is the result of the dedication and commitment of the entire Jobing.com team. We are very proud of our accomplishments, but we have only scratched the surface of our potential." 

Jobing.com began in 2000 when Matos, who was the Corporate Director of Human Resources for a regional publishing and media company in Arizona, began to realize there was a phenomenal opportunity to leverage the power of the Internet to connect employers and job seekers, focusing solely on the local marketplace.  Jobing.com was launched as a Phoenix site and enjoyed swift success.  Through a number of strategic acquisitions and new market start-ups, Matos’ Internet job board evolved into an online community that provides the forum, resources, and technology to connect organizations and job seekers in 18 metropolitan communities.  Known for its innovative approach to recruiting solutions and bold marketing strategies, Jobing.com has grown to be the nation’s largest, locally-focused employment site. 

The 2007 Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 140 percent.  Complete information on this year’s Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.  The list features a profile for each company, almost all of them written as a result of Inc. interviews with management. In addition, the list is searchable according to numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region, and year founded.
