Chapin, S.C., Sept. 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- General Information Services, Inc. (GIS), a leading provider of background screening and talent acquisition platforms, has been awarded a spot on the Inc. 5000 as one of America’s fastest growing private companies for the second year in a row.
The Inc. 5000 is an exclusive listing of the fastest growing private companies in America published by Inc. Magazine. In order to be awarded a spot on the fifth annual Inc. 5000, companies must have been founded and generating revenue since June 2007 and must have experienced significant growth between 2007 and 2010 - through the recession that began late in 2007.
"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500|5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is," Says Inc. Magazine Editor Jane Berentson.
Said Ray Conrad, owner and CEO of GIS, "The continued growth of GIS is a direct result of our commitment to customer service. The GIS team continues to innovate, developing new products and solutions that help increase our customers’ success."
In the past year alone, GIS has begun providing new valuable regulatory research solutions to clients and has grown their Pangea Talent Acquisition Suite. Though previously an optimal talent acquisition solution for high volume hourly hiring, Pangea has added functionality to help clients hire for salaried positions as well, providing clients with a one-stop-shop for their hiring needs.
More importantly, these innovations have not lost their value over the years. As one of the first background screening companies in the U.S., GIS is well-known for being one of the first to provide a secure online portal for the ordering and retrieval of background reports. They are also recognized for having KwikScreen (the largest national criminal database in the industry) and for using KwikScreen to help clients ensure that the people they hire remain free of adverse findings.
