ATLANTA (August 3, 2020) – Rural Sourcing was named one of the top 100 fastest-growing companies in metro Atlanta by the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Pacesetter list. Headquartered in Atlanta, Rural Sourcing operates six development centers across the U.S., where teams create innovative software solutions for some of the country’s largest companies. Rural Sourcing was number 22 on the prestigious list.
The annual Pacesetter list analyzes sales data to determine growth over a two-year period. During that time, Rural Sourcing has increased its commitment to creating technology jobs in Middle America.
“Rural Sourcing has seen a tremendous amount of growth over the past few years,” said Monty Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing. “Our success stems from our software development model and our people. We have been able to hire some of the best technology talent in the country, allowing them to work close to home instead of being forced to move to traditional tech hubs in search of a career. With a focus on delivering results for clients, we will continue to grow and offer career opportunities in technology for Middle America.”
With a proven, U.S.-based model, Rural Sourcing delivers with speed and efficiency, while delivering the quality and responsiveness that are needed in today’s fast paced digital world. Last year, Bain Capital Double Impact, the impact investing business of Bain Capital, acquired a majority stake in Rural Sourcing allowing the company to further scale its national footprint and digital service offerings while creating high-quality jobs and new technology corridors across the country.
For the Pacesetter list, companies are ranked by a growth index formula that evens the playing field for businesses of various sizes. The revenue and employee growth indexes are the percent change from 2017 through 2019, multiplied by the absolute change for the same years.
