The UV50 is Utah Valley BusinessQ magazine's annual ranking of the valley's fastest-growing companies. It has documented Utah Valley's economy since 2008. This year's class adds 51 honorees: 30 Fastest-Growing Companies, 10 Economic Engines, 10 Startups to Watch, and Clyde Companies as the Lifetime Achievement winner for 100 years in business.
This year's theme was "evergreen," recognizing companies built to last through changing markets. The theme aligns with one of Hire Bloom's core values: play the long game.
Among Utah Valley's fastest-growing companies
This year's Fastest-Growing Companies span 3PL fulfillment, software, healthcare technology, consumer goods, food and home services. Hire Bloom is honored to be recognized alongside them.
Several honorees serve home services, the industry where most Hire Bloom team members work, including Baton (No. 9), Five Star Franchising (No. 22) and Greenix Pest Control (No. 30).
In our UV50 spotlight, we named our hardest decision: choosing to bootstrap Hire Bloom rather than seek outside funding.
That choice made each decision carry more weight. It has also allowed us to keep full control of our mission: connecting educated talent in emerging markets with work that pays a career wage.
"The ambitious results we seek are more than numbers and dollar signs; they are lives improved by our hours of work."
More than 8,000 jobs have been staffed through Hire Bloom across 63 countries and six continents. Our first placement more than doubled that person's income, and today 70% of our team members are still with their team a year later.
Asked how companies can stay evergreen, we pointed to Clayton Christensen's How Will You Measure Your Life? Hire Bloom was built around a long-term goal, not a quick exit.
