Company named for second consecutive year on the list of America’s fastest-growing private companies with three-year sales growth of 348 percent
TRU Staffing Partners, an award-winning search firm representing talent and opportunities in e-discovery and cybersecurity, today announces Inc. magazine ranked the company 1,189 on its 36th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received this honor – with a placement of 1,043 on last year’s list.
To add to the honor of being on the 36th annual list, of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, TRU is one of only a fraction that have made the list more than once. Only one in three companies have made the list two times, and even fewer in consecutive years.
The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the U.S. economy’s most dynamic segment – its independent small and midsized businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many other well-known brands gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
“Being named in the 36th Annual Inc. 5000 for two consecutive years validates that our vision of providing contract e-discovery staffing augmentation coupled with our pivot toward additionally servicing the cybersecurity community in talent and job opportunity representation has been a fruitful and successful strategy,” states Jared Coseglia, owner and founder of TRU Staffing Partners. “These pivots in our core competences have not only allowed TRU to grow, but, more importantly, given our clients and candidates the agency and human capital support to allow them to successfully grow their businesses and careers. We owe our success holistically to the people and companies we represent and hope everyone we have or will do business with in the future can share and celebrate the unique and rewarding experience of having TRU Staffing Partners as their trusted source for talent.”
The 2017 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 16), is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
“The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” says Inc. president and editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held October 10-12, 2017, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, California. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as former Ford president Alan Mulally; FUBU CEO, founder and “Shark Tank” star Daymond John; Dollar Shave Club founder Michael Dubin; researcher and #1 New York Times bestseller Brené Brown; and Gravity Payments’ founder and CEO Dan Price. TRU executives Annette Habib (vice president of recruitment), Drew Brody (CFO/COO) and Jared Michael Coseglia (CEO and founder) will be in attendance.

As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
