CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Built In today announced that it ranked 244 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a list of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America.

Overall, the 500 companies on the list achieved a median revenue growth rate of 450% from 2016 to 2019. Built In's revenue grew 465% over the same period, up from its 400% growth from 2015 to 2018.

According to Built In's CEO and Co-Founder Maria Christopoulos Katris, the company's agile response to marketplace trends has been a major factor in driving the platform's growth.

"In 2020, we saw record high unemployment rates overall," says Katris, "but tech professionals specifically were less affected. More companies recognize the need to be 'digital first' in order to thrive during and after COVID. So they're still searching for professionals that can fill hard-to-hire tech roles of the future. Every month, 2.5 million tech professionals visit Built In to read about the industry, grow as professionals and discover companies they want to join. In other words, we're positioned to deliver."

Other trends initiated by COVID have caused seismic shifts. Built In quickly innovated for one of the most significant employment-related changes of 2020: Geographical boundaries are dissolving. Employees can now fill sophisticated tech roles remotely. To help customers find the most sought-after professionals no matter where they live, Built In launched a remote solution. Demand among Built In users is high: From January to October, tech professionals' openness to remote work increased 260%.

"From the start, Built In revolutionized the way companies recruited tech talent, and we're staying true to that legacy," says Katris. "In fact, our drive to innovate has kicked into an even higher gear. We're keeping our eyes trained on shifts and trends in tech employment and tech in general. And we'll work as fast as the market to leverage those trends to serve customer needs."

Adds Katris: "We're so proud to have earned this distinction with Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™ for the second consecutive year. Sharing a place on the list with so many esteemed innovators is an honor."
