Paradox Named to Fifth Consecutive Inc. 5000 List -- Among the Fastest Growing HR Technology Companies

Paradox, the leader in Conversational AI for recruiting, revealed today that it was named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the 5th consecutive year — achieving the honor with a 276% three-year growth rate.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Paradox, the leader in Conversational AI for recruiting, revealed today that it was named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the 5th consecutive year — achieving the honor with a 276% three-year growth rate. Helping organizations like 7-Eleven, Nestlé, and General Motors transform the hiring process by automating repetitive tasks, Paradox is one of the highest ranking HR tech companies on this year's list.

Published annually by Inc. Magazine, the Inc. 5000 recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the United States and celebrates their outstanding achievements in business development and innovation. Paradox debuted on the list in 2021 and has been named for 5 consecutive years.

"It's always an honor to be named on this list – our growth is a testament to our clients who continue to partner with us and the team we've built to deliver exceptional products that solve real hiring problems," said Paradox Chief Executive Officer Adam Godson.

Launched in 2016, Paradox's conversational software is powered by an AI assistant that acts as a concierge throughout the hiring process for candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers alike — automating time-consuming tasks like job management, offers and pre-boarding as the system of record for many frontline clients, in addition to taking on high-touch work like interview scheduling, feedback collection, and candidate communications.

Across Paradox's 1,000+ global clients, the impact of conversational AI in talent acquisition is clear. For example:

• Paradox was announced this year as one of the early partners in Workday's Agent System of Record to drive greater efficiency of how work gets done.
• Josh Bersin recently published a new case study showcasing how 7-Eleven uses Paradox's conversational AI software to schedule 85% of applicants within the hour – saving store managers 40,000 hours a week.
• HR Executive just awarded Paradox with a Top HR Product of the Year, its fourth win in six years, for its Immersive Job Preview, built to improve job role transparency and reduce 30-day turnover.

"Paradox is really the pioneer in leveraging AI in all aspects of recruiting," said Josh Bersin, Global Industry Analyst. "I've talked with dozens of Paradox's customers, and every single one has seen enormous value and ROI from the platform. The company's relentless focus on customer value and product innovation is a role model for any fast-growing company."
