"The Inc. magazine ranking is confirmation of the hard work our firm has invested over the last few years to serve our clients," said Derrick Harris, founder and owner of StandBy Talent Staffing Services.

Harris established StandBy Talent in 2009 to meet the growing demand for short and longer-term qualified, technical talent in the Atlanta area and beyond. Graduating with honors from Columbia University in New York, N.Y., Harris later went on to earn an MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School in Atlanta.

The 2013 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc., is the most competitive crop in the list's history.

They employ more than 52,100 people and generated over 44,912 jobs in the past three years.

"Not all the companies in the Inc. 500 | 5000 are in glamorous industries, but in their fields they are as famous as household name companies simply by virtue of being great at what they do." said Inc. magazine Editor Eric Schurenberg. "They are the hidden champions of job growth and innovation, the real muscle of the American economy."
