Saint Augustine Beach, FL, July 12, 2016 --(PR.com)-- BrightMove Recruiting Software Among Second-Stage Businesses Competing to Earn Prestigious Honor
BrightMove was among the first round of 2016 Florida Companies to Watch finalists recently announced by GrowFL. The awards event - now in its sixth year - honors 50 select second-stage companies from throughout the state for developing valuable products and services, creating quality jobs, enriching communities, and broadening new industries throughout Florida. Chosen from a candidate pool of more than 124 growing second-stage businesses, the finalists collectively represent $598 million in annual revenue and employ 3,028 full-time equivalent employees.
David Webb, President and CEO, and also a Florida native, noted, "It's great to be recognized. Recognized not only for having success in business, but also for contributing to the recruiting and staffing industry with technology and innovation."
The Florida Companies To Watch program consists of two rounds of selections. Finalists now advance to the second round, where they will be further evaluated based on their performance in the marketplace, innovative products, services or processes, philanthropy and empowered employees.
“We applaud these first round finalists who have shown how they stand out in their regions as innovative business leaders, going to the next level to grow their companies. They are true rock stars,” says Dr. Tom O’Neal, GrowFL Executive Director.
The Finalists represent a unique group of scalable, high-growth enterprises that are already located within Florida. These high growth enterprises are an important segment of our economy and their numbers have been steadily increasing, which contributed to Florida’s ranking of 24 on the Kauffman Index of Growth Entrepreneurship. According to this report, “entrepreneurship is not a monolithic phenomenon, and it includes many moving parts. Creating new businesses is a different economic activity from running small businesses, which in turn is different from growing businesses.” Florida Companies to Watch recognizes the different approach needed to successfully grow and scale a business, and celebrates those that are working to achieve this goal.
Developed by the Edward Lowe Foundation, Florida Companies To Watch is a distinguished awards program specifically designed to seek out second-stage businesses from a wide range of industries representing all areas of the state, not just those in major metropolitan areas. In addition to evaluating past growth and projected success, applicant companies are judged according to their special strengths and impact in their markets, communities and within the state – thus deeming them “worth watching.”
The winners will be announced in MID August. The 2016 honorees will be celebrated at the awards ceremony November 3rd at the Hard Rock Live at Universal Resort.
