Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA - August 13, 2025 - Inc. Magazine today announced that Engage PEO, a leading professional employer organization (PEO) providing HR outsourcing solutions to small and mid-sized businesses across the U.S., has once again been named as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the nation. The annual Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, representing a unique look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment - independent small businesses.
"Our growth is a direct result of staying focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional solutions through a truly differentiated offering, fostering strong relationships and supporting the evolving needs of our clients," said Jay Starkman, founder and CEO of Engage PEO. "Through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, we're partnering with organizations that share our values and help us deliver even greater impact to the businesses we serve."
Engage's expansion is fueled by a combination of organic growth, driven by its rapidly growing sales force and targeted acquisitions. This approach has extended the company's national footprint and solidified Engage's position as a leading service provider in the PEO industry.
Methodology
Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2024. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2021 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $2 million.
