iHire Named One of Frederick County’s Top 50 Innovative Businesses for 2022

Frederick, Maryland – Jan. 10, 2023 – iHire has been named one of Frederick County’s Top 50 Innovative Businesses for 2022 by the Frederick County Office of Economic Development (FCOED). The annual list spotlights companies for developing new products, adopting technology, creatively solving problems, expanding into new markets, and more in a stand-alone edition of Frederick Magazine.

Of the 113 companies that applied for the award, iHire was selected based on the following innovative, creative, and impactful initiatives:

• The iHire Internship Program: In the spring of 2022, iHire launched a paid internship program that aims to break down career barriers for entry-level software developers in the Frederick area. The only requirement for entry is passing a basic coding skills test, as the program embraces a diverse set of applicants including college students, people without degrees, and career changers.
• Step-by-step Job Ad Builder: iHire introduced an intuitive tool that allows users to create modern job postings in less than five minutes. The Job Ad Builder is ideal for small and mid-sized businesses and busy recruiters with minimal time and resources for writing a compelling job posting.
• Human Resources Services & Consulting Practice: iHire began delivering personalized HR services designed to help businesses attract and onboard talent, motivate and retain employees, simplify compliance, and streamline processes. Whether outsourcing individual HR tasks, one-time projects, or their entire HR strategies and operations, companies of all sizes can save time, strengthen their brands, and increase employee engagement by partnering with iHire’s certified consultants.
• Faster remote work search: For job seekers, iHire updated its platform to make it easier and more efficient to search for remote work. For example, candidates can now indicate that they want to limit their search to “remote only” jobs (nationwide) right in their job search toolbar.

“‘Innovative’ is not simply another buzzword at iHire – it is one of our eight core values, which serve as the guiding principles for our entire company and everything we do,” said Steve Flook, iHire’s President and CEO. “Although we service customers nationwide and employ associates across the country, it’s especially rewarding when our innovations – like our internship program – can positively affect our community in Frederick.”
