For IndeVets, which now employs 38 full-time HQ team members and 174 veterinarians, “making the list is recognition that the work we’re doing matters and is making a difference” in vets’ lives, President and CEO Michael Raphael told Technical.ly via a spokesperson.

“Growth for us this year has been about giving our team more resources and support so they can make sure our veterinarians have everything they need to success at their jobs,” Raphael said. “This has meant investment in technology, HQ staff and marketing. At the same time, we’ve been hiring more veterinarians and now have double the number we started the year with. We’ve also significantly expanded our geography, moving into the middle part of the country, and now we’re as far west as Colorado.”

Coming up, the company will continue to grow by investing in both its tech and people.

“We’re excited to be developing new features that will allow our doctors and hospitals to work even more efficiently together,” the CEO said. “We will also continue our westward march — and we’re planning to launch a brand-new program to mentor and support recent graduates from vet schools.”

“Companies are realizing that the only way to solve today’s critical hiring and retention challenges is by transforming the talent experience for candidates, employees, recruiters and hiring managers,” CEO and cofounder Mahe Bayireddi said in a statement about the Inc. 5000 ranking. “Between The Great Resignation and a looming economic downturn, organizations are turning to artificial intelligence, automation, and hyper-personalization to attract and hire new talent faster, while retaining and developing the people they already have.”
