ATLANTA (May 4, 2023) – For the fourth time, Sparq has been named one of the top 100 fastest-growing companies in metro Atlanta by the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Pacesetter list. Headquartered in Atlanta, Sparq, which was previously known as Rural Sourcing, is the leading provider of outsourced digital engineering to build, deploy and support digital applications, products and experiences. Sparq was number 21 on the prestigious list and the sixth largest company recognized.
The annual Pacesetter list analyzes sales data to determine growth over a two-year period. During that time, Sparq has increased its commitment to create high-quality software development careers across America, in places where top-tier talent is often overlooked. This allows our colleagues to live where they want to live and it reinvigorates the economies and communities in which they live. By facilitating this quality of life, our clients benefit as well. Their collaborations with our colleagues are enhanced by talent that is bolstered by enthusiasm, engagement and a zeal for challenging opportunities.
“The technology landscape has seen a tremendous amount of change in the past couple of years,” said Monty Hamilton, CEO of Sparq. “As a result, we’ve continued to grow and adapt to deliver powerful digital engineering and product solutions to our clients. Our success could not have happened without the innovation, insights and technical talent of our teams and colleagues.”
Sparq’s trusted software engineering teams collaboratively solve challenges with creativity and rigor. In 2019, Bain Capital Double Impact, the impact investing business of Bain Capital, acquired a majority stake in the company allowing it to further scale its national footprint and digital service offerings while creating high-quality jobs and new technology corridors across the country. That same year, the company was ranked 22 on the Pacesetter list. Last year it ranked 41. Sparq is one of 38 companies to repeat on the Pacesetter list.
For the Pacesetter list, companies are ranked by a growth index formula that evens the playing field for businesses of various sizes. The revenue and employee growth indexes are the percent change from 2020 through 2022, multiplied by the absolute change for the same years.
