Atlanta September 4, 2008 -- TalentQuest, an integrated human resources consulting and software solutions firm, has been selected for Inc. Magazine's 2008 Inc. 5000 list, the second honor in as many years.

The Inc. 5000 is an expansion of the Inc. 500, which Inc. introduced in 1982. The Inc. 5000 digs deeper to offer the most comprehensive look ever at the entrepreneurial engine driving the U.S. economy. The annual list of American entrepreneurs celebrates companies that have excelled in revenue percentage growth.

"If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 5000," said Editor Jane Berentson. "These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growing companies in the nation—the ones coming up with solutions to let us conduct business faster and easier, and manufacturing products we soon discover we can’t live without."

TalentQuest ranked among the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. as a result of revenue growth, driven by new service offerings and integrated solutions, partnerships, webinars and thought leadership. The company recently expanded its senior leadership team to support the firm's continual growth.

"It is an honor to receive this recognition again this year, and our solid client partnerships are the foundation for our growth," said Frank Merritt, CEO of TalentQuest. "We are committed to stay the course and continue to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that meet client and market needs."
