SMD Named One of Charlotte's Fastest Growing Private Companies

    CHARLOTTE, NC, December 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Strategic Management Decisions (SMD), a leader in predictive analytics for employee assessments, announced today that it has been selected as one of the Charlotte Business Journal's Fast 50. All winners who made the Charlotte Business Journal list qualified by ranking within the top 50 private companies headquartered in Charlotte based on their annual growth percentage over a three-year period.

"From being employed with global Fortune 50 companies to starting our own two-person operation to being named one of the city's fastest-growing companies - what a tremendous journey it has been," states co-founder Dr. Shane Douthitt. "The human resource technology space is a competitive one but we believe that our secret sauce to such exponential growth is SMD Link's ability to truly show return on investment and improve business outcomes."

Last month, SMD was named a Top 10 HR Analytics Solution Provides by HR Tech Outlook magazine and earlier this year as an Inc. 5000 company.
