"As a 2x INC500 honoree of fastest growing US companies, we are both humbled and honored to be the only staffing company to receive this prestigious recognition two years in a row," said CEO Rich Johnson. "Our inspiration for The Premier Group was based upon the philosophies of Patagonia and their founder Yvon Chouinard, who strived to build a company recognized not only as the elite in their industry but equally valued for their philanthropy to the causes they believed in. While we strive to be recognized as the elite in our industry at executive search, recruiting and placement, we also measure our success on how we are valued within our communities, not just with our clients. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been able to assemble an amazing team of talented, like-minded individuals who all carry the same beliefs about how you really measure success. Our goal was to be able to call ourselves a give back company from the first dollar sold. All these years later we're proud to say that a portion of every invoice has gone towards the causes we are the most passionate about. Among those is the St Baldrick's foundation, dedicated to fighting kids cancer, www.StBaldricks.org is an organization that funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any other organization, with the exception of the United States Government."  

The 2013 Inc. 500, which was unveiled in the September issue of Inc., is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The club is more exclusive this year than ever in its history.
