Apply Gateway, parent company of Hire Intelligence and Cassie AI, has been named in the Financial Times Top 1000 Fastest Growing Companies in Europe. The business has also achieved a series of standout rankings that include:
- 4th Fastest-Growing Company in the UK
- 1st in Employment Services (UK)
- 16th Fastest-Growing Company in Europe
- 2nd in Employment Services (Europe)
The recognition reflects Apply Gateway’s rapid growth across the UK and Europe, driven by its technology-led approach to solving real recruitment challenges for job boards, candidates and employers. Its range of solutions include JobSwipe, Cassie and Hire Intelligence.
At the heart of that growth is Hire Intelligence, the group’s flagship product. Designed to help employers improve the quality, reach and efficiency of their hiring, Hire Intelligence has become a core platform for businesses looking to attract talent quickly and cost effectively in competitive markets. Hire Intelligence is quickly becoming a ‘must have’ for the UK leading Healthcare and Hospitality companies, with the likes of Barchester Healthcare, Akari, DO&Co and IHG all established users.
Rhys Maddocks, Co-CEO of Apply Gateway said, “This recognition from the Financial Times is a huge moment for the whole team. Our growth hasn’t happened by accident. It’s come from staying close to our clients and building products that genuinely make hiring more effective and more measurable. We’ve invested heavily in technology, data and people and it’s rewarding to see that effort reflected on a European stage. Being ranked 1st in Employment Services in the UK is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
Ewan Stark, Co-CEO of Apply Gateway added, “Our focus has never been innovation for its own sake. It’s always been about building solutions that genuinely improve outcomes for the clients we work with. Employers need smarter tools, clearer insight and partners who actually listen. Our culture is built around feedback and that feedback directly shapes how our product evolves. This growth is a reflection of the strength, ambition and expertise of our team, and the trust our clients place in us every day.”
With continued investment planned across product development, data capability and international expansion, Apply Gateway aims to strengthen its position as a leading employment services technology provider in the UK, Europe and Americas.
