Findem Named to Fast Company’s List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026

Redwood City, CA., March 25, 2026 — Findem, the AI platform for talent outcomes, has been named to Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for the second year in a row. Findem ranked fifth in the HR category, which recognizes companies that demonstrate bold innovation, impact, timeliness, and relevance in addressing workforce challenges.

‍

“Hiring is entering a new era — one where intelligence, trusted data, and AI-driven automation converge to reshape how organizations understand talent,” said Hari Kolam, CEO of Findem. “This recognition reflects not just a shift in process, but a redefinition of what’s possible. We’re building the foundation for a world where every talent decision is informed, predictive, and tied directly to better outcomes.”

‍

Over the past year, Findem has advanced its vision for outcome-based hiring through a series of product innovations and acquisitions. The company acquired Getro to expand access to high-trust talent networks, launched the Intelligent Job Post to transform job listings into AI-powered engagement and conversion engines, and acquired Glider AI to bring skills validation, AI-driven interviews, and identity verification into a single platform.

‍

Together, these advancements enable organizations to deliver “hire-ready” candidates more efficiently while improving quality, reducing time-to-hire, and helping address challenges such as candidate fraud. Findem has also expanded partnerships with organizations like RecruitMilitary to broaden access to diverse talent and support skills-based hiring.
