TorchLight is committed to helping D.C.’s leading companies recruit and hire top talent in key marketing, communications and digital roles. The company has achieved an impressive 97% placement success rate. That means that placements are still successfully in place and thriving one year after hire.

“It’s an honor to be included in the list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies again this year,” said TorchLight Hire president Heidi Parsont. “We credit our exponential growth to a great team passionate about delivering exceptional service as we connect D.C. companies with experienced marketing professionals. While we are proud of this recent honor, we are most proud of doing our part to keep Washington’s economy growing and thriving through an exceptional workforce.”

Earlier in 2017, the Washington Business Journal deemed this WBENC-certified woman-owned small business a Washington “Best Place to Work.” TorchLight’s notoriety comes from its valuing flexibility, encouraging lifelong learning, and supporting working women in all their roles. We do this all while experiencing fast-track growth.
