London, 7th October 2024 – Gaia, the AI-powered recruitment platform, has been recognised by the UK Fast Growth Index as one of the UK’s top 350 fastest-growing businesses, a significant accolade in a country with over 5.6 million SMEs. This recognition highlights Gaia’s impressive growth trajectory, driven by its innovative AI recruitment solutions.
Gaia will be awarded its individual ranking at the UK Fast Growth Awards during a ceremony held at the Bloomsbury Big Top in London on 28th November 2024.
