hiredMYway.com recently launched the inaugural Tech Top 10 contest to determine the top Illinois-based tech company. A number of tech companies were nominated for the Tech Top 10, and a team of recruiters and entrepreneurs narrowed the pool down to 50 companies. These companies are part of a community-wide vote to determine the top 10 finalists and one winner of this year’s Tech Top 10.

“We are thrilled by the caliber of Illinois tech companies that were nominated for the Tech Top 10,” said Matt Mosher, CEO of hiredMYway.com. “As we continue to grow in Chicago, we’re excited to be a part of such a vibrant tech community.”

The winner of the Tech Top 10 will receive a full company feature on hiredMYway.com, Crain’s Chicago Business Job Front, CBS Chicago Job Desk and a party hosted by hiredMYway.com. The contest winner and rankings will be announced by hiredMYway.com on Wednesday, August 29.
