Gaining Momentum

TopHire.co is a legitimate, revenue-generating recruitment marketplace in India (est. $1.3M ARR, ~150 employees) connecting top 2% tech talent with startups. While the project has significant real-world utility and verified traction, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking data. The score reflects the verifiable success of the business, heavily penalized for the poor quality of the submission and the regional/niche nature of the platform compared to global brands.
