SC Biz News has named Rhythmlink International, LLC, as one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in South Carolina. The awards are presented in partnership with BridgeTower Media and Best Companies Group.
This marks the 14th consecutive year that Rhythmlink has received this honor, making it a standout among South Carolina employers for its long-standing commitment to workplace excellence and employee satisfaction.
“Being recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in SC for 14 consecutive years is a testament to Rhythmlink’s people-first culture — it means the world to me, because it reflects the core values we try to live every day of being committed and accountable to each other, trustworthy, and team oriented,” said Paul Buckman, CEO of Rhythmlink. “Additionally, and probably most important of all, the Rhythmlink team is collectively focused and compassionate when it comes to the patients we serve, which truly makes it a privilege to be an employee.”
Best Places to Work in South Carolina identifies, recognizes, and honors the best places of employment in the state across three categories: small (15–99 employees), medium (100–249), and large (250+). To be eligible, organizations must have at least 15 employees in South Carolina and be in business for a minimum of one year.
Best Companies Group manages the selection process, which includes an in-depth review of workplace policies and a confidential employee survey. The company’s evaluation weighs 25% on policies and demographics, and 75% on employee feedback, ensuring that the rankings reflect the voice of the workforce itself.
Andrew Collins, VP of Human Resources at Rhythmlink, emphasized the importance of that feedback: “Being named one of South Carolina’s Best Places to Work for the 14th year in a row is more than a streak — it’s a reflection of the culture we’ve built together over many years. It speaks to the people who shaped this place in the past, those who make it special today, and the commitment we must keep improving for the future. For me and our leadership team, this recognition means everything because it comes from the people who know us best — our employees.”
“The 2025 Best Places to Work in South Carolina know that the people in their organizations are the key to their success,” said Jason Thomas, executive editor of SC Biz News. “These businesses realize what it takes to create an environment that results in teamwork and excellence. SC Biz News is pleased to join with Best Companies Group in honoring these incredible businesses.”
Rhythmlink and fellow honorees will be celebrated at the 20th Anniversary Best Places to Work in South Carolina awards ceremony, taking place August 25 at the Columbia Convention Center. The evening will begin at 5:00 p.m. with a networking reception, followed by a plated dinner and a Rock N’ Roll-themed awards celebration. Final company rankings will be announced during the event.
