HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2021 / Recruiter.com Group, Inc.

"We were pleased with our achievement of rapid organic growth, validating our on-demand model of recruiting solutions," said Evan Sohn, CEO of Recruiter.com. "While our realized sales growth for the quarter was over 99% organic, we also acquired two innovative recruiting technology companies which we believe will contribute meaningfully in the quarters ahead. With multiple new-to-market software subscription-based products and new enterprise on-demand services clients, Recruiter.com is positioned for great success in a time when hiring is in tremendous focus and demand for the country."
First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
- Revenue for the quarter was $3.2 million, representing a 39% increase from the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase resulted primarily from a rise in the use of our Recruiters on Demand business.
- Net loss in the first quarter of 2021 was $6.3 million, or ($.96) per share, which included $4.7 million in non-cash expenses, primarily due to initial derivative expense, debt discount, and stock-based compensation.
Our key highlights during the three months ended March 31, 2021, include the acquisition of two technology companies:
- Upsider.ai, a SaaS (software as a service) platform for employers, which automates recruiting by offering powerful candidate identification and engagement, and a robust database from hundreds of sources and millions of candidates.
- Scouted.io, a video-powered talent platform, which helps employers identify and engage high-potential talent from curated candidate pools.

- Launched Scouted by Recruiter.com, a highly specialized professional talent subscription service starting at $499/month that leverages the power of AI and talent experts to help hiring managers to recruit top talent faster;
- Achieved 28,570 recruiters on our virtual AI- and video-enabled hiring platform, as of March 31, 2021
