What Recruiter.com does

Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RCRT) is a publicly traded, New York-based on-demand recruiting platform founded in 2015 that provides recruiting-as-a-service to companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. The company operates a two-sided model that pairs employer clients with vetted contract recruiters drawn from a network of more than 10,000 professionals spanning 50+ industries, augmented by AI-powered candidate sourcing across a claimed database of 150M+ talent profiles. Its core product suite is organized into four engagement models — Embedded Staffing (recruiters integrated into client teams and ATS), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Recruiters On-Demand (project-based sprints), and Staffing (contract, temp-to-perm, and direct hire) — supplemented by a recruiting software platform with automated email outreach and a Partner Marketplace of integrated HR technologies.

The business operates on two primary revenue mechanics: flat monthly subscription fees for RaaS engagements with no per-hire contingency fees, and per-placement transaction fees for staffing. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales for Fortune 500 accounts, inside sales for mid-market, and a product-led self-serve motion for SMBs and startups. The portfolio includes acquired brands BountyJobs (a third-party recruiter marketplace acquired November 2024), Mediabistro (a media-focused job board), and sub-brands such as Recruiter Today (industry content) and the Recruiter Index (recruiter sentiment research). Named enterprise customers include Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Amazon, Dentsu, Anthropic, HubSpot, Robinhood, and Zoom, alongside high-growth startups and RPO/agency clients such as ADP and WilsonHCG.
