NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 20, 2022 / Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:RCRT)(NASDAQ:RCRTW) ("Recruiter.com"), an on-demand recruiting solutions provider, is pleased to announce a $2.25 million financing by Montage Capital, a pioneer in the growth debt market.

"We are excited to develop a working relationship with Montage Capital," said Evan Sohn, CEO of Recruiter.com. "The structure of this debt financing offered a strong alternative to immediate equity financing, especially during this particularly difficult environment for small issuers. We look forward to driving our vision forward with a strong financial partner."

Sohn continued, "We are highly conscious that it has been a challenging year for many in the capital markets, and certainly for our shareholders. We have therefore developed a framework and strategy to unlock greater value for our shareholders. Financing with Montage Capital was the first step in our new strategic plan to achieve profitability and increase shareholder value, the details of which will be announced in the coming weeks."

Michael Rose, Managing Director at Montage, said, "We partner with innovative companies with high growth prospects, capital-efficient business models, and exceptional executive leadership. We are excited to participate in the future of talent acquisition with Recruiter.com, using a structure designed to accelerate growth while minimizing dilution to shareholders."

Recruiter.com intends to use the new funds to accelerate the automation of its on-demand recruiter service, to move forward with its new strategic plan, and for general working capital purposes. The loan carries a 12.75% interest rate, with interest-only payments until July 2023. In connection with the loan, Recruiter.com issued Montage Capital 706,551 warrants at a $2.00 exercise price. Full details of the financing with Montage Capital are available in Recruiter.com's issued 8-K.
