"With advanced Artificial Intelligence ("AI") technology, recruitment marketing software, and a network of now over 30,000 recruiters, Recruiter.com is at the forefront of a revolution in recruiting," said Miles Jennings, President and COO of Recruiter.com. "By delivering effective results for both high-growth startups and Fortune 100 clients inside a tight job market with high demand for specialized talent, Recruiter.com is positioned for exceptional growth."

Jennings continued, "One of the biggest challenges facing the re-opening of the economy is the shifting dynamics of the job market; an incredibly tight job market in highly skilled labor, a shift from in-person to remote work opening up the ‘work from anywhere' theme, the lack of lower hourly workers seeking to re-enter the job market, and the increasing voluntary employment churn resulting in the potential for a ‘great resignation' of employees. These challenges are being addressed head on through the Recruiter.com On Demand recruiting service, which we believe re-invents the recruiting industry, empowering companies large and small to extend their in-house hiring team with experienced freelance recruiters along with AI-driven candidate search and engagement tools. As our Recruiter On Demand solution saw a 88% quarter over quarter increase and with our new software subscriptions delivering over $175,000 in recurring revenue, we are confident in our ability to rapidly scale our business and continue to recruit talent faster."

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "forecasts" "believe," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "could," "target," "potential," "is likely," "will," "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, and financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include continued demand for professional hiring, the accuracy of the Recruiter Index® survey, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the job market and the economy as virus levels are again rising in many states, and the Risk Factors contained within our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Recruiter.com Group, Inc.
Consolidated Balance Sheets

Our management uses and relies on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non­GAAP financial measures. We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non­-GAAP financial measures in planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Our management uses these non-­GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period­ to ­period comparison. Our management recognizes that the non-­GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations because of the described excluded items.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before the items in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period­to­period after removing the impact of items of a non­ operational nature that affect comparability.

We have included a reconciliation of our non-­GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-­GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non­GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:
