HOUSTON, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (OTCQB:RCRT) (“Recruiter.com” or the “Company”), a leading hiring platform for the world's largest network of recruiters, today announced that it has successfully closed an oversubscribed private placement of convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $2,953,000 bearing an annual interest rate of 8%.  Both funds and private individual accredited investors participated in the offering.

The Company intends to direct the proceeds of the financing into programs that engage the Recruiter.com network of over 25,000 small and independent recruiters, sales, and general corporate purposes, including the anticipated financial, administrative, and legal costs for an uplisting to a major market exchange.
