Strategic transactions and restructuring themes
Recruiter.com’s recent press releases describe a period of strategic reorganization and restructuring. In a shareholder update, the company refers to a strategic transformation involving a Technology License and Commercialization Agreement with GoLogiq, Inc. Under this agreement, GoLogiq grants Recruiter.com a worldwide, exclusive license to develop certain fintech technology and sell products derived from that technology, including CreateApp, Paylogiq, Gologiq, and Radix AI technology and products, for a specified term with automatic renewal provisions. The company’s communications state that this licensing agreement supersedes and replaces earlier agreements with GoLogiq.
The same shareholder update explains that Recruiter.com views this licensing arrangement as part of a repositioning toward empowering small and medium-sized businesses that sell mostly offline but seek mobile app capabilities with financial and analytical or predictive functionality. The company notes that it holds exclusive global rights to the CreateApp / Radix AI platform technology under this license and sees opportunities to partner with or acquire offline-to-online enablers.
Recruiter.com has also disclosed plans to consolidate certain assets into Atlantic Energy Solutions, Inc., which is planned to be renamed CognoGroup. Company communications describe CognoGroup as a planned entity that will hold several assets and operating businesses, including Mediabistro, a job board for the media industry, a partnership with and shares of Job Mobz after a Recruiter.com transaction closes, shares of Futuris, Inc. from the sale of a healthcare staffing business, and other assets and ventures centered around artificial intelligence and recruitment technology.
Divestitures and focus on core platform-based initiatives
In a press release regarding a transaction with Futuris Company, Recruiter.com announced that Futuris agreed to acquire the company’s specialized healthcare staffing business, subject to client approvals. Under the agreement, Recruiter.com will transition specific client contracts to Futuris or its related entities.

Recruiter.com describes this transaction as a way to focus on its core business while allowing Futuris, which it characterizes as having expertise in healthcare staffing, to maximize the potential of that business segment.
Another release details a definitive agreement under which Job Mobz agreed to acquire key intellectual property from Recruiter.com, including the Recruiter.com domain name. The agreement includes cash payments, an equity stake in Job Mobz, profit sharing, and a three-year services agreement. Under that services agreement, Recruiter.com is entrusted with the ongoing management of technological offerings such as a job board, a recruiter marketplace, and a leadership program, with revenue from these activities to be shared after operating expenses. Company statements describe this transaction as part of a strategic realignment and a move toward a leaner, technology-driven company.
