Q&A — Investing in Careerlink

 
What is a Regulation A+ Public Offering?
 

Regulation A+ is an exemption granted by the SEC that enables everyone to invest in this form of financing without restrictions to income levels and with minimum investments as low as $400. Previously, there were severe qualification requirements that prevented most investors from taking advantage of opportunities that companies like Careerlink offer.

Why did you choose a Regulation A+ Public Offering?
 

Throughout our history, Careerlink has helped almost one million people find jobs. It seemed only right that we offer the opportunity to participate in Careerlink's exciting future to the broadest possible audience of investors.

Learn more about investing in Careerlink
Why would competitors want to be acquired by Careerlink?
 

Small and mid-sized recruiting, staffing and retention firms simply don't have the resources or the technology platforms that it takes to compete in today's marketplace. By joining the Careerlink family of companies they have access to industry-leading technology including Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated solutions that would set them apart. As well as innovative pricing models that would make them even more attractive to their clients and prospects.

Learn more about investing in Careerlink
How are we able to compete against larger, national brands?
 

In many cases, we don't compete with them, we partner with them. Someone looking for a job on Careerlink's website will have access to all the jobs being placed on most of the major job boards such as Linkedin and ZipRecruiter. Another reason is that when the current management team took over just a couple of years ago, they had the technology background and the commitment to make Careerlink the most technologically advanced platform for both employers and job seekers in the recruiting and retention space.

Learn more about investing in Careerlink
How does rolling up individual companies into Careerlink increase its value?
 

It's really quite simple. If you were to buy a small to mid-sized, privately held recruiting firm, you would probably pay one times revenue or five times earnings. That's the going rate. But if that same company was part of a publicly held company, it would be valued at five times that number. Share price to earnings ratios easily reach 20 to. And since Careerlink is basically a software company, the valuations can be even higher.

What is your plan for getting listed on a public exchange?
 

We have recently applied to NASDAQ for a sticker symbol. It is our intention, after raising capital through the current public offering, to consider listing our stock on one of the exchanges available to us.

Careerlink Files with Securities and Exchange Commission to Allow Public Investment in the Company

Careerlink Holdings, Inc. (www.careerlink.com), a leading provider of HR recruiting, staffing, and retention software and services, announced for the first time in its 30-year history, it intends to allow new public investment in the company under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation A+.

The company, currently profitable and growing, will use the proceeds of this offering to accelerate organic growth nationally and drive the company’s services business. The recruiting, staffing, and retention industry is highly fragmented. As part of this aggressive growth strategy, Careerlink seeks to acquire independent recruiting and staffing firms that are challenged to compete effectively without strong technology platforms. Now, interested investors can purchase shares at the Issue Price by going to manhattanstreetcapital.com/Careerlink.

For the past 30 years, Careerlink has specialized in assisting top employers with their hiring needs. Superior recruiting technology, comprehensive staffing services, dedicated account management, and ability to meet employers’ recruiting demands for high-quality, relevant candidates have fueled the company’s success, making them a market leader in the Midwest, and well-positioned to expand nationally.

Careerlink was founded as part of an Omaha-based organization to offer job seekers access to employment opportunities throughout the Midwest. It has rapidly become the U.S. leading omnichannel employment recruitment and retention system for HR professionals offering comprehensive solutions to their recruiting and retention challenges. For additional information on the company, its products and services, visit www.careerlink.com.
