HeadHunter Group PLC

HHR

We are the leading online recruitment platform in Russia and the CIS region and focus on connecting job seekers with employers. We offer potential employers and recruiters paid access to our extensive CV database and job postings platform. We also provide both job seekers and employers with a broad range of HR VAS. Our brand and the strength of our platform allow us to generate significant traffic, over 88% of which was free for us as of December 31, 2017 according to our internal data, and we were the sixth most visited job and employment website globally as of December 31, 2017 according to the latest available data from SimilarWeb.

Our CV database contained 19.2 million, 23.0 million and 27.4 million CVs as of December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and our platform hosted a daily average of more than 304,000, 363,000 and 416,000 job postings in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, our platform averaged 16.3 million, 16.7 million and 17.8 million unique visitors per month, respectively, according to LiveInternet.

Our user base consists primarily of job seekers who use our products and services to discover new career opportunities. The majority of the services we provide to job seekers are free. Our customer base consists primarily of businesses using our CV database and job posting service to fill vacancies inside their organizations.

The quality and quantity of CVs in our database attract an increasing number of customers, which leads to more job seekers turning to us as their primary recruitment and related services provider, creating a powerful network effect that has allowed us to continuously solidify our market leadership and increase the gap between us and our competitors.

Our customers also increasingly use our HR VAS. Our portfolio of VAS is constantly evolving, allowing us to meet the developing needs of our customer base, which we believe has a positive impact on our retention rates and revenue per customer. We are working to expand the services we offer to create a comprehensive, integrated full-scale HR platform, which we believe will not only allow us to capture each link of the recruitment value chain, from sourcing candidates for our customers, pre-selecting them and onboarding them once selected, but also to expand into other HR activities such as HR workflow management, compensation and benefits, education, assessment and others.

We were founded in 2000 and have successfully established a strong, trusted brand and the leading market position, which have enabled us to achieve significant growth in recent years. We had more than 186,000 paying customers on our platform for the year ended December 31, 2017. We have a highly diversified customer base, representing the majority of the industries active in the Russian economy. Our brand awareness is one of the highest among the Russian online recruitment players, according to Socis MR Rus, which, coupled with a nationwide sales force and broad customer reach, creates barriers for new entrants to our markets.
