Summary of Our Early Findings Relevant to The Goals
We were able to provide the company overview of two companies during our first hour of research.
We are proposing finding for each company, its revenue, and the total funding amount, as these figures could help to understand the position of each company in the recruitment industry. We proposed finding the revenue, as it highlights the companies with the highest market share/revenue in the industry. Additionally, we proposed finding the funding amount because it would help to identify the companies that gained the investor trust to invest in them.
Our initial hour of the research didn't cover every part of the requested information, so we haven't confirmed yet if we can find all the requested and proposed data. However, our initial search indicated that some companies are privately-held. Thus, they are under no obligation to share their financial data, such as revenue and investment/funding history.
Our recommendations are based on our findings in early research.
