DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Hudson Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are comprised of the operations, assets, and liabilities of the three Hudson regional businesses: the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company delivers Recruitment Process Outsourcing (“RPO”), consisting of permanent recruitment and contracting outsourced recruitment solutions tailored to the individual needs of primarily mid-to-large-cap multinational companies. The Company’s RPO delivery teams utilize recruitment process methodologies and project management expertise to meet clients’ ongoing business needs. The Company’s RPO services include complete recruitment outsourcing, project-based outsourcing, contingent workforce solutions, and recruitment consulting for clients’ permanent staff hires. Hudson’s RPO services leverage the Company’s consultants, supported by the Company’s specialists, in the delivery of its proprietary methods to identify, select, and engage the best-fit talent for critical client roles. In addition, the Company provides RPO clients with a range of outsourced professional contract staffing services and managed service provider services offered sometimes on a standalone basis and sometimes as part of a blended total talent solution. These services draw upon a combination of specialized recruiting and project management competencies to deliver a wide range of solutions. Hudson-employed professionals - either individually or as a team - are placed with client organizations for a defined period of time based on specific business needs of the client.
On October 31, 2023, Hudson completed its acquisition of Hudson Global Resources (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“Hudson Singapore”), a provider of recruitment services primarily to clients operating in Singapore. Hudson Singapore has a 30-year track record of senior placements and project recruitment work across Southeast Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia.
On August 19, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Hunt & Badge Consulting Private Limited (“HnB”), an India-headquartered provider of recruitment services to customers operating in India.

On October 29, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Karani, LLC (“Karani”), a Chicago-headquartered recruiting services provider that primarily serves U.S.-based customers from its operations in India and the Philippines. Karani partners with recruitment and staffing firms to assist with recruiting, sourcing, screening, onboarding, and other talent-related services across a variety of industries. This acquisition has enhanced Hudson RPO’s global delivery capability by adding a substantial presence in India and the Philippines, fostering business in new markets, and further developing Hudson RPO’s technology recruitment capabilities.
