Profile
Generates fees from agent-centric recruitment, technology-project outsourcing, lead generation, and training, using Columbus and Star Career to coordinate matching and referrals. Most revenue comes from outsourcing, while the listed Cayman holding company relies on China-based operating subsidiaries.
Operates the Columbus and Star Career platforms, which use professional profiles, behavior, and referral networks to match corporate customers with candidates. Revenue comes from permanent and flexible recruitment, technology-related project outsourcing, information-technology lead generation, and professional training.
Delivers most outsourcing work through freelancers, specialized companies, and other providers, with project payments generally tied to acceptance and performance indicators. Operations, assets, and employees are concentrated in China, while the Cayman Islands holding-company structure leaves shareholders with the offshore issuer rather than direct interests in PRC operating subsidiaries.
Matching and lead generation depend on processing user information under PRC cybersecurity, personal-information, and outbound-data rules; flexible recruitment also carries payroll-administration and worker-classification dependencies.
