Recruit Holdings Is a Global Powerhouse in Recruitment
We expect Recruit’s strategy to focus on expansion of its online marketplace for employment, Indeed, and to a lesser extent, expansion of its online review site for employers, Glassdoor.

Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Recruit owns two out of three globally scaled employment-related technology platforms, both of which are an order of magnitude larger than their closest competitor.
Bears
The employment market is inherently highly fragmented, preventing Indeed from consolidating the market meaningfully.
