We must admit that 2021 was truly a great year! We appreciate the journey and have put down the most memorable moments to inspire us throughout the promising 2022.
On behalf of the RecruitLab team we wish you a happy new year and continuing luck in the recruitment field!
The three biggest achievements of 2021
In 2021 we got a real kick-off as our team grew by two new members – Triin and Endrik.
In April we raised our first investment. We are so happy to have the Superangel, Urmas Purde and Timo Rein from Pipedrive, and Peep Vain, the first investor for Pipedrive, backing us up.
But by far, our biggest pat on the back goes for growing 5 times bigger and having over 750 users by the end of 2021! In-house recruiters and hiring managers from different fields, and agency recruiters have all found their way to RecruitLab. Now have users from Estonia, the United Kingdom, Latvia, and Lithuania.

Had we any more fun last year?

Whether our CTO Karl-Sander happened to be in the Maldives, hopping on and off of Malta, sunbathing in Parnu, or hiking in the winter with -13 degrees outside, he kept everything under control.
Though the memorable “international critical patch Thursday” got us worried for a second, the graphics never lie: be what may, we tackle everything with a smile
For those who haven’t taken the time to learn Estonian, vererohk = blood pressure, pulss = pulse, tuju = mood, neljapaev = Thursday.
