Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 26, 2021) - HIRE Technologies Inc. (TSXV: HIRE) ("HIRE" or the "Company"), a company focused on modernizing and digitizing human resources as a business, is pleased to provide the following corporate update reflecting on operational results in fiscal Q3 and Q4 2020:

• HIRE closed three acquisitions in fiscal, Q3 and Q4 2020, establishing a national presence in Canada, and added sales, marketing, operations, general labour, healthcare, and real estate staffing solutions.
• During fiscal Q3 and Q4 2020, the Company has grown internal employees by 50% with the addition of three subsidiaries. It continues to expand in-house talent in sales and recruitment across its subsidiaries to help drive further growth, adding several professionals in Q4 2020.
• In Q3 2020, HIRE partnered with Atlas ID, gaining exclusive Canadian rights to this digital, turnkey COVID-19 employee testing platform for employers. Atlas ID is HIRE's first SaaS product.
• HIRE completed two rounds of private placement financing in Q3 and Q4 2020, totaling $6.5M. Since closing the financings, the Company has used the proceeds to aggressively execute its acquisition strategy.
• HIRE has seen a steady inflow of job orders across its subsidiaries in Q4 2020 (over 720), realizing more than 360 successful job placements (an increase of approximately 311% from Q4 2019 in part due to growth by acquisition)

"Over the last two quarters, we have been working exceptionally hard to grow the Company's revenue and increase our geographic reach. Since the start of 2020, we have attained an upward trajectory for our share price and raising our market cap from $8M to approximately $40M, creating value for our shareholders all during the worst pandemic in a century," commented Simon Dealy, Chief Executive Officer. "Our recent acquisitions have added strong leaders to our team, and our operational focus for Q1 2021 is to integrate them into the HIRE Technologies network."

In addition to completing five acquisitions to date and establishing a solid foundation from which to build, HIRE has developed a robust pipeline of acquisition targets to continue its aggressive growth strategy:

• HIRE anticipates completing additional acquisitions within Canada in fiscal 2021 as it continues to solidify its coast-to-coast staffing presence.
• HIRE also plans to complete the first of its US-based acquisitions in fiscal 2021.
• HIRE anticipates another SaaS technology acquisition this fiscal year to deliver on its technology first strategy to complement staffing. These transactions will build upon HIRE's success while expanding into the highly accretive SaaS technology segment to drive synergies and additional revenue streams.
