Lucas GC Limited is a technology-driven, agent-centric online human capital management service provider targeting professionals in China, operating on a PaaS model. The company empowers its platform with AI, data analytics, and blockchain technologies to digitalize and intellectualize the entire human capital management process. It provides a platform to support trusted and private social networks of professionals, through which it delivers recruitment services, outsourcing services, and other services such as information technology services and training services. The company’s users are primarily professionals working in human resources-related functions, while its corporate customers are corporations with recruitment, training, sales lead generation, and outsourcing demands.

Lucas GC Limited generates revenue through three primary service lines: recruitment services, outsourcing services, and other services which include information technology services and training services. Recruitment services involve permanent and flexible employment recruitment, where the company earns fees for matching candidates with corporate clients and, in flexible arrangements, manages salary payments on behalf of clients. Outsourcing services focus on technology-related projects, providing turnkey solutions that are designed, developed, and delivered within budget and on schedule, with revenue recognized upon client acceptance and satisfaction of key performance indicators. Other services include information technology services that generate sales leads for corporate clients by pushing product information to suitable prospects using proprietary AI and data analytics algorithms, and training services that offer certification programs and courses to enhance professionals’ skills, for which enrollment fees are charged.

The company operates through the following segments: recruitment services, outsourcing services, and other services.

• Recruitment services encompass permanent employment recruitment services and flexible employment recruitment services. Permanent employment recruitment uses deep machine learning algorithms to recommend job opportunities based on user profiles, interests, behaviors, and historical transaction records within the platform’s private social network. Flexible employment recruitment involves receiving service fees and managing the full salary package for candidates on behalf of corporate customers, including tax deductions, to fulfill temporary business needs.

• Outsourcing services are primarily technology-related projects delivered as turnkey solutions for corporate customers who require design, development, and deployment within budget and on time with acceptable quality. The company leverages its qualifications as a Technologically Advanced Small and Medium-sized Enterprise designated by the MIIT of China, along with its network of high-skilled freelancers and specialized companies, to provide cost-effective solutions. Revenue is typically received in scheduled payments upon project acceptance and satisfaction of key performance indicators.

• Other services include information technology services and training services. Information technology services use patented AI and data analytics technologies to push clients’ product or service information to suitable prospects based on behavioral and profile analysis, generating sales leads without acting as a direct selling agent. Training services empower users to recommend suitable training courses and certification programs to their acquaintances, offering both in-house developed programs such as the Certified Career Resources Planner (CCRP) certificate and third-party partnered courses, with enrollment fees charged to participants.

Lucas GC Limited operates in a competitive human capital management industry in China, where it faces competition from online agent-centric service providers, online HR service providers, traditional staffing companies, and traditional workforce solutions providers. According to Frost & Sullivan, the company ranked fourth among well-known platforms in the human capital management industry in China in terms of the number of patents owned as of December 31, 2022, and first among all such platforms in terms of the total number of patents registered in the U. S. as of the same date. Its competitive advantages stem from its unique agent-centric business model, established social network based on acquaintances, low frequency and high price service offerings, and continuously improved platform matching efficiency driven by data analytics and artificial intelligence technology.

The company serves professionals working in human resources-related functions as its primary user base, while its corporate customers are corporations with recruitment, training, sales lead generation, and outsourcing demands. Specific customer names are not disclosed in the filing.
