What stands out

  • Runs しゅふJOB, a job site focused on homemakers
  • A staffing company with revenue of over 10 billion yen, about 70% of it from staffing and recruitment
  • The offering raised a relatively small amount, about 1.4 billion yen

What could go wrong

  • Centred on staffing and recruitment, so it is sensitive to the economy through companies' appetite for hiring
  • Consolidated operating margin was a thin 2.5% (year to March 2024), so profit is small relative to revenue
  • The share of stock offered at listing (offering ratio) was a high 45.2%, which could weigh on supply and demand right after listing

About the company

A staffing company built around the job site しゅふJOB, matching homemakers who want work that fits family life with companies.

How it makes money

It earns most of its money from staffing and recruitment services tailored to how homemakers want to work; in the year to March 2024 this business made up 67.2% of revenue. It also runs media such as the job site しゅふJOB and helps companies digitalise their operations (DX).

Where growth is meant to come from

The core of its business is connecting homemakers who want to work but have limits on time and place with companies short of staff. Its aim is to broaden its sources of income by combining job media and DX support with staffing and recruitment.
