What stands out

Revenue of 9.78 billion yen in the year to May 2026, up 36.9%, with operating profit of 2.16 billion yen, more than three times the previous year
A repeat rate of 80.2% among client companies in the year to May 2025
Focused only on recruitment for the IT, web and gaming industries

What could go wrong

At listing there was no new share issue, only existing shareholders selling, so no new money went to the company
Recruitment demand follows how keen companies are to hire, and job openings tend to fall when the economy weakens
In the year to May 2025 operating profit fell 41.3% as spending on attracting candidates and personnel costs rose, so profit can swing widely with costs

About the company

A recruitment agency that places people into jobs only in the IT, web and gaming industries.

How it makes money

Its only business is matching people who want to change jobs with companies hiring engineers and similar staff. It is paid by the company on success, as a percentage of the expected annual salary of the person hired. By covering only the IT, web and gaming industries, and by splitting the work between career advisers who handle candidates and staff who handle client companies, supported by its own system, it runs a high volume of interviews and placements. In the year to May 2025 it had 1,417 client companies and a repeat rate of 80.2%.

Where growth is meant to come from

It has raised the number of placements by adding career advisers and improving matching, and lifted the fee per placement through more senior-level hires and a review of its commission rates. For the year to May 2027 the company plans revenue of 12.08 billion yen, up 23.5%, and operating profit of 2.5 billion yen, up 16.2%.
