(TSE Prime: 2410) provides human resource services in Japan, specializing in mid-career recruitment for highly career-oriented professionals, particularly IT engineers, sales personnel, and women around age 30. The company operates through its "type" brand, offering career change websites such as type and Onna no Tenshoku type; job fairs for mid-career workers; recruiting agency services (licensed by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare); IT dispatch and temporary staffing services (licensed by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare); new graduate services including type Shukatsu magazine, events, websites, and placement; and web magazines like Engineer type, Woman type, and 20's type. It primarily serves the Tokyo metropolitan and Kansai areas, targeting companies facing labor shortages due to Japan's declining birthrate and aging population.
