A jobsite launched for foreign IT specialists wanting to work in Japan.

Daijob Global Recruiting Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Human Holdings Co., Ltd. headed by Mr. Yuji Shinohara, has released a new site intended to help IT specialists living abroad wanting to work in Japan called "Work in Japan for IT".

An action is discussed in the Ministry of Economy to double the amount of foreign IT specialists from 30,000 to 60,000 by 2020 as the lack of IT talents increases. In the field of information processing, the number of residence status grants was 5,081 on 2014. Compared to 2013 it has increased by 34.4% and expected to increase more, as well as the demands of employment as well.(*)

Furthermore, looking into the 2014 registered users of Daijob.com, the number of jobseekers in the field of IT living abroad and hoping to work in Japan has doubled from 2013, and has a tendency to increase. Therefore, Daijob, specialized in the recruitment service for global talents, will start the jobsite, “Work in Japan for iT”. It is a jobsite connecting companies and foreigners in the field of IT hoping to work in Japan.

Other than the job postings focused on the IT-related work industry, there are also contents supporting foreigners that want to work in Japan. The contents assist gathering information before coming to Japan and once arriving. In order to provide the users with useful information to support their job-hunting, examples are information about schools for skill improvement, Japanese business practices, and the culture.

We aim to support global talents find the position that fits them through this website.
