BizReach: Japan's premier online career networking service, which has transformed the Japanese business community in allowing career-driven executives to freely share and directly connect with talent-seeking employers and recruiters.Often referred to as the “LinkedIn of Japan” in the HR industry, the service has allowed over half a million executives to explore their career options by sharing their resume information in a closed online database shared amongst only employers and recruiters. The service has disrupted the executive search (recruitment) market by becoming a cloud-based talent sourcing platform for employers to recruit and hire business executives directly. CareerTrek: The service was built on the needs of BizReach clients (employers) wanting to recruit and hire “young” professionals (20s and early 30s) more efficiently thru direct sourcing methods. Hence, the service is branded and targeted to become an online career networking service connecting young professional jobseekers and employers. Together with BizReach, the 2 cloud-based talent sourcing platforms deliver similar results to what Linkedin delivers to enterprise clients outside of Japan. An added feature of CareerTrek due to its focus on a younger audience is its recommendation engine, which supports jobseekers in not only proactively finding jobs that they think fit them, but being introduced to positions that other similar users find interesting. Stanby: Stanby is a job search engine, which aggregates job postings from hundreds of third-party job sites. This “Google for Jobs” service enables jobseekers to search from over 4 million jobs posted online from all over the country in just one search. Stanby ATS is a service provided to employers, and is a cloud-based applicant tracking system for employers, and is free to use. Employers can create job postings, source applicants and track applicants, together functioning as a central platform for all recruitment efforts.
