WDB HOLDINGS CO.,LTD.【JP:2475】Stock Price

WDB Holdings operates primarily in human resources services, centered on personnel staffing. The business is composed of WDB Holdings and 15 subsidiary companies. In its human resources services business, the company provides two types of staffing arrangements: registered dispatch and permanent employment dispatch.

The human resources services business is divided into three sectors: science research positions, engineering technical positions, and general administrative positions. In science research, the company dispatches specialized personnel in biotechnology and chemistry to research and development departments in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. In engineering technical positions, the company dispatches engineers specializing in mold design and software development.

In general administrative positions, the company dispatches personnel with experience in office equipment operation, interpretation, and secretarial work to companies across various industries. This enables the company to meet diverse corporate needs. Additionally, the company provides personnel placement services, supporting recruitment activities by introducing job seekers to companies.

WDB Holdings also operates a CRO (Contract Research Organization) business. This business provides outsourcing and support services for pharmaceutical and medical device development. Domestically, the focus is on safety information management, while internationally, the company handles general development operations. Key subsidiaries in this segment include WDB Coco, Oy Medfiles Ltd., and Corebridge.

Furthermore, Nezott Corporation develops, operates, and maintains platforms related to the human resources services and CRO businesses. This plays a critical role in supporting WDB Holdings' business operations.

WDB Holdings' core management principle is to "uncover hidden value and create new value." Under this philosophy, the company has pioneered the staffing market for science-based research professionals, and now accounts for one in three temporary workers in this field. The company delivers staffing and CRO services through a platform, pursuing convenience and cost efficiency that exceed industry standards.

The company operates under four key visions. For customers, it aims to provide "guaranteed results" and "new value creation." In staffing services, the focus is on "guaranteed results" rather than simply "providing labor," while platform and CRO businesses pursue new value creation. For workers, the company provides "the joy of working" and supports diverse work styles through competitive compensation and workplace environments. The company also fosters an environment where employees work with "pride" and fulfills corporate responsibility. For stakeholders, it delivers "value returns," maximizes profits, and builds trust through appropriate information disclosure. To realize these visions, the company emphasizes key performance indicators such as operating profit margin and ROE, working to expand profitability.

WDB Holdings is strengthening its value as a staffing company to address intensifying recruitment competition amid Japan's declining working-age population. The company specializes in dispatching science and engineering professionals and researchers, maintaining high profit margins while raising compensation for temporary staff and reinforcing its sales structure. It also leverages its staffing platform "Doco1" to acquire new customers.

Long-term, the company aims to maximize both job matching services and on-the-job support. Through platform evolution, it will advance automation, reduce intermediation costs, improve temporary staff compensation, and strengthen ongoing support. This approach enables the company to maintain competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market. The company is also transitioning toward becoming a platform operator, developing new service platforms beyond staffing. In its CRO business, it leverages platforms and AI to improve operational efficiency, enhance employee benefits, and expand operations. The company will respond to advances in generative AI and automation technologies by promoting process automation and standardization, establishing a new CRO model.
