i-plug is a corporate group with two subsidiaries: E-Falcon Corporation and Maximize Corporation. Under the mission of "creating a society where human potential flourishes through connection," the group provides various services to students seeking employment, job seekers, and companies.

i-plug's main services include "OfferBox," a new graduate offer-type job search service; "eF-1G," an aptitude assessment service; and "Tsunagaru Shukatsu," an industry-specialized job fair service. These services leverage big data and aim to solve human resources challenges through internet-based platforms.

"OfferBox" is a direct recruitment service specialized in new graduate hiring, enabling companies to send offers directly to students. This service aims to achieve optimal matching between companies and students, reducing hiring mismatches in new graduate recruitment.

"eF-1G" is an aptitude assessment service used not only in new graduate hiring but also in mid-career recruitment and talent development. Through this service, companies can analyze the requirements of talent who excel at their organization and hire students who meet those criteria.

Through these services, i-plug contributes to individual growth and corporate development. The group also expands the range of user value it provides by operating "Tsunagaru Shukatsu," which supports university students' employment, and "Career University," which supports student learning and growth.

i-plug has set a vision to become "the most chosen platform by the young generation shaping the future" by 2030. To realize this vision, the company is strengthening its leadership in the new graduate recruitment market and pursuing sustainable growth. In particular, to address the mismatch problem in new graduate hiring—where approximately 30% of new hires leave within three years—the company provides diverse HR services centered on OfferBox.

While maintaining growth in its existing new graduate recruitment business, i-plug is also focusing on new business development. The company expects to achieve double-digit growth in the high 20% range annually by further expanding OfferBox's market share and rolling out new services such as OfferBoxPLUS, a referral-based offering. The company is also pursuing business development outside the new graduate sector, balancing profit growth with the establishment of new revenue streams.

i-plug is leveraging technological advancement to drive efficiency and optimization in the HR sector. Through the adoption of people analytics powered by AI and big data, the company supports corporate recruitment activities while providing students with environments to achieve authentic growth. This creates meaningful matches that deliver value to both companies and students.

i-plug has formulated a medium- to long-term business strategy through fiscal 2030 and is pursuing sustainable growth. To respond to changing market conditions, the company is dividing the seven-year period from fiscal 2024 into two phases, advancing disciplined investment and new business development. Through these efforts, the company aims to maximize corporate value and contribute to the vitality of Japanese society.
