Business Overview

Career operates primarily in the "aging society staffing services" sector. The company positions job seekers aged 55 and above as "active seniors" and operates two core businesses: the Senior Work business, which creates employment opportunities for seniors, and the Senior Care business, which provides dispatch and placement services for specialized professionals such as nurses and caregivers, as well as home care services.

The company serves diverse clients including care facilities, medical institutions, general corporations, hotels, and logistics companies. It generates revenue through staffing dispatch, personnel placement, contract work, and trial placement arrangements, earning dispatch fees, placement commissions, and contract fees. As of September 2025, Career operates a nationwide branch network with 8 locations dedicated to Senior Work and 24 locations for Senior Care.

The company operates as a single business segment focused on aging society staffing services. The Senior Work business handles a wide range of roles including building cleaning, bed making, office data entry, warehouse operations, and placement of qualified professionals. The Senior Care business supplies stable staffing—primarily nurses, assistant nurses, and caregivers—to residential care facilities, home care settings, medical institutions, and private residences.

Management Policy

The company positions itself as a staffing service provider for an aging society, with the dual management objectives of growth and profitability. Specifically, it monitors year-over-year sales growth and operating profit margin as key performance indicators, pursuing continuous revenue expansion through stable talent supply. The company defines individuals aged 55 and above as "Active Seniors" and provides services across a broad customer base—including nursing facilities, medical institutions, logistics, and hospitality—leveraging its existing Senior Work and Senior Care business divisions. As of September 2025, the company operates 8 branches for Senior Work and 24 branches for Senior Care, using this network as the foundation for growth.

The company has identified talent matching precision and value-added service development as priority investment areas, using concentrated investment in these domains to differentiate from competitors. Specific initiatives include supporting flexible work arrangements such as short-hour and short-duration shifts tailored to seniors' physical capacity and preferred schedules, as well as remote work options; providing reskilling and retraining programs through recurrent education; and jointly developing job designs in collaboration with client companies. Through these efforts, the company aims to improve senior employee retention and client satisfaction, positioning itself as a "talent service that delivers results" rather than merely supplying personnel.

For new market development and business expansion, the company plans to extend beyond staffing services into adjacent senior-focused sectors and healthcare fields. Specific measures include deepening home care and nursing staff dispatch services, piloting new businesses such as preventive care and life support services, and considering strategic partnerships, investments, and acquisitions as needed. Leveraging its community-based branch network to quickly capture local needs, the company aims to expand market share in regional markets.

In technological innovation, the company prioritizes digitalization to achieve both operational efficiency and quality improvement. Specific initiatives include advancing matching functionality that automatically aligns applicant profiles with job requirements, reducing administrative work through business process digitalization, and implementing systems to strengthen internal governance. Additionally, the company is establishing online training and skills management tools to support reskilling, aiming to simultaneously achieve productivity gains and eliminate talent-job mismatches through technology utilization.
