Especially in the sales and service sectors that support front-line operations, securing a stable workforce has become a critical challenge. The mobile industry is no exception. The increasing sophistication of communication services has led to more specialized work, continuously expanding the demand for talent. However, regional imbalances in talent supply and instability in workforce availability are affecting companies' on-site operations. - Difficulty in securing talent. - Unstable workforce availability. These issues are prominent on the ground, with regional disparities in talent supply being a particular challenge in the North Kanto area. ■ Three enhancements to be realized with the Omiya office: 1. Community-based talent supply: Covering all of Saitama Prefecture, as well as the Tochigi and Gunma areas, enabling talent placement tailored to regional characteristics. 2. Stable supply through the "20-day monthly operation model": This unique model, based on long-term assignments, allows for more stable on-site operations compared to conventional spot-based staffing. 3. Integrated enhancement of recruitment and sales: Expanding the recruitment pool and improving matching accuracy to enable swift talent placement that meets corporate needs. ■ For our clients and partners: [For B2B clients] - Telecom carriers (Docomo, au, SoftBank, etc.) - Agencies (wide-area and local) - Home appliance mass retailers, commercial facilities.
