### Why Sendai Now? New Initiatives Expanding in the Tohoku Region
Starting in 2026, the Company reorganized into a three-segment structure: "Marketing DX," "Essential Worker DX," and "Business Creation."
In particular, the "Essential Worker DX Business," which originated from the talent business team launched in August 2025, has begun in earnest this year as an independent segment, driven by surging social needs and business growth.
Currently, the job openings-to-applicants ratio for nursery school teachers has reached about three times the national average. Chronic labor shortages continue in the field that supports our daily infrastructure, such as medical care, nursing, childcare, and logistics. In response to this social challenge, where an increasing number of companies are struggling with recruitment difficulties and low retention rates, we have decided to fully expand support by establishing Sendai, the heart of the high-potential Tohoku region, as a new base.
### Piala's Strengths and Business Model
The Company's strength lies in its high customer attraction capability through "digital marketing power" cultivated over many years. By combining this know-how with the recruitment field, we achieve speedy and highly accurate matching.
This service is available to job seekers completely free of charge. In addition, for facilities, we adopt a "success-fee model," where fees are paid only when a hire is successful, allowing for a low-risk and worry-free introduction.
Beyond simply introducing candidates, we provide end-to-end support from attraction to post-employment follow-up using the power of AI and creativity, walking alongside our partners to ensure solid "retention."
### Expanding Support Areas and Future Outlook
We have already deployed services in three professions: nurses, nursery teachers, and therapists, and will steadily expand our support areas. In addition to nursing, childcare, and therapy, the nursing care sector continues to face chronic labor shortages and retention issues, and the construction management field is also experiencing severe worker shortages and recruitment difficulties. Furthermore, the need for talent acquisition is expected to rise further in logistics, rehabilitation-related jobs, and nutrition/medical-related occupations.
### Future Vision: As a Base for Creating the Future Together
The opening of the Sendai office marks a new start for us to take steady steps forward with the people of the Tohoku region. We will support an environment where essential workers can work with peace of mind while exerting their full potential, and work together with local companies to solve challenges such as talent acquisition, retention, and productivity improvement by utilizing AI and creative power.
As a community-based partner, we aim to provide more value and work toward sustainable growth and new value creation together with the people of the Tohoku region.
