Transforming Recruitment into a "Management Indicator." Launch of "Recruitment Decision-Making Engine" for Structuring in as Little as 1 Business Day

SHIFT Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Dai Tange; Prime Market: 3697; hereinafter "SHIFT"), which supports customers in creating marketable software services/products, has launched the "Recruitment Decision-Making Engine," a dashboard support service that structurally analyzes companies' mid-career recruitment challenges in as little as one business day and transforms recruitment data into management decisions. Concurrently, starting today, we are recruiting a limited number of three monitor companies that can experience this service free of charge.

Background of this Service Development

Against the backdrop of accelerating DX promotion and AI utilization, the mid-career recruitment market in Japan is experiencing intensified competition. While the costs and efforts invested in recruitment activities are increasing, many companies face the challenge of "being unable to identify the cause of not being able to hire."

SHIFT believes there are three structural issues behind this:
First, the dispersion of recruitment data. Although data such as application numbers, pass rates, interview evaluations, and acceptance rates exist, they are often scattered across ATS (*1), various tools, media, and management sheets, and are not aggregated in a form that can be utilized for decision-making.
Second, the lack of organized priorities for improvement. In a situation with limited budget and resources, companies often repeat intuitive measures without being able to judge which initiatives to invest in.

Third, insufficient verification of the effectiveness of measures. As a result, the improvement cycle does not turn, leading to a structure where only costs accumulate.

Through its own recruitment practices, hiring approximately 2,500 people annually, SHIFT has come to understand that the fundamental challenge in recruitment is not a "lack of information" but a "lack of structuring." To link recruitment measures to management strategy, both a mechanism for organizing data into a decision-making format and professional expertise to accurately interpret and judge it are indispensable. SHIFT developed this service based on this background.
We believe that grasping the recruitment structure and organizing improvement priorities at an early stage is a crucial factor that influences annual recruitment results.

Service Overview

The "Recruitment Decision-Making Engine" is a support service that transforms recruitment into a "management indicator" by combining AI-driven rapid data aggregation and initial analysis with the practical knowledge of SHIFT's specialized recruitment strategy team.

It comprehensively organizes and analyzes recruitment-related data held by companies, such as application status and success rates, visualizes the challenge structure, and presents improvement priorities. Its characteristic is that it goes beyond mere automatic diagnosis to organize insights based on organizational background and business strategy.
