“Fashion” possesses a power that cannot be replaced by AI. It is the value of human involvement. Isn't “fashion,” which unravels and incorporates sensibility and history, something that can only be created by people? We focus on “recruitment” and contribute to the development of the industry. We aim to realize a future where companies can say, “Thanks to BTH, we gathered excellent talent, and our company moved forward.”
Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for expressing dreams. This press release is the dream of “BeTheHERO LLC.”
## Why We Decided to Become HEROes of “Fashion x Recruitment”
Established in July 2025, BeTheHERO provides recruitment support specialized in the apparel industry. Utilizing our knowledge and experience in industry-specific recruitment support, we generously provide practical know-how to our client companies. Why did we dedicate ourselves to this field? It is also a journey of “giving back” by our representative, Sasaki.
During my student days, what changed my unconfident self was working in the apparel industry and the colleagues who passionately spoke about the allure of fashion. As someone who was nurtured and saved by fashion culture, I could not overlook the “crisis” this industry is facing.
In the past, the apparel industry was synonymous with “dream jobs” for young people. However, currently, cries are rising from the field such as “people aren't gathering,” “costs are too heavy,” and “even if we hire them, they quit quickly,” and its former glory is being overshadowed by the term “black company.”
If things continue like this, Japan's fashion culture, which fosters “sensibility” and “hospitality” precisely because of human involvement, will cease to exist, swept away by the waves of AI and efficiency. It was with this sense of crisis that we rose to action.
## The Challenge of the “Lonely Battle” Faced by Recruitment Managers
What we have observed through our interactions with many companies is a “negative chain” that recruitment managers fall into.
- Endless workload: Chasing applicant responses and media management, leaving no time to deeply consider the company's appeal.
- Disconnect from the field: With no dedicated recruitment department, the task is left entirely to store managers, resulting in a series of interview cancellations.
- Absence of core focus: Recruitment becomes about “just filling positions,” leading to mismatches and increased turnover.
Recruitment managers should be the “front-line heroes” who create the future of the company. However, in reality, they are overwhelmed by daily routines and forced into a lonely battle.
The dream BeTheHERO wants to achieve is to fundamentally change the way recruitment is done, thereby raising the overall enthusiasm of the industry.
What we offer is not merely talent introduction or operational proxy. It is about creating an environment where recruitment managers can focus on the essential value of “engaging with their own company and conversing with candidates.” By undertaking the painstaking practical aspects and sharing our expertise, we enable managers to concentrate on “what they truly need to do” for their company—that is, communicating the company's passion.
When recruitment stabilizes, there will be mental leeway in the field. If there is leeway in the field, “sensible customer service,” which focuses on each individual customer, will be revived. Young people who witness this scene will again light up, thinking, “I want to sell these clothes, I want to work for this brand.”
To spread this “positive cycle” throughout apparel companies in Japan. That is our mission.
## The Future BeTheHERO Aims to Realize in the Industry
The future we aim for is to become heroes who support the apparel industry through “people.” Currently, recruitment managers in the industry are facing various hardships such as “lack of people,” “high costs,” and “many cancellations.” They are strongly affected by the seller's market and are exhausted daily.
Continued exhaustion reduces the frequency of approaches to convey the company's appeal, resulting in recruitment becoming more distant. As a result, we believe that the exhaustion of the field is also occurring simultaneously, creating a negative loop. Even a small workload, when underestimated, carries the risk of leading to the collapse of the field.
We will solve this. Through providing recruitment knowledge and practical support, we will help create an environment where managers can focus on “what they truly need to do” for their company. By concentrating on core tasks (the tasks managers truly need to do to face their own company), we will help stabilize recruitment and ultimately achieve the company's prosperity.
Amidst the increase in services accelerating recruitment methods, such as talent introduction and the emergence of new services, we provide support aimed at fundamentally improving recruitment. We believe that fundamentally improving recruitment capability is an initiative for HR recruitment managers to enhance corporate value.
## The World Envisioned Beyond the Dream
“Thanks to BeTheHERO's accompaniment, we've built the best team.”
“Recruitment has become enjoyable. I've come to love my company even more.”
Each time we receive such feedback, our dream moves one step closer to reality. The apparel industry is a wonderful place that delivers value that only humans can create.
We will not stop our progress until this vision is fulfilled. We will break down the walls that steal the time of recruitment managers, turn the exhaustion of the field into hope, and make the apparel industry once again “a place that children first aspire to.” To make everyone who loves fashion a “HERO” who colors their own life. BeTheHERO continues to run alongside the heroes in the field today.
