BizReach Launches Interactive "Career Consultation AI Function"

BizReach, Inc. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / President and CEO: Tetsuya Sakai, hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which operates the job site "BizReach" connecting skilled professionals with companies, has launched its new "Career Consultation AI Function." This feature allows users to organize their careers through conversations with generative AI (Patent No. 7724994).

The function utilizes "BizReach AI," a generative AI trained on転職 market data accumulated by BizReach over 17 years. By reading each member's work history, it helps members organize and articulate their aspirations and strengths, supporting them in objectively understanding their market value through dialogue.

Approximately 50% feel a lack of career consultation partners; expectations for generative AI rise, but general-purpose AI has limitations

In today's unpredictable business environment, "career autonomy" is strongly emphasized. However, it is not easy to independently organize one's aspirations and market value while keeping pace with market changes. While individuals may want to organize their strengths and long-term career options, finding someone to discuss with is difficult due to reasons such as "difficulty speaking frankly with colleagues (supervisors/peers) within the company," "difficulty seeking professional advice from family and friends," and "high hurdles in consulting with recruitment agencies unless a job change is imminent."

A survey conducted by our company* revealed that 78.2% of respondents desired "a place to objectively consult and organize about skill sets and career plans in the AI era," and 50.8% stated, "I don't have anyone close to me to casually consult with when I'm worried about my job or career." This indicates that despite the necessity of regularly reviewing career plans from a periodic and objective perspective for long-term career development, a certain number of business professionals lack someone they can consult with frankly and casually.

Amidst this situation, expectations for the use of generative AI are rising. The same survey showed that 64.5% found "the use of AI appealing as a consultation partner for objectively re-examining one's skills and career." The top expectations for AI included "fast information gathering and organization," "ability to consult anytime, anywhere, and casually," "objective analysis of strengths and market value based on one's experience and skills," and "receiving objective and logical feedback."

On the other hand, general-purpose generative AI is not specialized in careers or job changes, often resulting in general theories that do not align with the labor market's reality or an individual's work history, making it difficult to function as an effective consultation partner.

Comment from Ken Eda, Executive Officer, CSMO, General Manager of BizReach Business Division, BizReach, Inc.

With the rise of AI and the diversification of work styles, it has become an era where each business person is required to proactively shape their own career. However, it is not easy to objectively organize one's aspirations, strengths, and market value alone while grasping the trends of a rapidly changing market. We recognize that the lack of readily available consultation partners who can be relied upon without hesitation for organizing one's thoughts is a challenge faced by modern business professionals.

For 17 years since its founding, BizReach has observed the Japanese転職 market and accumulated vast amounts of data. The "Career Consultation AI Function" we are now launching is based on "BizReach AI," which is trained on this data asset of our company, and realizes the provision of an environment where careers can be consulted through dialogue anytime, anywhere.

We developed this function with the desire to provide opportunities to regularly review one's career plan to maximize career options and possibilities. Moving forward, we will strive to evolve this function into an indispensable companion partner for self-reflection and continue to support long-term career development.
