### Survey Results
■ 56% gather information via 'Internet Search'
When asked about sources of information used to choose an agency, 'Internet Search' was the most common at 56%, followed by 'Staffing Agency Official Websites' at 48.5%. This suggests job seekers start by searching keywords like '[Region] [Job Type]' rather than having a specific agency in mind. Interestingly, social media reviews ranked third at 22%, showing that job seekers look at both official info and real-user reputations.
■ Approx. 50% check 'Job Count and High-Wage Offers' beforehand
When asked about points checked before selection, 'Job Count and High-Wage Offers' was the top answer at 53%. Other responses included 'specific job content' and 'abundance of jobs matching preferred conditions,' highlighting a pragmatic approach focusing on tangible benefits. Additionally, 'Welfare and Support Systems' (36%) and 'Agency Reputation and Sense of Security' (33.5%) were also significant, indicating a desire for stable, long-term work.
■ Job volume and specialization are the biggest deciding factors
'Job Count and High-Wage Offers' was the most cited 'biggest reason' for choosing an agency at 25%, followed by 'Specialization in a specific occupation/industry' at 21%. Notably, many job seekers prioritize how focused an agency is on their target field to find high-quality jobs efficiently rather than just browsing various options.
■ Approx. 60% of users are satisfied with their chosen agency
