## Promoting Business Integration and Recruitment Simultaneously: How J. Front Prime Space Expanded HR Capabilities with External Talent

Corner Inc., which operates the HR professional boutique service 'CORNER,' has published a project case study featuring J. Front Prime Space (formerly Parco Space Systems) and their initiative to tackle recruitment and HR system revisions alongside the preparation for a new organizational structure.

This case study showcases how J. Front Prime Space, which was undergoing a major transformation through business integration of its interior design and facility management operations, leveraged external HR professionals to simultaneously strengthen recruitment and drive organizational change.

### Background of Utilization

- Amidst complex recruitment challenges in construction and facility management, corporate integration triggered an expansion of the HR function.
- Due to shifting recruitment needs, relying solely on the existing internal structure was insufficient. There was a demand for building a long-term functional mechanism rather than just temporary resource supplementation.
- The company sought external HR expertise to advance the building of an organizational foundation capable of adapting to change, in addition to promoting recruitment operations.

### Project Overview

**Support Theme:** Recruitment promotion and enhancement of HR functions during the corporate integration and organizational transformation phase.

**Structure:** A collaborative 'walk-along' structure involving the HR lead, field managers, external HR professionals, and Corner account managers.

**Implementation Contents:**
- Recruitment strategy design, recruitment project promotion, recruitment operation maintenance, and stakeholder coordination.
- Operational preparations for HR system revisions, including internal communication and PR.

### Results and Key Points

**Surpassing Annual Recruitment Targets with over 30 Hires**
By utilizing external talent at the core of operations, recruitment activities continued and progressed even during the transformation phase. By improving previous operations and introducing new methods, the company achieved over 30 hires against an annual target of 25.

**Expansion of HR Functions as a New Option for Organizational Management**
Beyond just the recruitment domain, the utilization of external talent has expanded into HR system revisions and labor relations. This has led to the creation of an HR structure that flexibly combines necessary expertise, moving beyond the binary choice of 'in-house vs. outsourced'.
