Dr.JOY Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroaki Ishimatsu; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that its recruitment website has received the highest honor, the "Gold Award," in the Website category at the 47th "2026 Japan BtoB Advertising Awards," organized by the Japan BtoB Advertising Association. This site was developed in-house by the Company, and we received high praise and awards in both capacities as the advertiser and the production company.

About the "Japan BtoB Advertising Awards"
The "Japan BtoB Advertising Awards," held for the 47th time since its establishment in 1980, is Japan's only comprehensive contest in the BtoB advertising field. It aims to recognize outstanding initiatives in corporate communication activities (advertisers) and the comprehensive technologies involved in their production (production companies) through advertising works, thereby promoting the development and overall improvement of BtoB advertising, which plays a part in business and marketing communication.
In the 47th "2026 Japan BtoB Advertising Awards," a total of 523 entries were submitted across 15 divisions, and the Gold Award winners for each division were decided. Our company's recruitment site has now won the Gold Award in the Website division.
Unique In-house Development Recognized
A distinctive feature of this award is that both the "advertiser (company)" and the "production company" are recognized separately. The Company handled both aspects in-house, and as a result of our production system being highly evaluated, we were presented with two plaques, one from the perspective of the advertiser and one from the perspective of the production company. This award is a testament to the achievement of our members, both at the Company and our subsidiary in Vietnam, who collaborated to create a single work, transcending job roles, locations, and contract types.
We received the following comments from the judges:
"Gold Award winner Dr.JOY demonstrated a high level of integration between its business content and recruitment message, centered on the theme 'Changing the Future of Healthcare with AI.' We highly valued their efforts in carefully conveying the passion and culture of their employees through interviews and videos, balancing the appeal of solving social issues with the speed characteristic of a startup."

This recruitment site was designed by our Company, which is celebrating its 13th anniversary, to expand career recruitment and better match the interests of job seekers with our company's vision.

In line with our philosophy of "The Next Step for All Healthcare Professionals," Dr.JOY Inc. will continue to provide solutions that reduce the workload in medical settings and improve healthcare services.
Comment from Dr.JOY Inc. President and CEO, Physician | Hiroaki Ishimatsu
Since our founding in 2013, Dr.JOY has been redesigning analog tasks in medical settings with technology, guided by the philosophy of "The Next Step for All Healthcare Professionals." We are deeply honored that the recruitment site, which embodies the work we passionately believe in and have shaped with our own hands, has been recognized at such a prestigious industry event.
This recruitment site reflects, as faithfully as possible, the passion with which we approach healthcare every day. Dr.JOY is seeking colleagues to pioneer the field of healthcare AI together with us. We hope that this site will lead to new encounters with individuals who resonate with our challenge.
This award is a great encouragement. However, what we truly aim to achieve is "a world where doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and administrative staff can concentrate on their core expertise." We will continue to move forward towards realizing this goal.
Comment from Dr.JOY Inc. Executive Officer, Branding Strategy Department | Mariko Inoue
In creating this recruitment site, we were committed to conveying "What it means to work at Dr.JOY" through the words and expressions of each individual working here, rather than from an external perspective. Especially in this era of rapid AI advancement, we strongly focused on communicating "what it means to be human."
Our recruitment concept is "Changing the Future of Healthcare with AI." We wanted to express, through our recruitment site, both the creation of the future of healthcare utilizing the latest technology in the age of AI, and the passion of the people driving it.
The production process involved a group photo shoot of all members, candid cross-talk sessions among employees, and collaboration with members of our subsidiaries in Japan and Vietnam. It is a work where everyone involved in Dr.JOY, regardless of position or location, became a "creator." We believe that achieving this level of in-house development was made possible by our company's flat and creative organizational culture. We express our deepest gratitude to each team member who supported us.
