Hitachi Solutions, Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Hidetsugu Morita; hereinafter "Hitachi Solutions") will expand its "Internal Side-Job Matching Service" on April 3, which allows departments in need of help, such as for hourly spot consultations, to search for employees. The new features include AI recommendations of projects to employees and a function for employees to voluntarily apply for open departmental postings.
This service allows departments wanting to request side jobs to find appropriate employees by searching based on the work experience, skills, and qualifications registered by employees. With the new features, when a department registers recruitment details, the AI performs matching and recommends the project to highly interested and suited employees. In addition, the recruitment details are made public, allowing employees to apply themselves, and departments can also solicit ideas and opinions from multiple people. As a result, the AI matches employees with optimal projects based on their individual areas of expertise and experience, expanding opportunities for employees to thrive and accelerating autonomous career building. Furthermore, companies can generate value by acquiring diverse perspectives and ideas.
Through this service, Hitachi Solutions provides an environment where talent and knowledge within a company can be utilized more flexibly and effectively. Under the concept of "DX by AX toward SX", we will drive transformation based on DX through the utilization of AI, contributing to value creation and the realization of a sustainable society.
■ Features of the Recruitment Function in the "Internal Side-Job Matching Service"
1. Requesting departments can publish consultation topics and business challenges internally to solicit applications from employees. There is no need to search for specific individuals, enabling responses from multiple people and problem-solving that incorporates diverse perspectives.
2. The AI matches the recruitment details with the skills, experience, and qualifications of employees, recommending them to highly interested and suitable talent. This makes it easier to gather applicants and expands opportunities to utilize internal skills and experience.
3. The recruitment-based mechanism allows for 1-to-N matching, gathering multiple people simultaneously, rather than just 1-to-1. In addition to recruiting personnel, it enables a wide range of uses, from driving business operations to generating ideas, by publicly soliciting challenges and consultations to collect answers.
■ Background
Against the backdrop of driving DX, creating new businesses, and upgrading operations, the importance of human capital management—treating human resources as capital and flexibly utilizing the skills and experiences of each employee to drive corporate growth—is increasing. Therefore, there is growing interest in visualizing internal knowledge and expertise, creating opportunities to thrive across departments, and fusing knowledge company-wide.
Hitachi Solutions started internal side jobs within the company in 2024 and has been providing the "Internal Side-Job Matching Service" by consolidating that know-how. Previously, we supported business operations and talent utilization through a "consultation-type" model, finding suitable candidates based on registered employee skills. However, there has been an increasing need not just to find specific people, but to gather a wide range of opinions and ideas from multiple people. Therefore, we have expanded the functionality to allow requesters to publish projects or challenges and capable employees to apply themselves, making it possible to broadly gather internal knowledge for problem-solving and idea generation in addition to recruiting personnel.
