*1: Based on Spot Work Research Institute / Spot Work Market Quarterly Report [Q4 2025 (August-October 2025)] / As of April 6, 2026.
*2: Calculated from "HRog Chart" data, aggregating jobs with "Baito" or "Part" employment status from data acquired in the final week of February 2026 on "e-aidem", "Baitoru", and "Mynavi Baito".
Looking at occupations, the top 3 categories recruited on Timee were "Customer Service/Waiting," "Transportation," and "Product Sales," while the top 3 on part-time job media were "Food/Dining," "Transport/Logistics," and "Sales/Customer Service." Since the occupations recruited by both heavily overlap, they are considered to be in direct competition for the same job-seeker demographic.
So, is the part-time job market actually being replaced by spot work? Let's look at the transition in the number of job postings over the past 5 years on part-time job media for the 3 occupations: "Food/Dining," "Transport/Logistics," and "Sales/Customer Service."

* From "HRog Chart", aggregating jobs with "Baito" or "Part" employment status from data acquired between February 2022 and February 2026 on "e-aidem", "Baitoru", and "Mynavi Baito".
Looking at the trend in job postings for the three occupations "Food/Dining," "Transport/Logistics," and "Sales/Customer Service," the number of postings for all occupations has been increasing steadily from 2022 to 2026. The total growth rate for these three occupations (2022 -> 2026) is 172.7%, indicating that the need for part-time recruitment is accelerating due to labor shortages.
While there is a possibility that the rise of spot work is suppressing the growth of part-time job openings, the current reality is that the overall market growth rate is large, and the expansion of spot work does not directly translate to the contraction of part-time job openings. It can be said that while both compete in the same market, they coexist against the backdrop of increased demand across the market.
Furthermore, instead of a binary choice of "spot work or part-time job," there is a movement to maximize benefits by using both concurrently at the same business location. A symbolic example of this is the "Spot Baitoru" initiative developed by Dip Corporation.
The company presents spot jobs from the same company to users browsing jobs on its regular recruitment site, "Baitoru". It has built a mechanism that encourages a "1-day workplace experience" on a spot basis, leading to long-term matching.
