HELP YOU Surpasses 1,000 Client Companies: Providing Mechanisms to Keep Operations Running Despite Labor Shortages

Knit Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takao Akisawa), which operates the online outsourcing service 'HELP YOU,' was founded on a full-remote premise and currently has over 600 members performing tasks online from across Japan and 35 countries worldwide. We are pleased to announce that we have reached 1,000 client companies. Over the 10 years since the service began, we have supported a wide range of organizations, from startups and SMEs to large corporations and government agencies, assisting with diverse tasks including back-office operations, marketing, accounting, sales administration, and secretarial work. [Background of Reaching 1,000 Clients] In recent years, companies have faced challenges such as labor shortages, the personalization of tasks, and rising recruitment and training costs. HELP YOU provides a mechanism that allows companies to entrust tasks to external, immediate-impact talent without the need for new internal hiring. Reasons for choosing HELP YOU include: 1. Speedy setup and flexible response. 2. Partner-style support with a choice between 'team' or 'dedicated assistant' structures. 3. Wide range of coverage and trust in quality. 4. Balance between price and service. 5. A partner that stays close to the customer. [2025 Request Ranking] Back-office tasks such as sales administration, accounting, and document creation dominate the requests. We are valued for our ability to provide immediate-impact talent for tasks that require expertise but do not justify a full-time hire. [Future Outlook] We aim to reach 2,000 client companies by expanding our pool of specialized talent and service areas, continuing to serve as social infrastructure that supports both corporate growth and flexible work styles.
