Antworks Implements 'Global Hub', a Recruitment Management Platform Specialized for Foreign Talent

Linc Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Siyao Zhong) announced that Antworks Co., Ltd. (Location: Suginami-ku, Tokyo; President: Jun Hayakawa) has implemented 'Global Hub', a recruitment management platform specialized for foreign talent.

Antworks has successfully addressed internal challenges such as 'burden on operational staff', 'mismatches', and 'inefficient recruitment processes' through the implementation of Global Hub, achieving 'data-driven high-precision matching' and 'significantly reduced workload until job offer'. Following these results, Linc will continue to strengthen collaboration with Antworks.

■ Challenges Before Implementing Global Hub

Traditionally, to address labor shortages, companies sometimes hired staff without food service experience, leading to a vicious cycle of increased educational burden on the shop floor and early turnover. Furthermore, many referrals from other agencies failed to meet the required skill levels, resulting in limited matching precision. In other media, for every 10 contacts, only about one response was received, and due to communication hurdles in Japanese, vast man-hours were spent just in the scheduling phase.

■ Changes After Implementing Global Hub

After implementation, time losses caused by communication misalignments were eliminated. Since high-quality candidate information is provided, recruiters can approach interviews with high confidence starting from the resume review stage. As a result, interactions from application to interview and job offer have been condensed to just about two, achieving dramatic efficiency in the selection process.

■ Comment from Mr. Owatari, Manager, HR & General Affairs Department, Corporate Strategy Division, Antworks

The deciding factor was the high level of the first candidates introduced. Candidates who make you think 'I can put this person on the shop floor' arrive from the very beginning. I have never experienced such high-precision matching elsewhere. Additionally, the quick responsiveness to urgent recruitment needs is a strength that sets it apart from others.

■ Comment from Junichi Sugita, Executive Officer, Career Division, Linc

With a mission to 'maximize the feeling that it was good to come to Japan', we operate a business specialized in the recruitment and retention support of foreign talent. We are delighted that Antworks has implemented Global Hub and achieved 'data-driven high-precision matching' and 'significantly reduced workload until job offer'. As expectations for hiring foreign talent grow with business expansion, we hope to continue supporting the matching of high-potential, job-ready foreign talent through Global Hub.
