Linksy Inc. (Head office: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoshihiko Moriguchi; hereinafter "Linksy"), which solves the problem of "no recruitment staff" and cultivates companies' recruitment capabilities, has begun providing its "Linksy RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) Service" to Hirakawa Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. (Head office: Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kazuyuki Hirakawa; hereinafter "Hirakawa Energy HD") to achieve its recruitment plan accompanying business expansion, and has also started supporting the promotion of recruitment strategies from planning to execution. Through this initiative, we will embody the company's slogan of "DNA of Innovation" and support the acquisition of talent that drives business growth and the establishment of a recruitment system.
Background of Introduction
Amid changes in the environment surrounding the energy industry, companies supporting regional infrastructure are required to achieve sustainable growth by deepening existing businesses and challenging new areas. Hirakawa Energy HD is pursuing diversified development, including service station businesses, automotive-related businesses, leisure businesses (ryokan management), and investments in new businesses, and has adopted the slogan "Based on the DNA of Innovation, always aiming for 'the next, and the next after that'."
Indispensable for accelerating these business expansions and continuing to contribute to the sustainable development of local communities is the securing of new talent with passion and a challenging spirit. However, the recruitment market is becoming increasingly severe due to the declining working population, and strategic recruitment activities that are not bound by conventional methods are necessary to timely recruit the required talent for various job types.
Linksy's "Hands-on RPO Service," which is being introduced this time, is characterized by not merely outsourcing operations but by entering the company as an "external HR department" and jointly solving recruitment challenges. As Hirakawa Energy HD's recruitment partner, we will support the acquisition of talent necessary for business growth and the establishment of a strong recruitment brand.
Details of Introduction
From February 2026, Linksy will participate as an "external HR department" in Hirakawa Energy HD's recruitment project and implement the following measures:
1. Definition of recruitment requirements and strategic design linked to business strategy
We will redefine the desired candidate profile and skill requirements for each business phase of Hirakawa Energy HD's diverse businesses (energy, automotive, leisure, etc.). We will work closely with management and on-site teams to design an overall strategy for approaching talent who resonate with the company's vision of "the next, and the next after that."
2. Formation of applicant pool and appeal dissemination through "communicative job postings"
Many recruitment failures are due to the company's appeal not being correctly conveyed to job seekers. Utilizing Linksy's expertise, we will verbalize Hirakawa Energy HD's strengths and aspirations. Centered on the message "Your passion and challenge will become a new force in this region," we will create job postings and conduct recruitment PR that resonate with job seekers, improving both the quantity and quality of applications.
3. Establishment of a speedy selection system and improvement of retention rates
To avoid losing excellent talent, selection speed and careful follow-up are crucial. We will support the restructuring of applicant response and interview scheduling flows and rule design, which are currently led by internal HR staff, to shorten the period from application to hiring decision. Furthermore, by visualizing recruitment progress and analyzing data such as interview setting rates and offer acceptance rates, we will establish a system for continuous improvement of the recruitment process (self-sustaining recruitment).
