Linksy Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoshihiko Moriguchi; hereinafter "Linksy"), which solves the problem of "no recruitment staff" and cultivates corporate recruitment capabilities, announced that it has begun providing accompanying RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) services to Muromachi Chemical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters & Factory: Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Junichi Aoki; hereinafter "Muromachi Chemical") to achieve its recruitment plan and strengthen its recruitment system.

Through this initiative, Linksy will provide end-to-end support from recruitment strategy design to candidate sourcing, selection process promotion, and operational system construction, aiming to build a team that embodies Muromachi Chemical's stated purpose, management philosophy, and core values, and to realize a sustainable recruitment mechanism (self-sustaining recruitment).

*Purpose: "Contribute to society with the themes of 'health' and 'environment'"

Management Philosophy: "We value our encounters with people and aim to be a company that contributes to society through continuous new challenges and efforts to realize them."

Core Values: "Challenge, Technology & Solutions, Engagement, From Local to Global, Safety & Security"

Overview of the Initiative

・Accompanying as an external HR department, from redefinition of recruitment requirements to recruitment channel design and practical promotion

・Improving the quality and quantity of applications by developing "communicative job postings" and recruitment PR

・Systematizing continuous recruitment activities by visualizing and improving selection speed/retention rate

Background of Introduction

Muromachi Chemical, while building on 100 years of technology and achievements, clearly states on its recruitment site, "But that's not all. We are a company that is positive about adopting new ideas," demonstrating its stance of repeatedly transforming and growing.
Furthermore, it emphasizes encounters with colleagues who will advance its challenges, stating, "Our challenges require new power."

In addition, the company has formulated "Medium-Term Management Plan 2028" as a three-year management policy starting from the fiscal year ending May 2026, aiming for existing business growth, challenges in new markets and technologies, construction of manufacturing systems and expansion of facilities, utilization of alliances, and building a foundation for human capital management.

On the other hand, amidst changes in the recruitment market environment, a system that integrates "requirement definition linked to business," "verbalization of appeal," and "systematization of selection promotion" is essential to continuously secure necessary human resources. Therefore, Linksy will participate as an "external HR department" to promote strategy and execution in an integrated manner, supporting the creation of a recruitment foundation for the realization of the medium-term management plan.

Support Details

From February 2026, Linksy will participate in Muromachi Chemical's recruitment project as an "external HR department" and implement the following measures:

1) Definition of recruitment requirements linked to business strategy and recruitment strategy design
Redefine recruitment requirements (candidate profile/essential and desirable skills/appeal points) for each business and job type, and design recruitment plans, media selection, and operational KPIs. Aim for overall optimization of recruitment activities.

2) Job posting design and appeal communication (recruitment PR) that conveys purpose, management philosophy, and core values
Verbalize Muromachi Chemical's strengths, meaning of work, and challenge themes from the perspective of job seekers, and develop job postings and recruitment PR. Aim to improve not only the quantity but also the "quality" of applications.

3) Development of selection system and improvement of retention rate (improvement of speed and acceptance rate)
Develop application response, interview scheduling, communication flow, and interviewer coordination to improve selection speed and candidate experience. Visualize KPIs such as interview setting rate and offer acceptance rate, and build an operational system (self-sustaining recruitment) that can be continuously improved.
