(Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Shoji Okamoto; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") announces that it has entered into a business alliance agreement with Nihonkai Shinkin Bank (Headquarters: Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture; Chairman: Yuji Tokutomi) with the aim of revitalizing the regional economy through human resource support. With this partnership, the Company will promote the utilization of regional relocation and side-job talent in collaboration with 127 regional financial institutions (*1).
■ Background of the Alliance with Nihonkai Shinkin Bank
Under the slogan "Filling our sails with dreams," Nihonkai Shinkin Bank focuses on supporting the management of local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and building a sustainable society as a responsible financial institution in the region. By providing solutions that go beyond the framework of finance to address the multifaceted challenges faced by regional companies, the bank is committed to promoting regional industries and realizing a prosperous town development that continues for future generations.
The Company operates the side-job matching service "Skill Shift" (https://www.skill-shift.com/) and the regional relocation matching platform "Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ)" (https://glocalmissionjobs.jp/), supporting local SMEs in recruiting excellent urban talent as executives or successors, either through full-time employment or side-job arrangements.
Local SMEs face the challenge of labor and talent shortages due to population decline. Even in Shimane Prefecture, where Nihonkai Shinkin Bank's head office is located, a severe labor shortage continues across a wide range of industries due to rapid depopulation and a declining birthrate and aging population (*2).
Nihonkai Shinkin Bank believes that strengthening support for local companies in utilizing and recruiting professional talent for side jobs through "Skill Shift" and "Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ)" as a new initiative will contribute to the growth and development of each company, leading to the conclusion of this business alliance agreement.
Through this alliance, the Company will contribute to the revitalization of the regional economy by matching professional talent who wish to contribute their skills to the region with Nihonkai Shinkin Bank's clients.
