Contract Co., Ltd. and General Incorporated Association National Construction Human Resources Association Start Collaboration with Daisan Co., Ltd. for Construction Human Resources Services

Contract Co., Ltd. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director: Kosuke Segou / hereinafter, Contract), a group company of Nareru Group Co., Ltd. (TSE Growth: 9163), and the General Incorporated Association National Construction Human Resources Association (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo / Chairman: Minoru Okano / hereinafter, Zenken), which operates a human resources introduction business for construction technicians (hereinafter, artisans), have started a collaboration with Daisan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture / President: Taketoshi Fujita / hereinafter, Daisan) for the provision of construction human resources services.

Background of this Collaboration

The shortage of artisans and construction management personnel supporting construction sites is becoming increasingly serious in Japan's construction industry. Securing human resources is a critical management issue for many construction companies, leading to delays in construction and posing challenges for the industry as a whole.

Contract and Zenken operate an artisan introduction business and a direct recruiting service called "Artisan Scout" that connect people who want to work in the construction industry with companies struggling with labor shortages. They also provide human resources introduction services in the construction human resources field.

Meanwhile, Daisan has supported the construction industry technically for many years as a leading company in scaffolding construction. They also have a customer base with numerous construction businesses.

Through this collaboration, Contract and Zenken will address the structural issue of labor shortages in the construction industry by combining the construction human resources support know-how and customer base of Nareru Group with Daisan's construction know-how and customer base.

Furthermore, they will expand opportunities to provide services such as artisan introduction, human resources introduction, and direct recruiting services to Daisan's customers, and promote collaboration utilizing both companies' customer bases.

Nareru Group, which includes Contract and Zenken, positions the artisan introduction business as one of its growth areas in its medium-term management plan "Change and Growth 2030," and this collaboration is part of those efforts.

Future Outlook

Through this collaboration, Nareru Group aims to expand its touchpoints with construction companies and increase opportunities to provide services such as construction management personnel introduction, introduction of foreign workers with specified skills, and direct recruiting services, in addition to artisan introduction.

Furthermore, by leveraging the human resources database and corporate network accumulated through these initiatives, Nareru Group aims to realize the construction human resources platform concept outlined in its medium-term management plan.

About Contract Co., Ltd.

As a group company of Nareru Group Co., Ltd. (TSE Growth: 9163), Contract engages in temporary staffing and human resources introduction services in the construction human resources field.

In addition to providing human resources introduction services for construction personnel such as construction management, Contract collaborates with the General Incorporated Association National Construction Human Resources Association to undertake recruitment activities for artisan candidates in the artisan introduction business for Zenken member companies, thereby addressing the labor shortage issue in the construction industry.

Going forward, Contract will continue to contribute to the sustainable development of the construction industry and work towards solving the social issue of labor shortages through the expansion of services, including the artisan introduction business, in the construction human resources field.
