[Moving Job Advertisement: Recruiting Food Heroes to Work Locally]

Nikkanne Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kaminokawa-machi, Kawachi-gun, Tochigi Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Kaneda; hereinafter "the Company") has officially launched the "Moving Job Advertisement" project at its Tokyo sales office, based in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. This project utilizes delivery trucks as a point of contact and media for local residents. This initiative is a new recruitment strategy that breaks away from passive recruitment reliant on traditional job boards. By transforming the Company's autonomous asset—its delivery network—into media, it aims to solve the problem of low brand awareness as a B2B company and actively uncover potential labor forces within the community.

Challenges and Solutions: Turning "Weaknesses" Arising from Kawaguchi City's Logistics Environment into "PR Opportunities"

Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, has seen a succession of new warehouses and transportation facilities to meet e-commerce demand due to its proximity to the city center. However, it also faces serious challenges such as "worsening traffic congestion," "labor hour regulations associated with the 2024 problem," and "decreased delivery efficiency due to short-distance, high-frequency deliveries." Our Tokyo sales office oversees urban areas, which are at the forefront of these challenges. Delivery destinations are often close together, frequently forcing trucks to park on the roadside. The Company is turning this "delivery constraint (roadside parking)" to its advantage, transforming parking and waiting times themselves into maximum contact opportunities (media exposure) with local residents.

Uniqueness of This Project (Differences from Standard Recruitment)

1. Reversing the Concept: Turning "Roadside Parking" into "Media Exposure Opportunities"

We have redefined the parking time of trucks running in Tokyo as the moment when the QR-coded recruitment stickers on their sides have the highest visibility. This is a unique attempt in the logistics industry to convert a decrease in delivery efficiency into a maximization of contact (ad impressions) with local residents.

2. Hybrid Strategy: Fusion of Digital (Robots) x Analog (Humans)

We propose a hybrid model that invests the surplus created by the efficiency of the "Omni Sorter" automatic sorting robot, introduced in 2025, into "customer service during delivery" and "community coexistence," which only humans can provide.

3. Redefining the Value of Work Supporting Food Infrastructure

We redefine food delivery to welfare and medical facilities as "work that supports the local welfare infrastructure." We directly uncover talent aspiring to participate in solving social issues through daily route deliveries.

Specific Developments at the Tokyo Sales Office

Display of "Moving Job Advertisements": Special stickers with QR codes are displayed on the rear and sides of trucks. Considering visibility in densely populated areas, this maximizes contact opportunities during stops and visualizes the Company's "open and transparent culture." ・Community-focused Recruitment PR: We propose careers as "local food heroes" to residents in the delivery area, building familiar relationships. ・Value Communication through Delivery Destination Collaboration: Through trusted relationships with dietitians and chefs at welfare facilities, we visualize a workplace environment where employees can experience a sense of purpose. ・Opening Doors to Inexperienced Individuals: Starting with a regular driver's license (AT limited acceptable), a support system for obtaining a semi-medium-sized license is also fully provided. We support transitions from different industries with stable compensation starting from 300,000 yen per month in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
