■ About the CAIO
Our company has set the evolution into a "technology-driven HR service company" as a management policy, positioning AI as a foundational technology that redefines the essential value of HR services, and is promoting its use across the group. So far, we have worked on improving the matching accuracy between job openings and job seekers, personalizing career support, and automating business processes. Additionally, we have been advancing the transformation of internal operations through the use of generative AI and developing data-driven solutions that support the HR strategies of client companies.
To further deepen these initiatives and promote AI utilization across the entire group strategically and cohesively, we have newly established a CAIO (Chief AI Officer) to oversee the company-wide AI strategy. Yuta Tsuge, Executive Officer and CIO (Chief Information Officer), will concurrently hold this position.
Moving forward, under the CAIO, we will proceed with creating new value and strengthening competitiveness centered on AI, and expand the possibilities for both working individuals and companies by enhancing the value provided by our HR services.
The main roles of the CAIO are as follows:
- Formulation and supervision of cross-group AI strategy
Integrate AI utilization in each operating company to create group synergies and speed up the execution of measures.
- Advancement of various HR services
Create optimal touchpoints between individuals and companies by improving matching accuracy and the quality of career proposals using AI.
- Redesigning the roles of AI and humans
Expand the added value of human resources by reorganizing "value mediated by humans" and "value replaced by AI."
- Establishment of AI governance
Promote AI utilization that ensures fairness, transparency, and ethics.
■ About the Group AI Headquarters
