Sukedachi Inc., operator of one of Japan’s largest construction talent matching platforms and headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, announced a business partnership with Tama Shinkin Bank, headquartered in Tachikawa, Tokyo. Through the partnership, Sukedachi will provide its construction-industry matching services, “Sukedachi Business / Sukedachi Enterprise,” and its construction-focused recruitment service, “Sukedachi Shain,” to construction customers that do business with Tama Shinkin Bank, aiming to help resolve labor shortages.

Sukedachi has now entered into a business alliance agreement with Tama Shinkin Bank to introduce its services to the bank’s construction-company clients. Tama Shinkin Bank serves many construction-related businesses. Through this partnership, the bank’s customers will be introduced to Sukedachi’s services, including “Sukedachi” and “Sukedachi Shain,” with the goal of easing labor shortages in the construction industry in the Tama area and contributing to regional economic development. Going forward, Sukedachi will continue to actively pursue business partnerships with institutions that work with construction companies, aiming to improve labor shortage issues among construction companies nationwide. Organizations interested in partnering with Sukedachi to support construction-company clients and business partners are invited to contact the company. Overview of Tama Shinkin Bank: The institution is Tama Shinkin Bank, led by Chairman Masahiko Kanai, and located at 3-4 Midoricho, Tachikawa, Tokyo.
