Industry Leader Welcia Yakkyoku Adopts Integrated Talent Acquisition Platform "MyTalent Platform" to Transform HR Strategy Supporting Business Strategy

TalentX Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Takashi Suzuki; Securities Code: 330A; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that Welcia Yakkyoku Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Welcia") has adopted "MyTalent CRM" and "MyTalent Brand," modules within the integrated talent acquisition platform "MyTalent Platform."

With this adoption, the newly introduced modules will be linked with "MyTalent Refer (MyRefer)," a referral recruitment service already implemented by Welcia within "MyTalent Platform," to support the transformation of its human resource strategy, which underpins its business strategy.

Background of Adoption

Welcia, a leading company in the drugstore industry, has positioned the active utilization of digital technology and data as one of its management strategies, advancing its transformation into a "life store" that serves as community infrastructure. To achieve this, securing talent with diverse expertise and backgrounds is urgent, but recruitment difficulty is increasing year by year due to factors such as a shrinking labor force.

To achieve high-quality talent pool formation and improved recruitment efficiency, Welcia focused on strengthening "talent pool recruitment," which leverages past applicants and site visitors as assets, and "recruitment branding," which effectively communicates the company's appeal. By adopting "MyTalent CRM" and "MyTalent Brand" within "MyTalent Platform," and linking them with the already utilized referral recruitment service "MyTalent Refer (MyRefer)," Welcia aims to optimize overall recruitment marketing and secure immediate-impact talent.

Future Outlook: Ms. Yukiko Morinaga, Director and Head of Human Resources

In addition to the employee connections fostered through "MyTalent Refer (MyRefer)" to date, we aim to build long-term relationships with individuals interested in our company by utilizing the newly introduced "MyTalent CRM" and "MyTalent Brand." Through "MyTalent Brand," we will continuously disseminate our culture of "working authentically" and our working environment. With "MyTalent CRM," we will enhance engagement with candidates connected through the talent pool and achieve optimal timing for outreach. By conducting recruitment activities that value every encounter, we will welcome highly empathetic colleagues and promote the creation of a stronger organization.

Achievements of "MyTalent Refer (MyRefer)" to Date

Welcia has positioned referral recruitment not merely as a method but as a "barometer of pride in our company." As a result of promoting this approach, "colleague gathering" by frontline employees has accelerated autonomously. Through the ease of use of the app and activities based on empathy, Welcia has successfully approached high-quality potential job seekers who are not typically found in the market. Furthermore, over 300 recommendation comments from employees have been accumulated, which is a significant asset not only for boosting recruitment capabilities but also for improving organizational engagement.

About AI-Native Integrated Talent Acquisition Platform "MyTalent Platform" / "MyTalent CRM"

"MyTalent Platform" is Japan's first AI-native integrated talent acquisition platform that enables companies to continuously acquire excellent talent all-in-one. To break away from traditional "one-off" recruitment dependent on external services and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), it integrates all functions such as talent pool, branding, referral, and candidate management, based on a recruitment CRM that transforms candidate data into a management asset. With the concept of "AI drives connections, humans drive engagement," AI functions not merely as an efficiency tool but as a core engine for designing candidate experience (CX), connecting everything from attraction to acquisition, relationship building, selection, hiring, and post-hire success, thereby supporting companies' talent acquisition (continuous acquisition of excellent talent).

Furthermore, "MyTalent CRM" within this platform is an AI-native recruitment CRM that centrally manages data of past candidates and potential job seekers as a talent pool, transforming it into a company's management asset. AI visualizes candidates'転職意向度合い (job change intent) from their behavioral history and automatically recommends optimal job openings and content at the best timing. Additionally, by automating acquisition processes such as generating and distributing scout messages, AI enables sustainable talent acquisition using only internal data, without relying on external services like recruitment agencies or job advertisements.
