Our company, Tryfull Inc., endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release embodies the dream of Tryfull Inc.
Our dream is to create a society where anyone can easily work by utilizing their language skills, and to change the way people work in the event industry.
Currently, we operate an app that allows individuals to work using their language skills starting from just one day.
Approximately 5,000キャスト (talents/staff) from 40 countries worldwide are registered, and diverse individuals with language skills are active at event and exhibition sites both in Japan and overseas.
## Mismatch Between Those Who Want to Utilize Language Skills and Sites That Need Manpower
In Japan, many people possess the ability to speak foreign languages, including English, but have limited opportunities to utilize these skills professionally.
- Difficulty working full-time due to family or academic commitments
- Possess language skills but are engaged in unrelated work
- Can speak foreign languages but have little work experience using them
While these individuals are motivated to work using their language skills, jobs requiring language proficiency often demand specialized interpreter training, and opportunities for casual, day-to-day work are scarce.
On the other hand, at exhibition and event sites, various roles exist, so professional interpreter-level language skills are not always required. Many companies need staff who can handle language support at a conversational level for short periods.
For approximately 10 years since its founding, our company has been committed to creating opportunities for individuals to work using conversational level language skills and providing flexible working arrangements.
However, due to challenges unique to the event industry, such as:
- Repeated email and phone communications late at night or early in the morning
- Complicated schedule management due to day-rate projects
- Discrepancies in understanding and omissions
There was a situation where the system was not efficient for both companies and workers.
## A Service for the Event Industry That "Needs All the Help It Can Get" (literally, "even a cat's paw")
To solve this problem, our company has developed "NEKONOTE," an app for the event industry.
In event venues, which are often short-staffed to the point of proverbially "needing a cat's paw for help," we provide opportunities for language-skilled individuals to work on a daily basis.
With NEKONOTE, we have established a system that prioritizes speed and flexibility, enabling:
- Casts (staff) to apply easily and manage assignments effortlessly
- Companies to directly recruit talent through the system
- Shorter lead times
## Towards a Society Where Language Skills Can Be Utilized More Easily
We believe that language should not be a special skill limited to a select few, but rather a power that can be utilized more casually.
Our goal is to realize a society where diverse individuals—those with study abroad experience, those studying foreign languages, and those balancing family and academic commitments—can utilize their abilities and choose work styles that suit them.
And for companies, to create a more flexible and sustainable event industry where they can find the talent they need.
This is the dream of Tryfull Inc.
