Freelance Engineer Matching Service 'Midworks' Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Over 60,000 Registered Users and Launches Special Site

Branding Engineer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takayuki Oshima; hereinafter 'Branding Engineer'), a group company of TWOSTONE&Sons Co., Ltd., is pleased to announce that 'Midworks,' a matching service for freelance engineers and companies, has reached its 10th anniversary today. To mark this occasion, we have launched a commemorative website that looks back on the 10 years we have walked alongside freelance engineers and companies. 10th Anniversary Site URL: https://mid-works.com/10th/ ■ 10 Years of Service: Midworks was launched in 2016 as a matching service for freelance engineers and companies. To alleviate the anxieties IT engineers face when becoming independent, we developed a package plan with 'benefits comparable to full-time employees,' supporting the independence and career development of many IT engineers while contributing to the DX promotion of companies. As the shortage of IT talent becomes more severe and work styles diversify, the option of freelancing continues to expand. However, anxieties regarding long-term career development and income remain. Midworks has addressed these issues by offering options to convert to full-time employees at the operating company and reviewing unit prices and systems. By creating an environment suitable for each engineer, we have realized valuable matching for both engineers and companies. Over these 10 years, registrations from freelance engineers have exceeded 60,000, and the number of job postings from companies has reached 25,000. This special site reflects on these 10 years of efforts and evolution, and expresses our determination for further growth. ■ About the 10th Anniversary Site: The site includes our 10-year history and gratitude to the engineers and companies who have supported us. - First View: Expresses the history walked with engineers and companies and our determination to continue creating value together. - 10-Year Trajectory: Introduces our efforts and transitions from the start of the service to the present in chronological order. - Voices of Users: Posts real voices from engineers and companies who actually use the service. - Midworks Now and Future: Discusses the current Midworks, the value of 'engineering' that remains unchanged even in the AI era, and future initiatives. ■ Future Initiatives: While the IT industry is in the midst of major changes such as the advancement of AX (AI Transformation) due to the evolution of AI, engineering remains the foundation of value creation. As a service of the TWOSTONE&Sons group, Midworks will leverage the group's assets and business foundation to advance initiatives that can support the careers of IT engineers, IT consultants, and PM/PMOs over the medium to long term. ■ About Midworks: Midworks is a matching service for freelance engineers and companies. Through our unique freelance independence support service, we eliminate the physical burden related to sales and the psychological burden of having no guarantees, supporting the creation of an environment where freelancers can concentrate on their original work. By creating more options and possibilities for IT engineers' work styles and encounters with projects, we aim to improve both the lives of as many engineers as possible and the quality of projects. ■ About Branding Engineer: As a group company of TWOSTONE&Sons, we develop businesses centered on an engineer platform.
