Jigyojin and United Recruitment Form Partnership for Comprehensive Organizational and Recruitment Support

United Recruitment Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Yozo Kaneko; a consolidated subsidiary of United Inc. (Securities Code: 2497)) and Jigyojin Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Co-Representatives: Akihiro Uono and others) announce that they have entered into a partnership agreement aimed at comprehensively supporting companies' organizational and recruitment challenges.

Through this partnership, the companies will combine United Recruitment's recruitment support know-how with Jigyojin's expertise in organizational development and human resource development to support the sustainable growth of client companies.

■ Background of the Partnership

In recent years, the importance of balancing 'recruitment capability' and 'organizational strength' for corporate growth has been increasing.

On the other hand, in many companies, recruitment activities and organizational development are disconnected, leading to issues such as:

- Recruited talent not being retained or thriving
- Organizational strategy not being linked to recruitment requirements
- Inability to build an HR system according to the growth phase

United Recruitment has been supporting corporate recruitment through its RPO business and recruitment agency business under the vision of 'Creating a new standard in recruitment activities.'

In doing so, it has recognized that to maximize recruitment results, comprehensive support including not just recruitment but also organizational design, training, and onboarding is necessary.

Meanwhile, Jigyojin, with its brand concept of 'Future Enabler for every organization,' provides external CHRO team formation, organizational development, HR system design, and human resource development support, having assisted over 250 companies in organizational development.

This partnership was established to combine the strengths of both companies, creating a system to support organizational development and recruitment as one, thereby enabling more multifaceted support for corporate growth.

■ Overview of the Partnership

This partnership will involve mutual referrals of client companies and the development of a joint support model that integrates organizational development support and recruitment support.

Specifically, Jigyojin's expertise in management, organizational development, HR system design, and training support will be combined with United Recruitment's recruitment execution capabilities in RPO, scout outsourcing, and recruitment agency services to provide end-to-end support for:

- Diagnosis of organizational and recruitment issues
- Formulation of recruitment strategies
- Design of recruitment requirements and evaluation criteria
- Candidate sourcing and management
- Onboarding and retention support
- Human resource development and organizational development support

This will enable the provision of essential HR support that looks beyond simply filling recruitment numbers to consider 'what kind of organization should be built' and 'who are the necessary people to achieve that.'

■ Future Outlook

Going forward, the companies aim to provide new value for corporate organizational and recruitment challenges through joint seminars, study sessions, and knowledge sharing in the HR field.

They also plan to consider collaboration with the 'HR Leaders Community,' a community for HR leaders operated by United Recruitment, and work on forming a community where HR leaders can learn from each other and share practical knowledge.

Both companies will continue to contribute to improving organizational strength and recruitment capability as HR partners supporting the sustainable growth of companies.
