Upty Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hideaki Ida), which provides comprehensive human resource services for the mobility industry, has fully renewed its job site "Mekawaku" for mechanics outside the automotive industry on April 1, 2026.
To improve matching accuracy, the service has been revamped from the traditional "listing-based job site (completely free)" to a "recruitment agency service (success-fee basis)" where our consultants interview each job seeker and propose the optimal candidate. Furthermore, to enhance specialization in the mechanic domain, we have ceased listing sales and administrative positions, and now fully specialize in mechanics (maintenance technicians, maintenance, engineers).
Utilization by job seekers remains completely free, as before.

■ Background of Renewal: From "Waiting" for Recruitment to "Professional Mediation"
Previously, "Mekawaku" operated as a free job site from listing to hiring.
However, amidst a severe shortage of mechanics, simply "posting job openings and waiting for applications" as before, has led to a situation where it cannot fully resolve corporate challenges such as "being overwhelmed by responding to unsuitable applications" and "inability to prevent offer rejections or early resignations."
Therefore, with this renewal, we have revamped the service model to a "recruitment agency type." By having professional consultants act as intermediaries between companies and job seekers, we reduce the recruitment effort for companies and achieve reliable matching with high retention rates.

■ Main Changes Associated with the Renewal
1. Interviews with All Job Seekers, Significantly Improving Matching Accuracy
We have changed from the traditional format where companies and job seekers interact directly to a format where "Mekawaku" consultants always act as intermediaries.
・Preliminary interviews with all job seekers
Consultants assess not only skills, inclinations, and career plans, but also suitability for the company culture and on-site environment.
・Selection support
Consultants also handle interview preparation and scheduling, reducing recruitment workload for companies.
・Benefits for job seekers
The service remains completely free to use, and they can find a company that suits them from a professional perspective.
2. To a "Success-Fee Basis" Recruitment Agency Service
The fee structure for companies has been changed from the traditional "completely free" to a "success-fee basis," where fees are incurred only when a hire is confirmed.
・No costs are incurred for job postings or during the selection process.
・We eliminate the effort of searching internally and propose only highly suitable candidates who match the requirements.
3. Complete Specialization in Mechanics (Maintenance, Servicing, Engineers)
To enhance specialization and reliability in the mechanic domain, we have ended job postings for sales and administrative positions.
・By narrowing down the scope to maintenance technicians, servicing, and engineer job titles, we achieve highly specialized recruitment and matching.
・In addition to the previous "industry classification" search criteria, we have newly established "job title classification" (Field Engineer, Facility Maintenance, Design/Development, etc.), enabling pinpoint searches based on specialized domains.
4. Flexible Staffing Through New Placement of Temporary/Dispatch Job Postings
We have newly commenced posting temporary/dispatch job openings.
In addition to permanent hires, by approaching demographics seeking diverse working styles, we respond to companies' needs for faster vacancy filling and staffing increases.
With this renewal, "Mekawaku" will further enhance matching accuracy and strive for continuous service improvement as a bridge between companies struggling with mechanic recruitment and mechanics seeking better work environments.
