Sukedachi Partners with Koudensha to Tackle Labor Shortages in Construction

Partnership Overview

Sukedachi, the leading platform for matching construction human resources in Japan, has recently announced a collaboration with Koudensha, a member of the Mitsubishi Electric Group. This partnership aims to assist Koudensha's subcontractors in securing skilled workers amidst the growing labor crisis in Japan's construction industry.

Background of the Crisis

Japan's construction sector employs approximately 5 million individuals, making it a colossal industry. However, the aging workforce is gradually resulting in retirements, and the persisting adverse labor and management environment is discouraging young entrants into the field. Consequently, a chronic labor shortage has become a severe problem.

Recent trends show that small to medium-sized construction firms, many of which are subcontractors, are struggling to attract and retain talent. Without intervention, this shortage is predicted to worsen. It has become increasingly common for main contractors to support their subcontractors in their efforts to secure personnel.

Koudensha recognizes its subcontractors as trustworthy business partners and has committed to utilizing their strengths and technologies to respond to diverse social needs across various domains. Sukedachi will leverage its specialized recruitment service, "Sukedachi Shain," to enhance the workforce and operational capabilities of these subcontractors.

Specific Initiatives

1. Implementation and Support of "Sukedachi Shain"

Sukedachi will provide support for the introduction of its dedicated construction recruitment service, "Sukedachi Shain," to Koudensha's subcontractors. The customer success team will offer thorough assistance regarding service details, application examples, and implementation methods to help these subcontractors secure necessary personnel effectively.

2. Launch of Featured Recruitment Page

A dedicated recruitment page featuring job postings from Koudensha's subcontractors will be added to the "Sukedachi Shain" homepage. Job listings will prominently display Koudensha's logo as a badge to help enhance the brand's visibility and support the success of recruitment efforts by their subcontractors.
