Suketto Jinji: A Revolutionary RPO Service for SMEs in Japan
Inovel Inc., located in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently launched a groundbreaking recruitment outsourcing service called
Suketto Jinji. This monthly subscription-based service is tailored specifically for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups, designed to address the escalating challenges posed by labor shortages in Japan.
Background: The Crisis of Labor Shortage
According to a survey by Teikoku Databank, the issue of labor shortages leading to bankruptcies has reached alarming levels. The number of companies going under due to insufficient staff is projected to hit 427 by 2025, marking the highest record for three consecutive years. Notably, 77% of these bankruptcies occur in companies with fewer than ten employees, showcasing the critical struggle faced by small businesses in the current employment landscape.
Companies are scrambling to find qualified personnel, yet many lack the resources to hire dedicated recruitment specialists. As the competition for talent intensifies, SMEs often rely on the owner or HR to handle recruitment as a secondary task. This piecemeal approach results in missed opportunities and increasing operational complexity.
Suketto Jinji: All-in-One Recruitment Solution
Suketto Jinji offers an all-encompassing RPO service that covers eight of the nine essential recruitment tasks, excluding interviews. The service encompasses everything from recruitment planning and job posting creation to applicant communication and onboarding support, all at a flat monthly fee starting at
150,000 yen (excluding tax). The best part? No matter how many employees a company hires, there are no additional costs. This model flips the traditional pay-per-hire narrative on its head, allowing businesses to lower their cost per hire the more they recruit.
Features
1.
No Additional Fees for Select Hires: With the flat-rate monthly service, companies can hire as many candidates as they need without incurring extra fees. This innovative approach facilitates a more cost-effective hiring process, removing the anxiety over hiring costs.
2.
Accumulated Expertise from an External Team: Rather than simply offloading recruitment tasks, Suketto Jinji collaborates with clients to develop tailored hiring strategies. By sharing operational insights and decision-making rationales, Inovel ensures that clients gain valuable recruitment expertise over time.
3.
Quick Setup with Extensive Support: The service can be activated as rapidly as within one day post-contract, accommodating over 100 major recruitment channels, including Indeed and Wantedly. Whether for sales or engineering roles, the service covers a diverse range of job categories, making it fully online-capable across Japan.
Success Stories
Suketto Jinji has already demonstrated its potential through various case studies:
- - A financial firm successfully hired four high-class employees with salaries exceeding 8 million yen within six months.
- - An EdTech company scaled its workforce from two to 41 employees in just one year.
- - A video production company gathered 89 applicants in approximately two months through this innovative recruitment strategy.
Vision for the Future
Inovel aims to become the go-to external recruitment infrastructure for SMEs lacking dedicated HR resources. By consistently publishing recruitment insights on their official Note platform, they aspire to assist 100 companies by 2027 through both service and educational outreach.
Conclusion
The launch of Suketto Jinji comes at a critical juncture for Japanese businesses, particularly as labor shortages threaten to sustain an upward trend in bankruptcies. Addressing this systemic issue requires innovative solutions, and Suketto Jinji seeks to eliminate barriers that prevent the hiring of skilled talent. As small and medium enterprises grapple with their capability to grow, Inovel’s offering marks a significant step toward stabilizing and empowering Japan’s workforce.
