Findin Core: A New Strategy to Address Labor Shortages

In response to Japan’s looming labor shortages, Tsunagu Group Holdings has introduced Findin Core, a strategic approach aimed at optimizing recruitment for industries deeply affected like services, logistics, and maintenance. This initiative stems from over ten years of operational data accumulated through their specialized web recruitment service, Findin.

Tackling the Labor Demand Challenge

With projections indicating an annual labor demand gap of approximately 5 billion hours by 2030, certain sectors face urgent difficulties in securing talent. Particularly within service, retail, and cleaning industries, recruitment challenges continue to escalate. Organizations struggle with several pressing issues:

• - They receive a steady number of applications, yet candidates often show low enthusiasm, leading to unsuccessful hires.
• - Difficulty in securing workers during off-peak hours, such as early mornings and late nights.
• - Significant variances in application rates and hiring outcomes across different regions.

These complexities emphasize that labor shortages are more than mere numbers; they reflect the unique recruitment structures within each industry that need to be addressed purposefully.

The Development of Findin Core: Optimizing Recruitment Attraction

The modern job seeker no longer relies solely on job boards and advertisements. Instead, they utilize smartphones and social media to compare job responsibilities, work environments, and potential roles before deciding whether to apply. Consequently, the design of the recruitment site and customer experience has become just as critical as the job postings themselves.

Recognizing this shift, Tsunagu Group tailored its recruitment attraction strategies not just to advertise but to deliver measurable recruitment outcomes with Findin. Insights from over a decade dealing with diverse recruitment challenges revealed that successful recruitment methods and channels greatly differ by industry.

In response, Tsunagu Group has developed Findin Core, which incorporates established operational insights tailored to the unique characteristics and recruitment structures of sectors grappling with severe labor shortages. This model aims for sustainable recruitment success by balancing proven strategies with tailored site attraction techniques.

Features of the Industry-Specific Model: Findin Core

1. Data-Driven Optimization: Findin Core emphasizes reproducible recruitment outcomes based on more than a decade of collected data from recruitment and candidate behaviors. This approach minimizes subjective operational decisions.

2. Standardized Success Patterns: The model analyzes effective recruitment designs and tactics identified over previous operational experiences. By understanding sector-specific challenges and applicant behaviors, the approach integrates distribution design and appeal strategies tailored to each industry's unique needs, enabling quicker realization of beneficial results.

3. Extensive Distribution Network: By utilizing a network of over 2 million distribution channels, Findin Core reaches more than 90% of Japan’s internet users. This flexibility allows it to adapt strategies to varying geographic regions, specific job profiles, and peak hours, significantly enhancing outreach and engaging both active and previously unreachable passive candidates.

Proven Results and Future Outlook

Companies employing the Findin service have reported marked improvements in key metrics, including application numbers, hiring rates, and overall efficiency. For instance:

• - In the food service and retail sectors, enhanced traffic to recruitment sites has resulted in these platforms accounting for approximately 40% of applications and around 50% of hires.
• - In logistics, shifting from traditional job methods to a focused site attraction strategy led to a 2.5-fold increase in applications and a fivefold rise in actual hires, with unprecedented reductions in hiring costs.
• - For cleaning and maintenance, reorganizing recruitment strategies around site attraction has almost doubled applications and increased hires by close to 150%. These results underscore the model’s efficiency.

Looking ahead, Tsunagu Group commits to refining its offerings around Findin and elevating its support models tailored to varying industry needs. Armed with accumulated operational data, the goal remains to help companies develop sustainable recruitment systems capable of meeting ongoing labor demands effectively.
