Another Works Releases Results of Side Business Cloud for 2025: Increasing Jobs from Side Businesses to Full-time Positions

Another Works’ Side Business Cloud 2025 Report



In a landscape where side businesses are becoming increasingly prominent, Another Works, based in Minato, Tokyo, has publicly shared the milestones of its unique side business matching platform, Side Business Cloud, for the year 2025. The report not only highlights its achievements but also discusses the notable rise in individuals transitioning from side gigs to full-time positions, alongside updates on new features that enhance user experience.

The Evolving Landscape of Side Jobs


The demand for side business talents continues to surge, reflecting a shift from a simplistic approach to merely filling labor shortages towards leveraging specialized skills for strategic purposes. In 2025, the push for digital transformation among local governments and the establishment of new ventures by small and medium-sized enterprises accelerated diverse needs for side business expertise like never before.

Launched by Another Works, the Side Business Cloud effectively connects individuals wishing to engage in side jobs with various enterprises and governmental bodies. Companies seeking to employ side business talents can directly approach desired candidates from an extensive pool, ensuring the process is risk-free as there are no success fees involved. In January 2025, the number of enterprises onboarded rose to over 2,500, and the talent pool exceeded 100,000 registered professionals.

The option of employing individuals on a side business basis is proving to be a viable solution to the critical issues of workforce shortages and lack of expertise faced by companies. By inviting professionals with specific skills when needed, enterprises can respond to challenges more swiftly and flexibly. Side businesses are transforming into practical solutions for tackling corporate obstacles rather than merely a supplementary workforce.

Moreover, there has been an increase in cases where engagements in side jobs have led to full-time employment. Numerous job postings under 'Side Business to Full-time Opportunities' on the Side Business Cloud platform have successfully transitioned candidates to full-time roles after a period of side work, demonstrating the effectiveness of assessing compatibility and practical skills before formal hiring.

Key Feature Updates for 2025


To foster a more accessible environment for companies to discover suitable side business talents promptly, Another Works has integrated advancements in artificial intelligence on its platform throughout 2025.

1. Task Management Enhancements
The platform introduced automatic task management capabilities tailored for busy hiring managers. Features such as 'Entry Management' and 'Message Responses' allow users to maintain clear oversight of their responsibilities, enabling them to dive into work seamlessly upon logging in.

2. Dedicated AI Agent for Recruitment Automation
The AI agent streamlines the process from job description creation to talent matching. With a database of over 100,000 side business professionals, the agent suggests candidates that fit the specified criteria, easing the hiring burden by minimizing the time and effort typically required for recruitment.

3. Comprehensive Support for First-time Employers
From its inception, Another Works has focused on customer success, providing expert guidance from business design to talent integration. This integrated support system ensures that even companies unfamiliar with hiring side business talents can navigate the process smoothly.

Another Works is committed to realizing a society where side business work is commonplace, and continues to expand its initiatives to meet emerging needs.
