In an impressive turnaround, BRANU Corporation, guided by their General Manager of Human Resources, Mr. Hoshino, successfully utilized the direct hiring tool, Chokusai, to hire a Sales Manager candidate within just two months. Traditionally, BRANU faced significant challenges in the hiring process, where only about 30% of applicants progressed to the interview stages, leading to a drain on resources due to frequent mismatches. However, the introduction of Chokusai dramatically improved their hiring success rate by enhancing matching accuracy to approximately 70%.
The Challenges:
With the vision of updating the construction industry through technology, BRANU Corporation offers the CARECON Platform aimed at small to medium-sized construction firms. Despite their traditional strength in generating applications, Mr. Hoshino highlighted the prevalent issue of mismatches, stating that, "While we received around 50 applications a month, not all applicants were suitable for our target, leading to frustration around the high mismatch rates."
The Strategy: Smart Targeting with Chokusai
To combat these hiring inefficiencies, BRANU set out to refine its recruitment strategy by defining a specific target demographic—sales professionals in their 20s to mid-30s. They leveraged AI-driven targeting capabilities through Chokusai, using social media platforms to directly advertise job openings. This not only streamlined the number of candidates who progressed to interviews but also improved the quality of applicants, ultimately securing a qualified Sales Manager candidate aged in their 40s within a mere two months of implementation.
Insights from Implementation
In Mr. Hoshino’s words, applicants from Chokusai displayed a deeper understanding of the company upon reaching the interview stage, expressing a sense of readiness for discussions. He remarked that those who applied through Chokusai were much more aligned with the company’s values and needs.

Chokusai serves as a revolutionary direct hiring tool, designed to connect employers with talent that aligns more closely with their desired company culture and requirements. By utilizing social media and web media, it allows companies to reach untapped candidates who might not typically engage through traditional job boards, thus providing a unique solution in a crowded recruitment landscape.
