Freecracy Launches 'Talents Force': Transforming Talent Management in Japan

The fast-paced change in the business landscape has necessitated a shift in how companies manage human resources. Understanding the urgent need for adaptation, Freecracy, a global HRTech firm, has launched the 'Talents Force' platform specifically tailored for major Japanese enterprises. This innovative talent intelligence system aims to bridge the gap left by traditional human resource management and enterprise resource planning tools, which often fall short in addressing contemporary challenges.

As businesses experience rapid structural changes, proactive and intelligent management of human capital has become essential. In the discussions held over the past three months with HR leaders from around 30 enterprise organizations, we've noted a strong trend toward transformative HR practices. Some companies are starting to leverage internal data in conjunction with generative AI to innovate and test new concepts.

However, many existing talent management and ERP solutions continue to underperform. Notably, HRTech thought leader Josh Bersin highlights that most Japanese HRTech products are outdated and fail to incorporate AI technologies. In contrast, global systems have emerged to help organizations swiftly respond to changing dynamics.

These sophisticated solutions are known as talent intelligence systems and they significantly differ from conventional talent management tools. Talent intelligence primarily functions as an intelligent system that aids in analysis and decision-making, while traditional systems serve mainly as record-keeping tools. To cultivate an active approach to human capital management, organizations must adopt talent intelligence systems—an essential shift for future success.

At Freecracy, we have successfully transformed skill metadata acquired from a global network of 600,000 professionals and 25,000 companies into a structured skill taxonomy. This foundational layer supports our proprietary AI system and highly customizable HR SaaS. As a result, we proudly present 'Talents Force,' a talent intelligence system tailored for Japan that promises to be a crucial resource for companies navigating the future.

Three Innovative Features of Talents Force

1. Auto-visualization of Skills for Current and Future HR Strategies
Talents Force enables an automatic visualization of essential skills required for both current and future HR strategies across all employees. Utilizing a skill taxonomy specifically tailored for the Japanese market, which encompasses 70,000 categorized skills, the platform extracts skills from job descriptions, employee information, and reskilling content with remarkable precision. This allows businesses to identify necessary skills automatically and provides the option for companies to customize skill connections as needed, facilitating optimization within the organization and integrating external data seamlessly.

2. Empowering Employees with Skill-Based Career Support
The platform supports employees by matching them with career opportunities based on their skills and future career plans, recommending necessary skills from a variety of learning resources. This includes automatic generation of tailored curriculums based on skill levels and difficulty, allowing real-time skill-based matchmaking driven by AI. Collaboration with prominent learning platforms is already in progress, making the service robust and effective for clients seeking to boost both employee and company growth.

3. Demand and Supply Analysis Functionality with AI Support
Talents Force also provides deep insights into career optimization and growth support for employees, alongside operational assistance for HR professionals. Real-time analytical data related to talent needs and skills supply is offered to executives and HR business partners, enabling AI agents to generate insights that autonomously suggest strategies. In scenarios of skill shortages, the platform identifies areas for hiring or upskilling. Conversely, if skill supplies exceed demand, it facilitates the identification of internal talent with potential for external opportunities, supporting efficient resource optimization.
