Celebrating Six Years of lotsful and the Launch of Career Circle

As of today, lotsful Company, which operates the side job matching service lotsful, is thrilled to celebrate its sixth anniversary. Founded by the Persol Group and led by Midori Tanaka, lotsful has dedicated itself to creating opportunities that enable autonomous matching between employees and jobs, resonating with the vision of working and smiling together.

To commemorate this milestone, lotsful is launching the ambassador campaign for its new initiative, Career Circle, which aims to foster an environment where employee growth and mobility can thrive through internal side jobs and departmental transfers. This campaign seeks to create practical case studies by offering Career Circle to selected ambassador companies through a special plan, ultimately aiming to cultivate agile and self-sufficient organizations and talent.

Background of the Campaign

Having supported various organizations, including large corporations, startups, government bodies, and healthcare institutions, lotsful has contributed significantly to the individual growth of people working through side jobs. The platform has been pivotal in leveraging the expertise of side job talent to support the growth of businesses and organizations alike. Starting in 2024, the rollout of Career Circle will enhance the multi-faceted approach to addressing corporate human resource challenges by internally promoting public transfers and side jobs.

Modern companies must adopt human capital management strategies to adapt to rapidly changing environments characterized by labor shortages and technological advancements. In this context, corporate initiatives encouraging employees to gain diverse experiences across departments are gaining traction as effective strategies for revitalizing organizations and cultivating talent. Consequently, the adoption and usage of Career Circle are witnessing increased interest.

The objective of the ambassador campaign is to spread the value of Career Circle to a broader range of companies and to establish practical model cases showcasing personnel fluidity within the internal labor market. By soliciting ambassador companies, lotsful endeavors to promote and support a seamless transition between external and internal labor markets, ultimately fostering growth for both individuals and organizations.

Comments from Midori Tanaka, Representative of lotsful Company

"At lotsful, we have not only facilitated the concept of external side jobs but have actively supported internal mobility and fluidity within organizations. Initially, our focus was primarily on startups in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but we are now witnessing engagement from major corporations, local governments, and healthcare organizations. With the introduction of Career Circle, we are seeing opportunities for employees to gain border-crossing experiences, leading to cross-departmental collaboration and talent repositioning.

This ambassador campaign seeks to collectively establish examples that enhance employee career autonomy while driving sustainable corporate growth. As we celebrate our sixth anniversary, it is imperative to disseminate the significance and effectiveness of our endeavors, fostering companies that can generate agile, adaptable talent and organizations."
