Workport and PKSHA Technology Launch AI-Powered Job Recommendation System

Workport and PKSHA Technology Collaborate on AI Job Matching System

In a significant advancement within the recruitment industry, Workport Co., Ltd., based in Tokyo and Fukuoka, has announced a partnership with PKSHA Technology, also headquartered in Tokyo, to develop an AI-driven job recommendation system aimed at enhancing the job-seeking experience. This innovative technology is set to launch in April 2025 and promises to transform how individuals connect with prospective employers.

Overview of the Service

The centerpiece of this collaboration is the Career Matching Support AI Agent, a system designed to analyze each job seeker’s information comprehensively. It automatically identifies and recommends job openings that truly align with the individual’s skills and preferences. This solution will be integrated into Workport's job assistance application, 'e-Concierge,' marking the beginning of its deployment through Workport’s extensive network.

Key Features

High-Precision Job Recommendations via AI

The system utilizes advanced AI to process a wealth of data, including job seekers’ aspirations, professional backgrounds, and targeted job roles. It analyzes resumes, cover letters, and applicants’ previous job applications and selections, ensuring that the recommended job openings have a high probability of being a match. Each user receives daily recommendations tailored to their profiles.

Hybrid Recommendation System Maximizing Matching Opportunities

Research conducted during the pilot program indicates that approximately 60% of the AI-generated job suggestions are comparable in precision to those proposed by human advisors. By combining these AI insights with traditional recommendations from Workport’s career advisors, who offer personalized guidance, the platform seeks to maximize matching opportunities across its robust database of over 130,000 job listings as of April 1, 2025. This hybrid system not only aims to enhance the job satisfaction of candidates but also increases internal operational efficiency, facilitating a greater number of successful job placements.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, both Workport and PKSHA are committed to continuously improving the algorithms and expanding the system's features. Their joint mission is to further innovate the job transition landscape, fostering an environment where job seekers and companies can establish optimal connections through the synergistic use of AI and human expertise.
