Human Resocia Expands BIM/CIM Talent Acquisition in Indonesia to Address Japan's Infrastructure Shortage

Human Resocia Accelerates BIM/CIM Talent Acquisition in Indonesia

Human Resocia Co., Ltd., a comprehensive human resources services company headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is taking significant steps to tackle Japan's infrastructure challenges by accelerating the recruitment of BIM/CIM (Building Information Modeling/Construction Information Modeling) engineers in Indonesia. This initiative will culminate in their participation at the "KapanJepan Fair 2025 – Japan Job Fair" taking place on November 22, 2025, in Jakarta, where they will conduct direct recruitment selection.

The company has successfully recruited overseas talent in the science and engineering fields and has been utilizing its unique training schemes to support their integration into Japanese companies. In light of the ongoing shortage of technical personnel in the construction industry, Human Resocia aims to establish a workforce of 1,000 construction engineers by the end of the 2027 fiscal year, linking outstanding talent from around the globe, particularly from Indonesia, to growing sectors in Japan. This effort is not just a business initiative; it is a vital contribution to solving Japan's declining labor force and infrastructure issues.

Objectives of the Initiative

1. Strengthening the Supply of BIM/CIM Talent: Expanding the recruitment of promising STEM talents from overseas to mitigate the workforce shortage in the construction sector.
2. Participation in Job Fair: Engaging in the KapanJepan Fair to recruit BIM/CIM professionals directly from Indonesia.
3. Utilizing Unique Training Programs: Implementing innovative human resource development schemes to facilitate the integration of foreign talent into the Japanese workforce, thereby addressing the skills shortage.

Understanding the Need: The Shortage of BIM/CIM Professionals in Japan

As the construction industry in Japan faces a dire shortage of professionals, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is advocating for the principled application of BIM/CIM in direct projects. The implementation of BIM/CIM is deemed essential for enhancing productivity, leading to a consistent rise in the demand for skilled technicians. However, securing immediately deployable talent domestically is increasingly challenging. Surveys conducted by Human Resocia reveal that over 50% of respondents predict a worsening shortage of BIM/CIM professionals within the next five years, underscoring the urgent need for developing young engineers.

Accelerating International Recruitment and Training

In response to this pressing challenge, Human Resocia is ramping up its recruitment efforts not only in Indonesia but across Asia and around the world. The company initiated the "Civil Talent Program" in December 2024 to recruit and cultivate high-potential STEM talent from Indonesia, aiming to support their careers in Japan’s BIM/CIM sectors. The company is optimistic about accelerating the recruitment of motivated individuals ready to contribute to Japan's infrastructure challenges at the KapanJepan Fair.

At the job fair, in addition to BIM/CIM professionals, Human Resocia will also seek to recruit IT talent skilled in high-demand areas such as AI and cloud computing, with an overall goal of onboarding 20 individuals through the event.

Human Resocia intends to scale its BIM/CIM talent acquisition and training framework across various countries, ultimately striving for a workforce of 1,000 construction engineers by the end of the 2027 fiscal year. This approach not only strengthens the availability of engineers for the construction sector but also plays a crucial role in resolving Japan's talent crisis and ensuring sustainable growth.

Insights About the Civil Talent Program

The Civil Talent Program is a proactive initiative designed to address Japan's domestic talent shortage by recruiting promising foreign STEM candidates and guiding them as "Civil (Construction, Architecture, Civil Engineering) Talents". This program includes an intensive Japanese language training program that spans about 8 to 9 months, developed in collaboration with the Human Academy Japanese Language School, which has graduated over 20,000 students. Utilizing the expertise gained from supporting more than 1,500 engineers from over 60 countries in securing employment in Japan, this program is pivotal in developing the next generation of BIM/CIM engineers.

Details of the KapanJepan Fair 2025

The KapanJepan Fair serves as a recruitment matching event between Japanese companies and Indonesian talent. Scheduled for November 22, 2025, at the 1O1 URBAN Jakarta Thamrin Hotels in Jakarta, the event focuses on a diverse range of job roles, including infrastructure personnel and those in the service sector. Approximately five Japanese companies, including those from tourism hotspots in Tokyo and Hokkaido, are expected to participate. For more details, visit KapanJepan Fair 2025.
