Suke-Dachi and Nippon Steel Collaborate to Enhance Workforce Recruitment in Construction

Strengthening Workforce Recruitment in Japan's Construction Industry

In a significant move to address the workforce shortages in Japan's construction sector, Suke-Dachi, a leading construction labor matching platform, has partnered with Nippon Steel engineering company, Nippon Steel Tex Engineering. This collaboration aims to enhance recruitment efforts for construction companies associated with Nippon Steel Tex Engineering. With the construction industry employing approximately 5 million people in Japan, the sector faces serious challenges due to an aging workforce and a lack of new entrants, leading to a chronic shortage of skilled labor. In recent times, smaller construction companies have found it increasingly difficult to secure new talent on their own, prompting major contractors to step in and lend support in recruitment.

Background of the Partnership

Japan's construction industry is grappling with severe labor shortages as many seasoned workers retire, and the uninviting labor environment discourages young individuals from entering the field. As a result, there is a pressing need for cooperation between major players, like Nippon Steel Tex Engineering, and smaller partner companies to ensure sufficient workforce availability. Nippon Steel Tex Engineering, as part of the Nippon Steel group, is dedicated to maintaining safety and quality at construction sites, cooperating closely with many partner companies. This partnership with Suke-Dachi is a step toward fortifying these efforts, leveraging Suke-Dachi's recruitment platform to enhance the capabilities of partner companies.

Specific Initiatives Undertaken

1. Implementing Suke-Dachi's Services for Partner Companies

As part of this collaboration, Suke-Dachi will provide comprehensive support for the implementation of their job matching service, "Suke-Dachi Employees," specifically designed for the construction industry. The Suke-Dachi Customer Success team will work closely with partner companies, offering in-depth insights into service details, success stories, and implementation strategies, thereby aiding in effective talent acquisition.

2. Launching a Special Recruitment Page

Suke-Dachi will also introduce a dedicated recruitment page highlighting job opportunities specifically from Nippon Steel Tex Engineering's partner companies on the Suke-Dachi platform. By featuring the Nippon Steel logo on job listings, the initiative aims to capitalize on the brand's recognition to attract more candidates and improve hire success rates for these partner firms.
