Hackazouk Co., Ltd., led by Group CEO Hitoshi Suzuki, has made a significant move in its mission to strengthen alumni relations by opening an office in Osaka on June 16, 2025. This marks the firm's first expansion outside of Tokyo, driven by a surge in demand from companies in the Kansai region looking to implement their 'Official Alumni' service.
Meeting Growing Demand
The establishment of the Osaka office comes as an increasing number of firms in the Kansai area begin to recognize the value of maintaining connections with their alumni, rather than concluding those relationships at the time of employee departures. In a labor market characterized by job mobility and diverse working styles, the approach of focusing on continuous interaction with former employees is gaining traction. Hackazouk aims to offer localized support to these firms, ensuring that they can leverage their alumni networks effectively.
Recruitment Push for the Osaka Office
To facilitate this new venture, Hackazouk is actively hiring. The plan for the first year includes recruiting at least five team members who will play crucial roles in establishing the office. This represents a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a new market focused on alumni relations and tackling the societal challenge of reducing losses associated with employee turnover. The recruitment is open for various positions, including enterprise sales and consulting roles.
