Fines Expands Its Horizon in Talent Acquisition through M&A

Fines Inc. (located in Minato, Tokyo, CEO: Yukimasa Miwa) has announced the acquisition of shares in two recruitment firms, Opura and Nexil, bringing them under its umbrella as subsidiaries. This move is part of Fines' strategy to provide more inclusive solutions addressing the challenges companies face in acquiring talent.

A Shift Towards Comprehensive Solutions

Historically, Fines has positioned itself as a Marketing DX company that offers comprehensive solutions centered around video engagement. The newly defined purpose, "Leveraging technology for the future of companies and communities," emphasizes its commitment to adapting to the diverse needs of society and the challenges businesses encounter.

Challenges in Talent Acquisition for SMEs

As of 2025, Fines has focused on enhancing the economic foundation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by offering video-based solutions to tackle significant themes like "securing talent," "improving productivity," and "expanding orders." Among these, securing talent has emerged as a chronic and serious business risk for many SMEs.

High Synergy through Customer Matching

With the acquisition of Opura and Nexil, Fines extends its services beyond merely communicating a company's appeal. Now, it aims to bolster recruitment success by merging its customer base—primarily from the construction and service sectors—with the recruitment strengths of the two acquired firms. This synergy will enable a mutual customer referral system between the firms, facilitating a streamlined approach from brand awareness to applicant acquisition and onboarding.

Expanding its operational areas aims to address persistent and severe talent acquisition challenges, thereby reducing the managerial risks that client companies face and enhancing their problem-solving capabilities.

Furthermore, Fines plans to leverage its extensive know-how in video-based promotional activities to bolster the applicant platforms of both subsidiaries. The integration of AI will also promote operational efficiency and boost productivity, addressing not only recruitment problems but also societal challenges like the decreasing number of young talents and the diversifying needs of job seekers. By creating optimal matching opportunities for both talent and companies, Fines aims to contribute to a sustainable employment environment.
