New Recruiter Qualification Program Introduced by InterRace to Enhance Solo Entrepreneurs Skills

InterRace Unveils New Recruiter Qualification Program

InterRace Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is taking a significant step in supporting solo entrepreneurs—individuals working independently in various industries—by launching a new program designed to enhance their skills in the area of talent acquisition.

The new qualification, titled the “Recruiter Qualification Scout Practice Edition,” is the first step towards producing a new generation of Talent Acquisition Managers, whose primary goal it will be to improve recruitment efficiency in a rapidly changing job landscape. This initiative meets a critical market need identified during the rise of solo entrepreneurs, especially since 2017, and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote work has become the norm.

The core aim of this program is to address the challenges faced by businesses seeking reliable partners for mid-career recruitment. Companies often struggle to select individuals who not only possess the necessary skills but also have proven experience in the field. Until now, there has been a lack of formal accreditation for solo entrepreneurs specializing in recruitment, making it difficult for companies to ascertain their competencies.

InterRace’s mission, which centers around increasing Japan’s productivity through optimal human resource placement, aims to fill this gap. The company believes that by equipping solo entrepreneurs with certifications recognized in the industry, the recruitment process will become smoother, fostering trust between businesses and solo recruiters.

Development of the Qualification

The development of the “Recruiter Qualification Scout Practice Edition” was made possible through the collaborative efforts of BizReach Inc., a recognized leader in direct recruitment with the largest database in Japan. This qualification encompasses essential skills and strategies necessary for forming a talent pool, vital for successful mid-career recruitment.

As of July 2025, BizReach boasts over 38,100 corporate clients and 3.07 million members in its database, providing a robust foundation for the new qualification program. By leveraging these resources, InterRace aims to ensure that its graduates will be well-prepared to tackle the complexities of talent acquisition, including understanding market dynamics and developing effective scouting strategies.

A Response to Market Demands

The introduction of this qualification is part of InterRace’s broader strategy to develop further certifications encompassing a variety of skills, underscoring the company’s commitment to innovation in the recruitment landscape. The company recognizes the diversity of recruitment methods currently in use, including direct recruiting and referral hiring, and aims to empower solo entrepreneurs to thrive in this evolving environment.

InterRace will continue to foster new working styles that align with changing market demands. As a response to these developments, the “Recruiter Qualification” will empower individuals to not only understand but excel in navigating the recruitment field, ultimately contributing to the growth of businesses and the overall economy.

For those interested in applying for this qualification, pre-registration is now open. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur looking to enhance your skills or a business aiming to engage qualified talent acquisition partners, this new program promises to set a benchmark in recruitment.
