WORK JAPAN unveils its new platform, designed to revolutionize job searches for international candidates seeking employment in Japan. This innovation emerges amidst a growing need for foreign workers to alleviate labor shortages in Japan, with studies indicating a requirement for up to 6 million foreign workers. The platform complements WORK JAPAN’s comprehensive suite of services, connecting international job seekers with employers actively seeking foreign talent. Beyond job matching, WORK JAPAN provides invaluable support to assist foreign workers in adapting and thriving in Japan, including assistance with finding housing, setting up mobile services, and gaining a deeper understanding of Japanese customs. This holistic approach ensures a smooth transition for foreigners relocating to Japan seeking not just employment but a fulfilling life.
Ankit Dhama, Media Contact at WORK JAPAN, emphasizes the significance of the new platform in enhancing accessibility and effectiveness for foreign job seekers in Japan. With an impressive 150,000 sign-ups already, the platform has demonstrated its positive impact on facilitating employment and supporting Japan’s economic growth.
Misa Matsuzaki, CEO of WORK JAPAN, articulates the company’s mission as empowering foreigners to excel in Japan, not merely filling positions. The platform embodies this vision by bridging cultures and fostering a community where everyone can prosper. WORK JAPAN sets itself apart by focusing exclusively on the needs of foreign employees, offering a multilingual interface and job opportunities meticulously aligned with their skills and qualifications. This strategy not only addresses the challenges posed by Japan’s aging population and low birth rate but also enriches the Japanese labor market by introducing a tapestry of diverse skills and perspectives.
