Revenue model

1. Commission on worker compensation: Timee charges employers a commission of 30% (excluding tax) of the total worker compensation amount for each completed gig. Additionally, a per-worker fee of 200 yen (excluding tax) applies per active worker per month (waived for second and subsequent shifts in the same month). There is no charge if no matching occurs. Payment is made monthly in arrears via invoice.
2. Long-term direct hire facilitation: Employers can permanently hire Timee-matched workers at no cost — no referral fees, introduction fees, or reporting obligations to Timee.

Core offering

Timee operates a two-sided mobile marketplace platform connecting workers seeking flexible, single-shift (スキマバイト) employment with businesses needing immediate staffing. Workers browse and apply to single-shift jobs via the app without resumes or interviews, scan QR codes at workplaces to clock in and out, receive same-day pay, and rate employers post-shift. The platform covers all 47 Japanese prefectures and includes an employer dashboard for posting jobs, screening workers, tracking attendance, and managing reviews.

The campaign unfolds through three consecutive events from April to August 2026, starting with an online kickoff symposium during Developmental Disabilities Awareness Week on April 3. The goal is to shift societal perspective from viewing disability as an individual issue to implementing environmental adjustments that allow individual characteristics to be expressed as strengths.
• NPO法人 みんなのコード (NPO Minna no Code)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 11 March 2026NPO Minna no Code is part of the CO-ROUTES campaign jointly launched with NPO ADDS, Connecting Point, and Timee during fiscal year 2026.

Direct peers

• Mercari Hallo (Halomega): Operated by Mercari, this was a Japanese spot-work / short-shift mobile matching app directly competing with Timee in the same SKU format (single-shift jobs, app-driven, no resume). Notably winding down - releases workers and demand back to the market, but represents the closest product comparable.
• Pause Inc. (Operates Shotworks / ショットワークス): Japanese spot-work (single-shift) job matching app - one of the closest direct competitors to Timee in the スキマバイト category, targeting similar SMB employers and short-shift workers nationwide in Japan.
• dip Corporation (Operates Baitoru / バイトル): Japanese HR-tech company operating Baitoru, the dominant part-time / full-time job-matching platform in Japan. While Baitoru focuses on multi-day/part-time hiring rather than pure spot work, dip launched 'Baitoru Spot' for single-shift matching, making it a direct competitive threat to Timee.
• TaskRabbit: US-based mobile marketplace (owned by IKEA / Ingka Group) connecting task-based gig workers with consumers needing short-duration services. Closest global product analog to Timee's spot-work marketplace model outside Japan, similar two-sided commission dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• Wantedly, Inc. Japan-based tech-focused recruitment and company-crowdsourcing platform (TSE Growth: 6551). Functions as a broad incumbent in Japanese job matching, targeting both full-time hiring and employer branding - adjacent to Timee's market with overlap in white-collar worker pools.
• Recruit Holdings: Global HR services conglomerate (TSE Prime: 6098) operating Indeed, Glassdoor, and Japanese staffing brands. Largest incumbent in Japan HR with comparable two-sided marketplace dynamics but at much larger scale; serves as the structural competitor / ceiling on Japanese gig-market consolidation.
• BizReach, Inc. Japanese executive-level recruitment and talent platform serving white-collar and managerial placement. Comparable as a Japanese HR-tech platform with two-sided marketplace dynamics and a corporate subscription / placement-fee model, though targeting higher-skill roles than Timee's spot focus.
• Persol Holdings Co., Ltd. Japan's largest pure-play staffing agency group (TSE Prime: 2181) providing temp-to-perm, dispatch, and HR services. Represents the traditional incumbent alternative to Timee's app-based model; competes for the same employer HR budgets but through agency intermediaries.
• Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. Major Japanese staffing and HR services provider (TSE Prime: 2181 group peers) offering dispatch and placement services. Serves as a traditional incumbent alternative in Japanese temporary staffing, competing with Timee for SMB and enterprise staffing spend.
• Indeed (Flex Services): Recruit Holdings' flagship global job marketplace with growing Flex / Indeed Workable short-shift and on-demand staffing offerings. Represents the international incumbent pivot toward spot-work, directly competitive to Timee's model if expanded in Japan.
