What Jinjibu does

Jinjibu (株式会社ジンジブ, ticker 142A on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market) is a Japan-based B2B services company that operates the dominant integrated platform for high-school graduate employment under the ジョブドラフト (Job Draft) brand. The company connects three constituencies simultaneously - companies hiring high school graduates, high schools and career-guidance teachers, and high-school students themselves - through a portfolio that includes the ジョブドラフトNavi smartphone job-information app, the ジョブドラフトTeacher management system, nationwide joint company information sessions (ジョブドラフトFes, 14 venues in 2026), work-experience events (おしごとフェア, 19 venues in 2026), a 3-year career-education curriculum (ジョブドラフトCareer), post-hire training (ルーキーズクラブ / ROOKIE'S CLUB), and second-career support for past high-school hires (ジョブドラフトNext). Distribution runs through 9 offices across Japan (Osaka HQ plus Tokyo, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sendai, Hiroshima, Niigata, Okayama, Kumamoto, Shizuoka) and the 高卒採用Lab content-marketing media platform.

The platform is monetized primarily via employer-facing subscriptions and event participation fees for high-school recruitment, bundled across advertising on ジョブドラフトNavi, event booths at ジョブドラフトFes and おしごとフェア, and the 人事部パック HR-support package now powered by Mikiwame AI organizational diagnostics and Schoo for Business learning content. FY2023 disclosed revenue was 1.517 billion JPY (per IR FAQ). The company is led by founder and Representative Director Sasaki Mitsuhide (佐々木 満秀), a high-school graduate CEO whose positioning around the slogan 'Dream starts at 18' underpins the brand's authenticity in this demographic. Jinjibu holds Privacy Mark certification (JISQ15001), has been awarded the METI Career Education Award (2023, Excellence Award), and was selected among 91 cases for Japan's Service Innovation 2025 by SPRING. In April 2026 the group launched a new subsidiary, 株式会社ジンジブキャリア (Jinjib Career), to extend into broader educational-pathway information services covering both employment and university-track decisioning. AI is currently applied only to internal sales automation (Immedio, June 2026) rather than as a customer-facing differentiated capability.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Recruit Holdings: Japan's largest HR services conglomerate, operating Rikunabi (new graduate recruitment), Indeed Japan, and a broad staffing portfolio. Recruit dwarfs Jinjibu in scale but overlaps in connecting employers to entry-level and career-change candidates, making it the most relevant broad incumbent reference point for Jinjibu's platform strategy.
• PERSOL Holdings: Major Japanese staffing and HR-services group operating doda, PERSOL TEMPSTAFF, and other placement agencies. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the employer-side services category where Jinjibu competes, though PERSOL's focus is temporary/contract staffing rather than direct-employment career education.
• Indeed Japan: Japan's largest general-purpose job-search engine and recruiting platform, owned by Recruit. Comparable as an employer-candidate matching layer in the Japanese market, though Indeed is a horizontal broad platform versus Jinjibu's vertical, high-school-graduate specialization.

Direct peers

• en Japan: Operates mid-career and new-graduate recruiting platforms (en, en-kyun, etc.) with direct B2B sales to Japanese employers seeking to hire in volume. Closely comparable to Jinjibu's B2B sales-led model and SMB/enterprise employer mix, though en Japan's segments skew more toward white-collar.
• Wantedly: Japanese recruiting platform matching employers with talent via company-profile-driven storytelling. Comparable to Jinjibu's employer-branding-led approach to attract candidates (particularly younger demographics), though Wantedly focuses on white-collar/tech roles and Sydney-style storytelling.
• Mynavi (株式会社マイナビ): Japan-headquartered human resources and media company operating new-graduate recruiting platforms, job fairs, and career-education media. Closely comparable to Jinjibu's combination of media properties, job fairs, and career-education content targeting Japanese entry-level job seekers.
• Disco (株式会社ディスコ): Specialist in Japanese new-graduate recruitment, particularly for technical and science-track students via events and matching platforms. Comparable to Jinjibu's focus on Japanese early-career entry-level recruitment, but Disco targets university technical graduates while Jinjibu targets high school graduates — a direct adjacent play.

Emerging players

• BizReach (株式会社ビズリーチ): Operates a Japan-centric recruiting platform spanning mid-career and early-career segments (including the HRMOS family). Comparable as a tech-enabled recruiting platform serving Japanese employers, though BizReach's salary-transparent model skews toward experienced hires rather than entry-level school-leavers.
