Bizlink

What Bizlink does

Bizlink (株式会社ビズリンク) is a Tokyo-based private Japanese company founded in 2015 that operates a multi-brand AI-and-talent platform serving Japanese enterprises, growth-stage companies, IT freelancers, and individuals with disabilities. Its core offering is Bizlinkフリーランス, a placement marketplace connecting 15,000+ IT professionals (developers, designers, PMs, consultants, marketers) with enterprises on flexible contract terms, complemented by Bizlinkプロシェアリング — a subscription-based expert-sharing database of 4,000+ management and business-domain specialists. The company generates revenue through transaction fees on placements, subscription tiers for expert database access, project-based fees for AI services (Axel Lab PoC/co-development, Axel Academy training), and subscription fees for AISES, an AI-automation platform serving SES (System Engineering Service) companies.

Underlying technology combines proprietary talent databases with AI-powered matching and automation. Bizlink has built out a layered product portfolio spanning talent placement (Bizlinkフリーランス, Bizlinkキャリア), expert sharing (Bizlinkプロシェアリング), AI services (Axel Lab for LLM/RAG/MVP co-development, Axel Academy for generative AI training, AISES for SES workflow automation), and welfare employment (IT就労ビズウェル for IT vocational rehabilitation, Beスポーツ for e-sports-based vocational support for people with disabilities). Distribution is multi-channel: direct B2B enterprise sales, self-serve web portals, and partner platforms including DMM WEBCAMP (Infrastructure TOP), TaxSnape, Benefit One, H.I.F., and Freelance Board/Freelance Hub. The company operates from a 525 sqm Gotanda headquarters with regional offices in Fukuoka, Osaka, Sapporo, and Shinjuku, supported by two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Bizlink Career (recruitment) and Bizlink Wellbeing (welfare services).
