What Jinjer does

jinjer Co., Ltd. (jinjer株式会社) is a Japanese HR-technology company that develops and sells "Jinjer," an integrated cloud-based HR management platform consolidating HR administration, attendance tracking, payroll calculation, performance evaluation, employee surveys, expense management, electronic contracts, invoicing, and workflow into a single unified HR database. The platform serves Japanese corporates with multi-entity and multi-location operations, with named enterprise customers including Belluna (6,500 employees across 17 entities), Corona World (2,350 employees across 16 locations), Koorokuwa (6,000 part-time workers), and Mazda dealer networks. The company monetizes via per-seat SaaS subscriptions billed monthly, reaching more than 15,000 cumulative companies through a hybrid go-to-market of enterprise field sales, online self-serve, content media (HR NOTE, jinjer Blog), event marketing, and channel partnerships with financial institutions (Joyu Bank) and telecom resellers (NTT BizX Store). Founded as a back-office cloud service in 2015 under Neo Career Co., Ltd., jinjer Co., Ltd. became the independent operator on 2021-11-01 following a business transfer and is now headquartered at WeWork D-Tower Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo, with approximately 300 employees. The company's 2026 product roadmap — branded "HR Data × AI" — layers AI capabilities (HR Signals turnover prediction, Salary Revision Simulation, Mental Health Survey, Organization Diagnostic Pulse, CLOVA OCR receipt reading) on top of the single-database architecture, and the March 2026 acquisition of Talentio extends the platform into applicant tracking and recruitment. The company raised approximately 5.1 billion yen (~$380M USD) in 2022 with participation from Tiborne Capital Management and NTT Docomo Ventures, and holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification, Privacy Mark, and the highest Eruboshi women's advancement certification from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Workday: Global cloud HCM leader. Not a domestic direct competitor, but increasingly targeted by large Japanese multinationals and a benchmark for unified HR database architecture.
• Money Forward (Money Forward Cloud HR): Large Japanese SaaS incumbent with cloud accounting, HR, and finance offerings. Overlaps with Jinjer across payroll and HR administration but operates as part of a much broader business platform.
• Works Applications (HUE): Long-standing Japanese enterprise HR/payroll vendor with the HUE suite. A larger incumbent selling primarily to large Japanese enterprises, comparable in customer profile but broader in legacy footprint.
• SAP SuccessFactors: Global enterprise HCM suite from SAP, sold into large Japanese enterprises. Comparable in targeting large multi-entity organizations where Jinjer positions the Holdings Management feature.

Direct peers

• HRMOS (BizReach): Japanese HR tech suite from BizReach covering ATS, onboarding, and HR administration — particularly relevant post-Jinjer's Talentio acquisition, as HRMOS is a leading ATS competitor.
• SmartHR: Leading Japanese cloud HR platform focused on employee database, labor contracts, and onboarding — directly competes with Jinjer's core HR administration module in the Japanese SMB and mid-market.
• freee (freee HR): Japanese SaaS provider offering freee HR (payroll, attendance, employee management) within a broader finance + HR suite. Direct competitor to Jinjer, especially in SMB segment.
• HRBrain: Japanese HR tech provider focused on talent management, performance evaluation, and organization analytics. Closely comparable to Jinjer's evaluation and survey modules and increasingly competing in mid-market.
• SOBAL: Japanese HR cloud for large enterprises, emphasizing social insurance, payroll, and attendance. Comparable to Jinjer's HR-administration and payroll stack, particularly for mid-to-large Japanese employers.
• PUSH (PUSH-ON): Japanese HR SaaS targeting mid-market enterprises with integrated HR and labor management — overlapping product scope and GTM motion with Jinjer.
