What Push on does

Push on Inc. (株式会社プッシュオン) is a privately held Japanese staffing and immigration services firm founded on February 1, 2012 in Tokyo, with 1–10 employees and ¥15,000,000 in registered capital. The company is specialized in the Specified Skilled Worker (特定技能) visa category, operating a matching platform branded as 特定技能ナビ®️ (Tokuteigino Navi) at tokuteigino.work that connects Japanese employers with foreign workers, and providing complementary visa application support and registered support organization services required under Japan's Specified Skills framework. The company holds two key regulatory credentials — an employment placement business permit (13-ユ-310083) and a registered support organization registration (19登-000043) — that together define its operating scope and create barriers to entry in this niche.

The core product, Tokuteigino Navi, is a domain-specific matching channel rather than a general-purpose job board, paired with human-led visa application and ongoing support services. Revenue is generated through placement fees charged to Japanese client companies (transaction-fee model), professional-services fees for visa applications, and managed-services revenue from ongoing support obligations to placed foreign workers. A secondary line provides computer systems and software development consulting, leveraging Representative Director Toshiro Nakajima's prior senior roles at Microsoft Corporation and ACCESS Co., Ltd.

Go-to-market is exclusively sales-assisted via the company's website contact form, with no disclosed self-serve channel, paid marketing, or partnership distribution. The company operates from a single office in Tokyo's Minato-ku waterfront district (Bayside Takejima building) and is currently scoped to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As of the most recent website refresh in September 2024, the company is operating actively but at small scale, with no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, or revenue figures.
