What Levtech Co does

Levtech Co., Ltd. (レバテック株式会社) is a Tokyo-headquartered Japanese IT talent recruitment and matching platform, founded in 2017 as part of the Leverages Group (Leverages Co., Ltd.). The company operates a multi-brand portfolio addressing the full lifecycle of IT careers: Levtech Freelance and Levtech Creator for freelance/contract professionals in IT engineering and creative disciplines, Levtech Career for mid-career job changes, Levtech Direct as a scout-based job media platform, Levtech Rookie for new graduate placement, and Levtech Platform as a freelancer portal for project discovery and contract management. Underlying technology is a proprietary candidate database and job listing management system supporting dedicated-agent matching, with the company claiming 19+ years of accumulated IT talent data and 8,000+ IT company profiles.

The business model is a two-sided marketplace monetized exclusively on the corporate side: services are free for job seekers (freelancers, mid-career professionals, students), while revenue is generated from companies paying for access to candidate matching, job postings, recruitment support, and freelance engagement management. The go-to-market is sales-led, with dedicated agents providing personalized matching, supported by regional sales offices across Kanto, Tokai, Kansai, and Kyushu. Distribution is augmented through content marketing (Levtech LAB tech blog, Teratail Q&A developer community), SEO, IT job fairs, referral programs, and paid acquisition across Google, Yahoo/LINE, Meta, Microsoft/LinkedIn, and Indeed. Marketing technology integrations include Salesforce, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and Google/Meta advertising stacks.

Customer concentration is low, with 10,000+ corporate clients spanning IT/Web services, gaming, consulting, enterprise IT, FinTech, e-commerce, and HR/staffing. Scale metrics include 450,000+ registered users, ~20,000+ active job listings, and ISMS (ISO/IEC 27001) certification (registration CR_IR0266) for information security. The company operates solely in Japan with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding.
