Medical Agency

What Medical Agency does

Medical Agency Inc. is a Tokyo-based, privately held company (founded 2013) that operates POST, a Japanese-language rehabilitation information platform and media property, alongside Rehajob, a specialized job marketplace for physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and speech-language-hearing therapists (ST). The platform combines a content library (professional articles, expert interviews, seminar listings, clinical category coverage across orthopedics, stroke, sports, respiratory, pediatrics, and other specialties), a discussion board, and a job search engine integrated with employer-facing recruitment tools. The recruitment arm is housed in a sister company, PostCareer inc., which holds a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare employment placement license (13-ユ-311584) and provides free career support with dedicated advisors plus fee-based placement services.

The business operates a freemium model targeting the candidate side at zero cost while monetizing three streams on the employer side: (1) transactional job posting fees paid by hospitals, clinics, home nursing stations, and day care facilities; (2) recurring subscription revenue from a Premium membership product that bundles exclusive articles, videos, and events for individual practitioners; and (3) professional-services revenue from licensed, paid job placement. Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve product-led job board and content site (top of funnel via social, LINE, email, and seminars) combined with a sales-led recruiter portal and inside-sales career advisor team for mid-market and complex placements. All distribution and revenue is domestic Japan with no disclosed international footprint.

Named customers and job listings indicate a fragmented base of small and mid-market healthcare operators (e.g., orthopedic clinics, community hospitals, home visit nursing stations, walking-focused day care chains), and the company reports 616+ full-time job listings, 700+ total PT/OT/ST listings, and a 96% user satisfaction rate for its placement service. The company is self-funded with no disclosed venture capital, debt, M&A, or leadership additions beyond Founder/Representative Director Hiroki Wachigai and General Manager Mario Parra, suggesting a capital-efficient, niche operator rather than a venture-scaled platform.

Core offering

Medical Agency Inc. operates the POST platform, a rehabilitation information site and job marketplace serving physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and speech-language-hearing therapists (ST) in Japan. The platform combines professional content (articles, interviews, seminars) with the Rehajob job search and placement service, connecting rehabilitation professionals with healthcare facilities nationwide.

Product overview

Medical Agency operates a two-product portfolio: (1) POST (ポスト) — a rehabilitation information platform serving physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and speech-language-hearing therapists (ST) with articles, interviews, seminar listings, and premium content; and (2) リハジョブ (Rehajob) — a specialized job placement platform for rehabilitation professionals, featuring job search by area/profession/conditions, multiple employment types, and a Minister of Health-approved career support service for job seekers. The two products are tightly integrated — POST's job search links directly to Rehajob, and Rehajob's employer-facing recruitment portal is accessible through POST's main site.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• M3 Inc. Japanese healthcare platform operator combining physician media (m3.com), MR recruitment, and clinical decision support. Operates a content-plus-monetization model highly analogous to POST's, but targeted at physicians and pharmaceutical sales rather than PT/OT/ST.
• Recruit Holdings: Parent of Indeed Japan and operator of multiple Japanese job platforms (タウンワーク, フロム・エー, ナース専科). Recruit is the dominant incumbent in Japanese recruitment with massive scale advantages, healthcare vertical coverage, and traffic that POST must compete against.
• MedPeer (メドピア): Operates the leading Japanese physician community and information platform (MedPeer) with a similar content-plus-monetization architecture to POST. Comparable in model and approach, though focused on doctors rather than allied health professionals.
• Indeed Japan: Japan's leading general-purpose job search engine, owned by Recruit. Indeed carries a meaningful share of healthcare and rehab job listings and competes for the same employer recruitment budget as POST, though without POST's vertical specialization or content ecosystem.
• CareNet (ケアネット): Japanese physician information and community site with medical news, clinical content, and recruitment features. Operates the same content-and-community-to-monetization model as POST, applied to the doctor segment rather than PT/OT/ST.

Direct peers

• Medley (JobMedley): Medley operates JobMedley, one of Japan's largest healthcare job platforms covering doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and care workers. It is the most direct competitor to POST's Rehajob product, competing for the same Japanese healthcare employer job-posting wallet with a broader profession coverage.
• Quick (クイック / QlickJob): Operates クリックジョブ and other healthcare-focused job platforms in Japan, including nursing and rehab-adjacent roles. Competes with POST for healthcare employer recruitment budgets in a comparable vertical positioning.
• Nurse-Senmon (ナース専科) — Recruit: Recruit-operated nursing job platform with free job search and career support — directly analogous to Rehajob's model and target buyer, though focused on nurses rather than PT/OT/ST. A relevant adjacent comp for pricing and platform UX benchmarking.
• Leverages (レバレジーズ): Operates multiple Japanese healthcare and care-worker job platforms (nurse jobs, care-worker jobs, rehab-adjacent roles). Directly competes with POST for employer recruitment spend in the Japanese allied health and care-worker segments.

Emerging players

• Kiracare (キラキャリ): Japanese healthcare and care-worker job platform operated by Leverages, with a content-and-curated-jobs approach similar to POST. Comparable in business model and target employer base, though newer and broader in profession coverage.
