What BuzzJob does

BuzzJob (株式会社BuzzJob, also stylized as バズジョブ) is a Japan-based, privately held recruitment consulting agency headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. Founded on 1 March 2021, the company operates a two-service platform: (1) the core Buzzjob service, a recruitment and career-change support offering that matches job seekers with hiring companies via dedicated Japanese-language websites (buzzjob.co.jp for the corporate site and buzzjob.jp for the jobseeker portal), and (2) ONEサポ (ONE Support), an add-on module that delivers post-hire retention and employee development services to hiring companies after placement.

The company is a subsidiary of CyberBuzz, Inc. (a listed Japanese digital-marketing group), and its privacy policy formalizes joint use of personal data between BuzzJob, its parent, and affiliated group companies for recruitment operations. BuzzJob serves two primary segments — individual job seekers in Japan (career change, interview preparation, matching) and hiring companies (talent acquisition, retention, post-hire training) — and explicitly references SNS/digital-marketing-oriented recruitment through a 「採用SNSサポ」 service line surfaced on its public contact form. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and no revenue, headcount, funding, or named-customer figures are available in public sources.
