What Education Information Service does

Education Information Service (株式会社 教育情報サービス, "EIS") is a privately held Japanese Kabushiki Kaisha founded in May 2003 and headquartered in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture. The company operates a single focused product: "Juku Work" (塾ワーク), a specialized online job and employment matching platform serving Japan's supplementary education sector. Juku Work connects tutoring schools (学習塾) and preparatory schools (予備校) that are seeking qualified instructors with job-seeking teachers and instructors looking for positions at cram schools and prep schools. The platform functions as a B2B2C vertical marketplace dedicated exclusively to the cram school instructor recruitment niche, differentiating from generalist job boards through its narrow domain focus.

The company's go-to-market is a self-serve digital distribution model: tutoring schools post job listings and instructors search and apply through the jukuwork.com website, targeting SMB customers in the Japanese market. Revenue is generated through recruitment-related fees charged to educational institutions, structured as a marketplace commission model. The company has no disclosed partnerships, no acquisitions, no funding rounds, no patents or trademarks, and no disclosed management team in the available source material. Operating geographies are stated as the Kansai Region of Japan, though the digital nature of the platform likely supports usage nationwide.

With a registered capital of 10 million yen and a stated headcount of 1-10 employees, Education Information Service operates as a micro-cap, lifestyle-scale business centered on a single niche vertical marketplace product. There are no disclosed integrations, APIs, mobile applications, or technology stack details, and the company website copyright is dated 2018, indicating a minimal and largely static public presence.

Broad incumbents

• Indeed Japan: Indeed is the leading horizontal job search engine globally and in Japan. It competes indirectly with Juku Work by listing cram school instructor jobs alongside general openings, posing a competitive threat to a narrow vertical marketplace.
• Recruit Holdings: Recruit Holdings owns Indeed, Rikunabi, and タウンワーク and dominates Japan's online job-board market. It is a broad incumbent whose horizontal platforms overlap with Juku Work in the education/instructor vertical and could easily expand category depth.

Direct peers

• En Japan: En Japan operates multiple online recruitment platforms in Japan (EN-転職, Ambition, etc.) using a marketplace model. It is comparable as a Japan-focused online recruitment marketplace operator with self-serve employer posting.
• Bizreach: Bizreach runs one of Japan's leading online recruitment marketplaces for experienced professionals. It is a comparable business model (online marketplace monetizing employer/instructor matching) though operating in a different vertical.
• Wantedly: Wantedly is a Japanese online job-matching platform focused on mid-career professionals and a strong employer brand narrative. It is comparable to EIS/Juku Work as a two-sided online recruitment marketplace operating in Japan, though at much broader scope.
• JAC Recruitment: JAC Recruitment is a Japanese-headquartered recruitment firm specializing in mid-career and bilingual professionals. It is comparable as a Japan-based recruitment marketplace operator though focused on corporate professional roles.

Regional players

• Robert Walters Japan: Robert Walters operates a specialist recruitment business in Japan focused on professional roles. Comparable as a Japan-based online-and-offline recruitment services provider, though it targets a different specialist segment than cram school instructors.
• Daijob: Daijob is a Japan-based online job board focused on bilingual and global-mobility roles. It is a comparable online recruitment marketplace operator in Japan, though its segment (bilingual professionals) does not overlap directly with cram school instructors.
