EXIT

What EXIT does

EXIT (legal entity: ENTRANCE株式会社) operates a consumer-facing resignation agency service in Japan under the EXIT brand, handling the end-to-end resignation process on behalf of employees who find the act of quitting their job difficult, confrontational, or stressful. The company serves Japanese workers seeking to exit employment relationships and bundles free career-transition support into the engagement, positioning the offering as a one-time, outcome-delivered service rather than an ongoing subscription. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company's websites (exitinc.jp and taishokudaikou.com), and the firm self-claims the No. 1 position in the Japanese resignation agency industry (退職代行業界No.1).

The product portfolio consists of two related offerings: the core EXIT resignation agency service, which executes communications and logistics with the employer on the client's behalf, and REBOOT, a content-media sub-brand that publishes interviews with public figures who have successfully transitioned careers and disseminates knowledge about resignation. REBOOT functions as a top-of-funnel content marketing asset and brand-building vehicle that supports the parent service rather than operating as a separate monetization channel. No proprietary technology, mobile application, public API, AI/ML capability, patents, certifications, or partnership ecosystem is disclosed in the available data; the business is built on labor-mediated service delivery via a web funnel.

EXIT is privately held, founder-led under Representative Director Toshiyuki Nino (新野俊幸), with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, headcount figures, or revenue figures. The only external counterparty disclosed is Rakuten Bank as the company's banking relationship. The firm operates exclusively in Japan; the website includes an English-language landing page, but no cross-border service delivery, foreign entities, or international investors are confirmed.

Core offering

EXIT is a Japan-based resignation agency (退職代行) service that handles the entire process of leaving employment on behalf of individual employees, including communicating the resignation to the employer, so the employee can exit their job stress-free. Service users are also offered free career transition support (転職支援). The company additionally operates the REBOOT media platform, which publishes interviews with people who have successfully reinvented themselves after quitting jobs and disseminates knowledge about resignation.

Product overview

EXIT operates as a single unified service combining a core resignation agency product (EXIT) with a complementary media brand (REBOOT). The EXIT service handles the complete resignation process on behalf of employees, while the REBOOT media platform supports the brand positioning by promoting positive narratives around quitting and providing career transition content.

Broad incumbents

• Right Management (ManpowerGroup): Global career transition and outplacement provider under ManpowerGroup, comparable in function to EXIT's career-change support but serving enterprise outplacement needs at much larger scale.
• Randstad RiseSmart: Tech-enabled career transition platform serving global enterprises, comparable to EXIT's bundled career support component but operating in B2B outplacement rather than direct-to-consumer.
• Recruit (リクルート) Career Services: Japan's dominant HR services conglomerate whose job-matching platforms and career services broadly overlap with EXIT's career transition support mission, though operating at vastly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Hito-yaku (ヒトヤク): Hito-yaku is a direct competitor operating in the Japanese resignation agency space, offering similar employee-side resignation handling and positioning around speed and reliability.
• SARABA (サラバ): SARABA is one of the leading resignation agency services in Japan, directly competing with EXIT in the same 'taishoku daiko' category with comparable pricing and service structure.
• Taishoku-Daikou Navi: A resignation agency comparison and service platform in Japan that aggregates competing daikou providers, competing with EXIT for the same end-user.

Emerging players

• Moeru Shigoto (燃える仕事) / JobChangeBuddy: Job-change support services in Japan overlap with EXIT's free career transition offering, providing job-search assistance as an alternative or complement to daikou services.
• Bengoshi.com (弁護士ドットコム): While primarily a legal services marketplace, Bengoshi.com offers lawyer-mediated resignation handling that competes at the premium end of the same employee-side use case EXIT addresses.
