What Career Design IT Partners does

Career Design IT Partners (type IT派遣) is a Japan-based IT and web professional staffing and dispatch agency, founded in 2013 and operating primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The firm dispatches IT engineers, web developers, network/infrastructure specialists, and digital creative professionals (designers, producers, directors) to client companies on fixed-term (有期雇用派遣, up to 3 years), indefinite-term (無期雇用派遣), and introduction-based (紹介予定派遣, up to 6-month trial) arrangements. It is operated as a brand under Career Design Center Co., Ltd. (株式会社キャリアデザインセンター, TYO:2410), a publicly listed Japanese comprehensive human resources services company whose portfolio includes the type.jp and 女の転職type employment media brands.

The company's core product is a web-based staffing matching platform accessible via the it-partners.type.jp portal, where job seekers register through MyPage, search 1,500+ active job listings organized by Tokyo ward, job category, and work-style features (remote, no-experience, large-company), and apply for positions. Underlying technology is a standard job search and registration engine without documented public API or third-party integrations. Career coordinators with IT/Web industry expertise provide personalized candidate matching and same-day placement capabilities, distinguishing the firm from longer-lead competitors.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee dispatch arrangements: client companies pay fees based on dispatched workers' hourly rates (e.g., ¥1,580-1,930 for general office work; ¥2,200-3,830 for IT engineers), working hours, and contract duration. The firm serves enterprise and mid-market clients across software/communications, internet services, online advertising, manufacturing, retail, entertainment, and gaming verticals. Customer acquisition leverages direct sales to corporate HR/management, supplemented by SEO-optimized job pages, content marketing through the 派遣コラム (Dispatch Column), email newsletters, and a friend-referral program offering Amazon gift cards. The firm benefits from the parent's 4 million registered users across the type ecosystem and over 30,000 cumulative corporate transactions group-wide.
