Fullcast Holdings

What Fullcast Holdings does

Fullcast Holdings (株式会社フルキャストホールディングス) is a Tokyo-headquartered, publicly listed (TYO:4848) staffing and human resources services company founded in 1990. It operates a comprehensive workforce-solutions platform spanning short-term worker introduction (人材紹介), long-term personnel dispatch (人材派遣) for engagements of one month or longer, and a portfolio of specialized dispatch verticals covering drivers, senior workers, foreign nationals (including specified-skills visa holders), and licensed security personnel. The platform is further extended by HR-related business process outsourcing (雇用関連BPO), full business process contracting (業務委託・請負), and a job-advertising service.

The company distributes these services through a direct B2B sales model, reaching corporate clients via a dedicated hotline (0120-810-155), online inquiry forms, and 305 physical service locations covering all 47 prefectures of Japan. Operational scale is anchored by 123,405 registered workers and 768,900 annual matching cases across the short-term business-support operations of its group companies, with staffing lead times advertised as short as one day and a same-day salary payment option that the company reports can triple recruitment volume versus monthly payroll. The customer base is diversified across ten industry verticals including logistics, manufacturing, food service, retail, call centers, administrative work, events, transportation, agriculture, and security/cleaning.

Fullcast's revenue model is a mix of transaction-based introduction fees for short-term placements and recurring subscription-style revenue from long-term dispatch and BPO contracts, supplemented by managed-services revenue from full outsourcing engagements. Recent strategic activity — a capital and business partnership with Zenken (November 2025) centered on foreign human resources and marketing, a mutual cooperation agreement with AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings (November 2025) for large-scale disaster response, and a logistics seminar collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate (July 2025) — indicates an offensive pivot toward foreign-worker placement, government/institutional labor supply, and deeper logistics-vertical penetration.
