What （株）エイチ・アール・シー・キャリア does
株式会社エイチ・アール・シー・キャリア (HRC Career Co., Ltd.) is a Tokyo-based Japanese professional services firm founded on January 24, 2014, that specializes in outplacement support for employees of corporate clients undergoing restructuring, mid-career dismissals, or voluntary separation. The company contracts directly with Japanese enterprises (including foreign-owned subsidiaries) to deliver career consulting, psychometric assessment, resume support, interview coaching, and access to a 24-hour coworking space to displaced employees, with the employer — not the individual — funding the service. HRC Career is structurally separated from the recruitment and staffing industry and does not operate placement or dispatch businesses, allowing it to maintain neutrality in job-seeker support. Its outplacement network spans 45+ locations across Japan, inherited in 2014 from Challenger Gray & Christmas K.K.'s Japan operations and expanded in 2018 through the acquisition of Randstad K.K.'s Japanese outplacement operations and the takeover of Challenger's western Japan business.
Beyond outplacement, the firm operates four adjacent lines: (1) organization development consulting covering HR project management, career design training, evaluation interviews, and corporate training; (2) a Ministry-designated career consultant renewal training program and exam preparation courses for the national career consultant qualification, delivered in Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama with scheduled fee increases from January 2027; (3) fee-based individual career consulting for the general public at ¥14,300 per 90–120-minute session; and (4) ancillary services including clinical psychologist referrals via the Re-Engagement Group partnership, free talent referrals to hiring firms, and meeting room / coworking space rentals at its Nagatacho headquarters. The company is privately held, founder-led by Representative Director Yoshinori Kometa, and holds JIS Q 15001:2023 privacy management certification relevant to its outplacement data handling. No revenue, funding, or external ownership disclosures are available.
