What 株式会社求人ジャーナル does

株式会社求人ジャーナル (Kyujin Journal Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Japanese job-board operator headquartered in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, with a 6-person team. The company's core product, 求人ジャーナルネット, is a web-based, free-for-job-seeker job-board platform accessible via PC, smartphone, and iOS/Android applications, covering all 47 Japanese prefectures with 195,695 aggregated listings as of July 27, 2026. The platform supports multiple employment types (full-time, part-time, dispatch, contract, new graduate, agency/FC, and others) and 15 occupational categories, with keyword search and granular filtering by location, occupation, characteristics, and salary band.

The business model is a hybrid B2B/B2C structure: job seekers register for free and use features such as saved searches, application management, and matching emails, while employers and recruitment agencies pay for job-posting placement across the web platform, a weekly print free paper (求人ジャーナル / 求人チラシ), and WEB version services via the journal.co.jp domain. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-fee-style posting charges to employers, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company has expanded the product surface beyond the core job board into adjacent services: a driver-specialized sub-site (ドライバージャーナル), a paid career agent (転職エージェント), a premium membership service (PLUS), a salary search/comparison tool, an editorial content column, and a B2B industrial-physician staffing support service (産業医サポート). Distribution combines organic SEO, the web and app properties, a LINE official account, and retargeted display advertising delivered through Criteo and Yahoo, with job-distribution amplification via IndeedPLUS.

Commercially, the company has established multiple minor GTM and technology partnerships — including with Criteo, Yahoo, IndeedPLUS, エントリ～り, マッハバイト, and an HR Ads Platform — to extend reach and provide privacy-compliant ad targeting. There is no public listing, no disclosed institutional funding, and no parent company; the company operates as an independent private corporation under Representative Director 箱田好男. The technology stack is a conventional multi-channel web/mobile platform with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, proprietary models, or research output.

Direct peers

• Engage: Engage (formerly BizReach HOLDINGS) runs a job board platform targeting SMB employers with applicant tracking and job distribution. It overlaps directly with Job Journal's SMB employer customer base and free-papermobile employer products.
• Wantedly: Wantedly operates a web/mobile job board focused on mid-market and startup employers with storytelling-based listings. It competes for the same digital employer recruitment budget as Job Journal, particularly among younger Japanese job seekers.
• Indeed Japan (Recruit): Operated by Recruit in Japan, Indeed is the largest global job board and the most direct competitor to 求人ジャーナルネット in employer recruitment advertising and job-seeker search. Indeed is also a partner via IndeedPLUS, underscoring direct overlap in product and audience.
• BizReach: BizReach is a Japan-focused job board for experienced and managerial candidates. While higher-end, it competes for the same employer recruitment advertising wallet and operates a similar paid B2B listing model.
• Doda (Persol): Doda is one of Japan's largest dual job board + career agent platforms, comparable to Job Journal's combination of 求人ジャーナルネット (board) and 転職エージェント (career agent) services.
• 求人ボックス (Indeed): Indeed-owned Japanese job board aggregating listings across multiple sources. It competes directly with Job Journal for part-time, dispatch, and full-time listings indexed on Google/Yahoo! Japan.
• はたらいく (Recruit): Recruit's mid-market job board focused on local and regional employers, closely comparable to Job Journal's coverage of non-metro hires and its print-plus-digital SMB employer proposition.
• スタンバイ (Standby): Yahoo! Japan-affiliated job board aggregator that distributes listings across multiple job boards. It directly overlaps with Job Journal in employer recruitment advertising and SEO-driven job seeker acquisition.
• Townwork (Recruit): Townwork is Recruit's flagship free-paper-plus-web job board for part-time and local jobs, directly comparable to Job Journal's omnichannel model serving SMBs and frontline workers across all 47 prefectures.

Emerging players

• しゅふJOB (ビズリーチ): A job board and career agent service targeting housewives and women returning to work, an adjacent niche to Job Journal's stated emphasis on housewives and part-time candidates. Comparable in targeting flexible-work job seekers.
