What 株式会社廣済堂ビジネスサポート does

Kosaido Business Support (株式会社廣済堂ビジネスサポート) is a Tokyo-based wholly-owned subsidiary of Kosaido Holdings Co., Ltd. — a publicly listed group on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime market with over 40 years of operating history in human resources services. The subsidiary operates two business segments: Global Human Resources Services and IT Human Resources Services. The Global segment, anchored by the KosaidoGlobal sub-brand, provides foreign worker recruitment, placement, and retention support across all 47 Japanese prefectures, with particular emphasis on Specified Skills (特定技能) and Engineer/Skilled Worker visa categories for industries including manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, transportation, and care. Pre-arrival training is conducted in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. The IT segment encompasses SES (System Engineering Service), dispatch, paid referral, direct hire, and freelance engineering placement, with the CareeFun! platform providing IT freelancers access to over 10,000 project listings (approximately 80% unpublished) across 300+ enterprise clients.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services and transactional placement fees tied to enterprise client engagements; pricing is quote-based for corporate clients and free at the point of registration for individual freelancers. The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for global talent and large IT staffing contracts with a self-serve product-led growth motion through CareeFun! for freelance engineers, supplemented by industry-targeted seminars (hotels, logistics, IT) and a developing partnership channel through Vietnamese universities and Japanese driving schools. Notable strategic additions include a credit-credited 18-month internship program with Vietnam National Vin University (summer 2026), MOUs with Mihara Driving School for residential driver licensing (including large-vehicle Class 2), and the Ohana Housekeeping sub-brand for residential cleaning services. In September 2025 the company absorbed Kosaido HR Solutions in a group-internal merger. Certified to JIS Q 15001 (Privacy Mark) for personal information management and operates from Minato-ku, Tokyo, alongside a wholly-owned Vietnamese subsidiary (Kosaido HR Vietnam Co., Ltd., established 2013).
