KOSAIDO HR VIETNAM

What KOSAIDO HR VIETNAM does

KOSAIDO HR VIETNAM COMPANY LIMITED is the Vietnam-based human resources arm of Kosaido Holdings Group (Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime listed, security code 7868), established in 2013 as the group's first overseas HR business. The firm operates as a one-stop HR services provider focused exclusively on Japanese companies operating in Vietnam, offering recruitment and job placement, corporate training, aptitude testing via its exclusive Vietnam distribution rights to the Uchida-Kraepelin (内田クレペリン) language-independent psychometric, and HR/welfare consulting. Service delivery combines experienced Japanese consultants handling client engagements with Vietnamese recruiters performing candidate search, supported by the firm's job-portal website.

The company's product surface is complemented by two wholly-owned group subsidiaries operating within Vietnam: Yuki Japanese Center (Nhat Linh Training and Trading Co., Ltd.), which delivers Japanese-language education to Vietnamese learners and joined the Kosaido Group in 2015, and ZEN Foreign Language Education Center (Zen Company Limited), which provides Vietnamese and English language instruction to Japanese expatriates and was acquired by KOSAIDO HR Vietnam in 2017. Together these entities create an integrated ecosystem spanning candidate sourcing, language readiness, and assessment for Japanese-affiliated employers across manufacturing, IT, service, and construction verticals.

The firm is headquartered in Hanoi at 15F Coninco Tower with a second office in Ho Chi Minh City (District 1), and is led by President and Representative Director Kentaro Ozawa (小澤研太郎). The underlying business model is professional services billing for contingent placement, training, and testing engagements with corporate clients, executed through direct enterprise field sales to Japanese firms in Vietnam. No public revenue figures, funding activity, or pricing disclosures are available, and the firm reports a headcount on the order of 60-73 staff including part-time personnel.
