HR COMPANY

What HR COMPANY does

HR COMPANY株式会社 (HR COMPANY Inc.) is a Tokyo-based private consulting firm founded in November 2022 by Ryota Takayama, operating from Edogawa-ku with 8 million yen in registered capital. The company delivers four integrated service lines to Japanese enterprises and government agencies: HR domain support (organizational consulting, recruitment strategy, employee education, labor management, and HR system planning), marketing and sales support (digital strategy, SEO, advertising operations, and sales outsourcing), project management support (PM/PMO), and construction site coordinator staffing primarily in the Tokyo–Kanagawa area. Its primary customer base consists of large Japanese corporations — most notably Aeon Group, where the CEO spent over 10 years — along with major telecom carriers, listed Prime Market groups, major department stores, and government agencies.

The underlying technology stack is essentially non-proprietary: HR COMPANY operates as a people-driven professional services firm rather than a software or platform company. Its sole notable technical/digital asset is an original recruitment manga ("柴犬と一緒にいたら城を建てることになった件"), which functions as an employer-brand and candidate-attraction tool rather than as a deployable product. No SaaS, API, or integrated software offering is disclosed.

The business model is project-based, quote-driven professional services revenue billed under multi-year contracts, with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, leveraging the CEO's personal network from Aeon Group and referrals into decision-makers at large enterprises and government bodies. Customer concentration is high, anchored by Aeon Group relationships and a small set of named enterprise logos, and the firm is part of a group structure with ITキャリアアップシステム株式会社 (IT Career Up System Corporation), an SES/IT staffing entity under the same CEO, enabling cross-referrals between HR and IT staffing. No external funding, institutional investors, or revenue disclosures appear in the source data.
