The story of ONE CAREER Inc. is a journey of transforming Japan's recruitment landscape, born from a vision to bring transparency and data-driven decision-making to a traditionally opaque industry. Established in August 2015 by Takashi Miyashita, the company embarked on a mission to address a fundamental challenge: the lack of accessible, reliable information for job seekers. In a world where choosing a career is one of life's most significant investments of time, the founders recognized that many individuals were making these critical decisions in the dark, often leading to regret after entering the workforce. They envisioned a platform that would empower both individuals and companies by democratizing career data.
From its inception, ONE CAREER set out to build a comprehensive career data platform. The initial focus was on the new graduate recruitment market, a pivotal starting point for many careers in Japan. They launched 'ONE CAREER,' a service designed to provide students with a wealth of information, including over 500,000 real-life job-hunting experiences and insights into thousands of companies. This platform quickly became an indispensable tool for students, particularly those from top universities, aiming to navigate the complexities of the job market. The company's commitment to an 'End-User First' philosophy drove them to continuously gather and visualize all kinds of job-related data, making it freely available. This approach not only empowered job seekers but also began to shift the dynamics of recruitment, pushing for greater transparency. As the company grew, it expanded its offerings, launching 'ONE CAREER CLOUD' to support the digital transformation of companies' hiring processes and 'ONE CAREER PLUS' to cater to the mid-career転職 market, solidifying its position as a comprehensive HR technology leader dedicated to creating as many unique career paths as there are people.
