PERSOL Group originated from "Tempstaff" (currently PERSOL TEMPSTAFF) was established in 1973 by founder Yoshiko Shinohara at Roppongi in Tokyo for women who lacked working opportunities despite having the ability and desire to work.

Since then, with a corporate philosophy of "Providing Opportunity, Individual Growth and Social Contribution", PERSOL Group has grown through M&A and business integrations. After many companies with the same minds joined the Group, the businesses have expanded from a temporary staffing business, its origin to the "doda" branded placement and job advertisement, designing/R&D and IT outsourcing businesses, etc.

The PERSOL Group offers total solutions for labor/employment issues, such as HR services which connect job seekers to corporations.

Corporations have various personnel affairs to do, such as the hiring of new graduates, part-timers, casual workers, mid-career entrants and executives, employee development and evaluation, the designing of personnel systems, and the payment of remuneration.
There is a need to outsource all or part of these processes for the purpose of work efficiency enhancement.

In the meantime, people seeking jobs have various issues. They want to find jobs after graduation. They want to find new jobs. They want to find jobs near their homes as they have children or families who need care. They are not willing to work on a full-time basis, but want to work on flexible schedules, such as three hours a day or three days a week. They want to return to their hometowns and contribute to the local communities. They want to work overseas. "Work" in a stage of life comes with various issues, and these issues change within the context of each stage of life.

HR services play the role of intermediary and connector between these corporations and job seekers.
One of the strengths which the PERSOL Group has over other HR service companies is the broad lineup of services which can support each individual's "work" throughout their life. Individuals can use our service "Sharefull" to find casual work opportunities, use "doda" to find new jobs, or choose to register themselves with “PERSOL TEMPSTAFF” as temporary staffs.

The PERSOL RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, a research institute operated by the PERSOL Group, estimates that while the number of people employed is expected to increase by 2035, there will be a shortage of 17.75 million hours of labor per day (equivalent to 3.84 million people), and the degree of seriousness of the labor shortage will be roughly twice the level of 2023*.

On the other hand, while technological innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will lead to make some jobs unnecessary in the future, their effective utilization also holds the potential for significant efficiency improvements, resulting in a constantly evolving employment landscape.

On the back of structural labor shortage in Japan, HR businesses are experiencing substantial demand. PERSOL Group has actively expanded its business.
