SMAHIRO and Obihiro Shinkin Bank will mutually match each other's job offer and job seeker information within the Tickle system. Both parties will work together on the following items.

＜Business collaboration

Obihiro Shinkin Bank will match job offers for management and executive positions with job seekers registered with Ticle.

Matching of private job openings held by Ticle with Obihiro Shinkin Bank's human resource bank.

Within 6 months of its launch, Ticle has approximately 100 registered job seekers, and the number of visitors to the site exceeds 40,000 PV per month!

Ticle's strength lies in its ability to disseminate information. In addition to original articles written by the Ticle editorial department, job seekers can freely distribute articles, videos, and other content. As a result, within 6 months of its launch, the number of registered users (job seekers) has grown to approximately 100, and the number of visitors to the site has exceeded 40,000 PV per month, creating new points of contact for prospective immigrants from all over Japan and job seekers in Tokachi.

■Executive personnel to support successors with a view to business succession and potential successors are in demand.

Obihiro Shinkin Bank obtained a license for fee-charging employment placement business in February 2023 to help client companies secure human resources. It began providing placement services in April of the same year. Obihiro Shinkin Bank is engaged in the placement business with a focus on supplying so-called "high-class human resources" such as successors to management and executives who support management, in order to support management issues related to "human resources," such as the "human resource shortage" faced by local businesses in establishing a stable management base and the absence of successor candidates highlighted in consultations regarding business succession. We are engaged in the placement business to support management issues related to "human resources," such as the absence of candidates for successors and successor candidates. In addition, we have formed alliances with major personnel placement companies such as "PERSOL HOLDINGS," "RECRUIT," and "MIRAI WORKS," and have established a system that can respond to a wide range of personnel needs.

What is "TCRU," a job matching web media that brings together companies and human resources in Tokachi?

https://tcru.jp

More than just a job site

TCRU is more than just a job site that posts job ads. It is operated by a web media company with strengths in digital marketing, so it delivers original content such as articles and videos that provide information sought by job seekers. This ensures that information is delivered to job seekers with whom there has been no previous contact.

API enables linkage with your own website.

Companies posting jobs can also approach job seekers by creating and posting their own content that describes the attractiveness of their products and services, as well as their employees and corporate culture. In addition, Tickle is equipped with an API (Application Programming Interface). This allows you to incorporate your company's information (jobs and articles) into your company's website and web media without compromising the design.

Start handling non-public jobs

Tinkle will start handling private job postings to meet the needs of management and executive candidates who cannot be publicly recruited, and to take advantage of this partnership with Obihiro Shinkin Bank. Companies wishing to post private jobs can do so by selecting either public or private jobs from the Tikkur administration screen. By making jobs available only to registered job seekers (company names and information that identifies the company will be kept private), companies will be able to match highly-serious job seekers.
