Ties, a Recruitment Agency Specialized in Manufacturing, Receives Hitachi's '2025 Agent Award'

Ties Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka; Representative Director: Ryosuke Imai), a Zigexn group company specializing in recruitment for the manufacturing sector, is pleased to announce that it has received the '2025 Agent Award' from the Talent Acquisition Department of Hitachi, Ltd., having achieved a 200% year-on-year growth rate in hiring performance.

Headquartered in Osaka, Ties has focused exclusively on manufacturing recruitment since its inception in 2005. The agency provides detailed support tailored to busy professionals, including 'Analog Matching'—where consultants conduct thorough hearings with both companies and candidates to ensure high-match job placements—as well as maintaining a high success rate for placements at major manufacturers and offering exclusive job openings not available elsewhere.

In this award, Hitachi highly commended Ties for its 'deep understanding of our business and recruitment policy' and its resulting 'consistent introduction of high-quality candidates,' which played a vital role in expanding Hitachi's mid-career hiring.

In particular, the 'Analog Matching' approach—a core philosophy Ties has maintained since 2005, involving deep intervention by consultants with both parties—enabled 'high-quality matching' rather than just volume-focused hiring. This resulted in a breakthrough achievement of 200% year-on-year growth.

Commendation Comment from Hitachi, Ltd. 'Ties Co., Ltd. has consistently introduced high-quality candidates based on a deep understanding of our business and recruitment policies. Notably, this fiscal year, you achieved remarkable growth, contributing significantly to the expansion of our mid-career hiring with a 200% growth rate in hiring achievements. Your commitment to engaging sincerely with each candidate to pursue optimal matching for both parties is a highly reassuring partnership for us, and we are very grateful. We look forward to creating even greater results through further collaboration.'
