Leapy Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture; CEO: Satoshi Kawaguchi; hereinafter 'the company') announced that its recruitment outsourcing support service, 'Leap Recruiting,' has surpassed 1,000 cumulative applications from client companies as of June 2026. This service supports every stage of the hiring process—from web marketing and applicant communication to first-round interview delegation—without relying on job ads. It has successfully addressed the challenge of zero applications faced by regional companies and delivered results across diverse industries, including manufacturing, construction, transportation, food production, furniture, printing, and services. Recognized as an 'asset-based recruitment' model that builds sustainable hiring systems and expertise, the service has received numerous renewal contracts from satisfied clients.
Over 1,000 Applications and Recruitment Challenges Faced by Regional Companies
As labor shortages intensify, 'recruitment' has become a core business challenge for regional SMEs. In consultations with our company, hiring-related concerns vastly outnumber sales issues, with frequent feedback such as 'we post job ads but receive zero applications.' Leap Recruiting was launched in 2024 as a full-service solution that handles everything from candidate sourcing to selection without depending on job advertisements. As a result, the total number of applications across supported companies has exceeded 1,000, proving that even regional businesses can consistently attract applicants.

Leap Recruiting assigns specialized teams to manage each phase of the recruitment process, enabling company HR staff to focus on core selection and organizational development.

Unique Recruitment Outsourcing Support: Expanding Results Across Industries and Increasing Renewal Rates
Leap Recruiting supports companies across diverse sectors, including startups, manufacturing, construction, transportation, food production, furniture/interior, printing/design, and IT/services. In regional manufacturing and construction industries—where labor shortages are particularly severe—some clients have secured multiple applicants within one month of posting. In logistics and transportation, roles that previously received zero applications have led to multiple interviews. Based on these results, many client companies have renewed their contracts, continuing and strengthening their recruitment efforts.
Another key feature is our asset-based DX support model, which builds lasting 'systems' and 'know-how' rather than relying on temporary advertising. This approach is highly valued as it allows recruitment activities to become a long-term asset for the company. As a result, businesses can sustain their hiring efforts independently even after the support period ends.

Then, we combine services such as recruitment website creation, recruitment outsourcing (Leap Recruiting), employer branding support, recruitment tool development, and 'Leap Career'—a scout-based talent introduction service focused on high-potential professionals—to deliver customized recruitment strategies.
