Job Journal Co., Ltd. to Strengthen Job Site "Job Journal Net" and Career Fair "Tenshoku Plaza" on 40th Anniversary

Job Journal Co., Ltd. will celebrate its 40th anniversary in July 2026.

Since our establishment in 1986, we have supported companies' recruitment activities and job seekers' job searches through locally-rooted job information services.

Even as the delivery method of job information has shifted from print media to web services, we have prioritized clearly conveying the appeal of local companies and providing opportunities for job seekers to find suitable work.

As we approach our 40th anniversary, Job Journal will further strengthen its job search support centered on our proprietary job site, "Job Journal Net."

We will also enhance collaboration with our employment and career change event, "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," where local companies and job seekers can meet directly, creating better encounters between companies and job seekers through both web and in-person channels.

As part of these efforts, on July 4, 2026 (Sat), "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza" will be held at two venues: Tsukuba and Saitama.

Strengthening our proprietary job site "Job Journal Net" on the occasion of our 40th anniversary

"Job Journal Net" is a comprehensive job site that lists job information for various employment types, including full-time, part-time, temporary, and contract positions.

Job seekers can search for job information by location, job type, employment status, salary, and preferred conditions.

On the occasion of our 40th anniversary, Job Journal will further strengthen "Job Journal Net" as the central service for our job search and recruitment support.

Going forward, we aim to create a service that makes it easier for job seekers to find suitable jobs by focusing on ease of use on smartphones, clarity of job information, ease of searching, and improving the application process.

Initiatives to improve the job search experience

In recent years, job searching has increasingly been done via smartphones, and job sites are required to be "easy to search," "easy to understand," and "easy to apply to."

"Job Journal Net" will implement the following improvements to make it easier for job seekers to find jobs that match their preferences:

1. Improving the ease of job searching

We will work on improving the search experience to make it easier to find job information based on conditions that job seekers prioritize, such as location, job type, employment status, salary, and preferred conditions.

2. Improving the clarity of job information

We will improve the presentation of job information to clearly convey details that job seekers want to know when choosing a job, such as job content, salary, working hours, work location, application requirements, and work environment.

3. Improving the application process

We aim to create a service that makes the process from finding an interesting job to applying for it easy to understand, allowing job seekers to apply smoothly.

4. Improving ease of use on smartphones

We will enhance the user experience to make it a job site that is easy to view and operate for job seekers searching for jobs on their smartphones.

5. Enhancing "Salary Search" data by job type and prefecture on Job Journal Net

In addition to job searching, "Job Journal Net" also offers "Salary Search" (https://www.job-j.net/pay/) where users can check salary data as a reference for their job search.

"Salary Search" is content that clearly presents salary data by region and job type, based on the job information listed on "Job Journal Net."

Job seekers can view average monthly and hourly wages by prefecture, as well as salary data by job type, such as sales, office work, retail, medical/care/welfare, drivers/delivery, and manufacturing/factory/warehouse.

Salary is one of the important factors in making a job decision.

By providing information that allows users to check salary trends by region and job type, in addition to job postings themselves, "Job Journal Net" is working to create an environment where job seekers can organize their desired conditions and easily consider jobs that suit them.

We will continue to strengthen how salary data is presented by job type and prefecture, and provide information that can be easily used in conjunction with job searches.

Phased promotion of AI-powered feature development

"Job Journal Net" is also undertaking phased efforts to add and improve AI-powered features to further enhance the job search experience.

By utilizing AI, we aim to improve the search experience and information provision to make it easier for job seekers to find jobs that match their desired conditions and interests.

As some features are currently in the development stage, we will gradually add and improve features going forward, aiming for a job site that is even more user-friendly for job seekers.

Supporting job searches through both web and in-person channels. Strengthening collaboration with "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza"

In addition to our proprietary job site "Job Journal Net," Job Journal also operates the employment and career change event "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," where local companies and job seekers can meet directly.

On "Job Journal Net," job seekers can search for job information online, and at "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," they can speak directly with company representatives to learn about job content and the work environment.

Being able to hear directly from company representatives about the appeal of a company and get a feel for working there, which cannot be fully conveyed through job postings alone, is a significant benefit for job seekers.

Job Journal will strengthen the collaboration between "Job Journal Net" and "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza" to expand contact points between companies and job seekers through both web and in-person channels.

On July 4, 2026 (Sat), "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza" will be held in Tsukuba and Saitama.

On July 4, 2026 (Sat), Job Journal will host its employment and career change event, "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," at two venues: Tsukuba and Saitama.

"Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza" is a live job-seeking and career change event where job seekers who want to work in the region can meet directly with companies conducting recruitment.

Job seekers can directly hear from company and recruitment representatives about job content, work atmosphere, working styles, and open positions.

By learning about the appeal of companies and the realities of the workplace, which are difficult to understand from job postings alone, job seekers can reduce anxiety before applying and find jobs that suit them more easily.

Features of Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza: Speak directly with company representatives

You can hear directly from company representatives about job content and the work environment, which cannot be understood from job postings alone.

Compare multiple companies at once

As it is a joint company information session format, you can interact with multiple companies in one day. This can lead to encounters with new jobs, not just in your desired industry or field.

Reduce anxiety before applying

You can directly confirm details about job content, working styles, and the work environment, making it easier to reduce anxiety before applying.

Consultation corners and seminars also held

Consultation corners for career change and job searching, as well as seminars on how to effectively utilize the event, will also be held.

Free admission, casual dress code, no resume required

As an event that is easy to participate in, it is open not only to those currently job hunting but also to those who are about to start looking for a job or want to gather information.

An opportunity for companies to directly convey their appeal

In recruitment activities, it is becoming increasingly important to convey the appeal of a company and its work environment to job seekers, not just by posting job information.

At "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," company representatives can speak directly with job seekers, conveying the work environment, job content, and the appeal of their employees, which cannot be fully communicated through job descriptions alone.

Job Journal will support companies' recruitment activities in a multifaceted way by combining job information dissemination on "Job Journal Net" with opportunities for real-life encounters at "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza."

Expanding recruitment support system through collaboration with related services

In addition to our proprietary job site "Job Journal Net," Job Journal also offers related services such as the job information service "Job Journal PLUS" and the recruitment management service "Entori."

Going forward, centered on "Job Journal Net," we will promote service integration with "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," "Job Journal PLUS," and "Entori," aiming to provide valuable services for both companies and job seekers, from job information dissemination to application management and recruitment support.

Our aspirations for our 40th anniversary

With declining birthrates, labor shortages, and diversification of working styles, companies' recruitment activities and job seekers' job searches are undergoing significant changes.

For local companies in particular, conveying their appeal and creating touchpoints with job seekers is more important than ever.

Leveraging the local recruitment support know-how cultivated over 40 years, Job Journal will create better encounters between local companies and job seekers through our proprietary job site "Job Journal Net," as well as web services, events, advertising operations, and recruitment support services.

Message from the Representative

Since our establishment, we have supported companies' recruitment activities and job seekers' job searches through locally-rooted job information services.

We owe our 40th anniversary milestone to the companies, job seekers, and local community members who have used our services over many years.

Going forward, centered on our proprietary job site "Job Journal Net," we will advance the creation of services that make it easier for job seekers to find suitable jobs, and we will support companies' recruitment activities in a multifaceted way.

Furthermore, through the development of AI-powered features and collaboration with "Tenshoku Plaza x Shushoku Plaza," we will create better encounters between local companies and job seekers and contribute to the development of local employment.
