Japan's Leading IT Freelance Agent 'GEECHS JOB' Announces Evolution into an AX Support Platform

Geechs Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Toshito Sonehara), operator of one of Japan's largest IT freelance agent services, 'GEECHS JOB,' has declared its evolution into an 'AX Support Platform' to lead corporate AI transformation. We will create the AI era together with IT freelancers through three pillars: 'Launching an AI/AX Solution Team,' 'Qualitative Transformation of the Database,' and 'Creation of a Community.'

Geechs has operated under the mission of 'creating a new standard for work styles,' providing support for IT freelancers and matching services with companies. 'GEECHS JOB,' a specialized agent service, has a base of over 24,000 registered users and over 20 years of experience, forming the core of our business.

We realize that IT companies are at a crossroads due to generative AI. A survey by 'GEECHS JOB' revealed that while 96% of companies have started using generative AI, only 12% have achieved 'company-wide standardization.' The root cause of this 'gap between introduction and adoption' is not a lack of tools or budget, but an overwhelming shortage of talent capable of implementing AI on-site and changing the nature of development itself.

This wave of change is fundamentally altering the skills required of engineers. As coding becomes automated, skills are shifting from 'How to implement' to 'What and why to build.' Data from 'GEECHS JOB' shows a surge in demand for talent capable of handling upstream processes.

To address this, 'GEECHS JOB' will implement three changes: 1. Launching an 'AI/AX Solution Team,' 2. Qualitatively transforming the database to focus on AX consultants, FDEs, and PMs, and 3. Creating a community for these professionals. We are evolving from simple talent matching into a partner that accelerates AI implementation in Japan.
