Launch of 'Agent no Madoguchi for Engineers,' a Recruitment Consultation Service Specializing in Engineers

Agent no Madoguchi for Engineers

HIRED Inc. (Headquarters: GINZA SIX 13F, 6-10-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shunsuke Totsuka) launched its free recruitment consultation service specializing in engineers, 'Agent no Madoguchi for Engineers,' on July 6, 2026 (Mon).

'Agent no Madoguchi' is a free recruitment support service that allows consultations from the stage of 'whether to change jobs or not.' To date, it has been used by over 1,800 users within two months of its service launch.

Approximately 20% of users are engineers, and the service satisfaction rate is high, leading to the release of 'Agent no Madoguchi for Engineers' as a new specialized consultation service for engineers.

Unlike recruitment agents who introduce job openings with the goal of filling positions, this service allows for flat consultations from the consideration stage, such as 'Should I stay at my current company?' or 'Should I aim for freelance (self-employment) instead of changing jobs?' It offers proposals that include staying in the current role, without necessarily aiming for a job change.

Background of Service Launch

In recent years, with the acceleration of digital transformation (DX), the career options for IT engineers have become unprecedentedly diverse, including not only 'full-time employment' but also 'freelance,' 'side jobs,' and 'entrepreneurship.' Furthermore, with the government's 'Three-Party Labor Market Reform' and the promotion of reskilling, we are in an era where autonomous career development is strongly required.

However, while options have expanded, many engineers face the fundamental dilemma of 'Should I continue to hone my skills at my current workplace, or should I change my environment?'

Moreover, with the proliferation of numerous engineer-focused agents and project introduction platforms in the market, challenges such as 'I don't know where to register to find suitable projects,' and 'I want to consult frankly about whether I should change jobs or become independent in the first place' arise, along with 'concerns about choosing an agent' and 'how to think about future careers.'

General engineer-specialized agents typically have a business model where job changes and project participation are the goals, leading to consultations that tend to be biased towards 'project introduction as a premise.'

To address this 'lack of neutral consultation platforms' and the 'difficulty in selecting from a complex array of agents,' we have launched 'Agent no Madoguchi for Engineers' to enable engineers to objectively grasp their market value and pursue optimal careers.

What is 'Agent no Madoguchi for Engineers'?

This service is a free, engineer-specialized recruitment consultation service that allows for flat consultations starting from 'Should I move forward or stay put?'

Dedicated consultants who are current engineers will carefully interview each engineer about their technical stack, development phase, and career history, providing neutral advice that includes the option of remaining in their current role.

For those seeking a job change, we will introduce reliable and reputable engineer-specialized recruitment agents. The entire process, from consultation to agent introduction and subsequent support, is available free of charge.

Service Features

1. 'Completely Neutral' Counseling Including Job Changes, Freelancing, and Staying in Current Role

This service offers no biased guidance towards any particular option. Consultants who are well-versed in engineer trends will provide advice based on objective market value regarding whether one 'should pursue career advancement as a full-time employee, or become independent as a freelancer,' or 'whether one should gain experience at their current job.'

2. Introduction to Excellent Engineer-Specialized Agents

For those seeking a job change, we will introduce the most suitable recruitment agent. We carefully select agents with a high track record in supporting engineer careers, ensuring that only high-quality agents are introduced.

3. Support via LINE and Email Even After the Interview

After the interview, concerns regarding communication with agents, adjustments with each agent, and anxieties during the selection process can be freely discussed with dedicated consultants via LINE or email at any time. We have established a seamless support system that does not interfere with the busy daily development work of engineers.

Future Development

Moving forward, we will focus on further expanding our network of partner agents and consultants for engineers, while simultaneously strengthening the accumulation of 'evaluation data for agents by engineers.'

This will eliminate information opacity and create an environment where engineers can choose their partners with the greatest sense of satisfaction.

In the future, we aim to leverage AI based on this accumulated data to build a highly accurate algorithm that matches engineers' latent career aspirations and skill sets with the specialized technology domains and project attributes of individual agents, thereby growing into a 'new agent matching platform' in the engineer talent market.
