「The integration and organisational restructuring of 7 core operating and functional companies in Japan in April 2021 created an organisational structure in which engineering and data science can quickly contribute to solving corporate clients’ issues, while building on the relationships with corporate clients cultivated by sales representatives.」

「Recruit Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of the company and the supervisory company for the Media & Solutions SBU, will integrate, around April 2021, 7 major core operating and functional companies that are wholly owned subsidiaries under Recruit Co., Ltd.」

「Through a management structure with a supervisory company for each of the 3 SBUs, the company will establish an organisational structure in which each business operates autonomously, while concentrating and strengthening its functions as a holding company and enhancing group governance, monitoring and other systems to achieve further increases in corporate value.」

「To enable each strategic business unit (Strategic Business Unit, or “SBU”) to promote business expansion in line with its business strategy by strengthening its supervisory functions, the company established SBU supervisory companies effective 1 April 2018, as follows.」

「To this end, since the fiscal year ended March 2017, the group has worked to expand business value through 3 strategic business units (Strategic Business Units, or “SBUs”): HR Technology, Media & Solutions, and Human Resources Staffing. To further evolve this structure, the group proceeded with organisational restructuring and launched a new management structure on 1 April 2018, under which a supervisory company was established for each of the 3 SBUs.」

「Through this restructuring, the company will establish an organisational structure in which each SBU operates independently and autonomously. At the same time, the company will concentrate and strengthen its holding company functions.」

「Regarding the group organisational restructuring, including the company split, disclosed in the “Summary of Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 2017 (Japanese GAAP) (Consolidated)” dated 12 May 2017 under “Significant Subsequent Events,” the Board of Directors approved the specific process and related matters on 27 September and 14 November 2017. The company disclosed that it would carry out group organisational restructuring to establish a consolidated group centred on its 3 strategic business units: HR Technology, Media & Solutions, and Human Resources Staffing.」

「To further strengthen these initiatives, the company changed its reporting segments from the former Promotional Media, Human Resources Media, Human Resources Staffing and Other businesses to HR Technology, Media & Solutions, and Human Resources Staffing, effective from the first quarter of the current consolidated fiscal year, because the above-mentioned SBUs became the units used by the Board of Directors to determine resource allocation and evaluate performance.」

「As part of this initiative, since April 2016 the company has been working to expand business value through 3 strategic business units (SBUs): Global Online HR, Media & Solutions, and Global Staffing.」
