「A major part of derivative media is the recruitment media platform “Careerism,” which directs users to recruitment agencies that advertise on the platform. As the effective job-offers-to-applicants ratio deteriorated, recruitment agencies reduced their advertising budgets, resulting in a temporary sharp decline centered on the second half of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. Since then, the business has been recovering as the effective job-offers-to-applicants ratio improved. In addition, derivative media includes platforms such as “Uwaki Chosa Navi” and “Hito Sagashi no Madoguchi,” which direct users to detective agencies that advertise on the platforms. However, user acquisition has been adversely affected by an environment in which states of emergency and other measures were issued intermittently, requiring people to refrain from going out and restaurants to reduce their operating hours. As a result, revenue from derivative media was ¥226.616 million, down 37.4% year on year.」
