ムービン・ストラテジック・キャリア significantly increased revenue and profit in its high-end recruitment business, substantially improving performance in the interim period of the fiscal year ending December 2026. The company also raised its full-year forecast, supported by growing demand for AI consulting and an increase in career advisors.
ムービン・ストラテジック・キャリア operates a high-end recruitment business focused primarily on consulting firms, IT companies and M&A funds, benefiting from sustained hiring demand as well as growing demand for AI consulting. Its strengths include customer acquisition and support infrastructure such as its proprietary database and concierge desk, while increasing the number of career advisors is serving as a growth driver.
For the interim period of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue was ¥3,168 million, operating profit was ¥1,576 million, ordinary profit was ¥1,579 million, and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥1,036 million, representing substantial increases in both revenue and profit year on year across the board. The results exceeded the initial forecast, driven by growth in the number of career advisors and higher productivity per advisor. Although the operating margin was below the previous year’s level due to a change in the method used to record the provision for bonuses, the company explains that this resulted from a timing difference in expense recognition.
For the fiscal year ending December 2026, the company forecasts consolidated revenue of ¥6,400 million, operating profit of ¥3,030 million, ordinary profit of ¥3,039 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥1,987 million, representing substantial increases in both revenue and profit. Against a backdrop of growing demand for AI consulting and stronger hiring of career advisors, the company expects the number of job-placement engagements and the average fee per placement to continue growing.
As part of its growth strategy, the company is implementing a 3-year medium-term management plan through the fiscal year ending December 2028. Under targets of increasing revenue to ¥10,000 million and operating profit to ¥4,600 million, it is pursuing initiatives including increasing the number of career advisors, marketing through its proprietary database, improving productivity through the use of AI, and strengthening customer acquisition and capabilities through M&A, with the aim of becoming a lifelong career hub by maximizing lifetime value.
