The company is mainly focused on recruitment services for legal and accounting/finance professions such as attorney, certified public accountant, tax accountant, among others, and management sector jobs, such as accounting, finance, human resources and general affairs, legal, corporate planning, among others.

Revenue from overseas human resources is based on the earnings of FourQuarters Recruitment, a consolidated subsidiary acquired in January 2024.

Revenue in the recruitment business increased 5.5%. Revenue in the media sales business was down 27.1%. Revenue from direct recruiting services increased 14.2%
