The company said BizReach again drove the group's results as companies maintained their appetite for hiring.

BizReach revenue increased 16.8% to 80,126 million yen. The company described demand for professional recruitment as firm and said active advertising helped increase the number of companies using BizReach to more than 23,100 at year-end, from more than 18,800 a year earlier. It also attributed part of the revenue increase to growth in the membership pool available for approaches from recruiters. The service connects business professionals, employers and recruitment agents through a membership platform specializing in managerial and specialist recruitment.

HRMOS revenue rose 78.2% to 9,289 million yen. The company reported 10,699 companies using HRMOS across all HRMOS-related services, while the prior-year count covered only HRMOS Recruiting, HRMOS Talent Management and internal BizReach by HRMOS; the counts are not like-for-like. Its average churn rate over 12 months was 0.48%. For the HRMOS services, the company uses annual recurring revenue, churn, the number of companies using the services and average revenue per user to monitor performance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24.4% to 63,995 million yen. The company attributed the increase in operating profit to gross-profit growth that exceeded higher personnel costs associated with workforce expansion and increased advertising spending at BizReach.
