We are pleased to announce that Ties Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka city, Osaka, Representative Director: Eiji Hirooka, hereinafter referred to as “Ties”), a group company of ZIGExN Co., Ltd. and a specialized recruitment agency for manufacturers, has been awarded the Best Agent Award for the 2022 fiscal year by Kubota Corporation in recognition of its contribution to expanding career recruitment.

Ties, based in Osaka and founded in 2005, is a recruitment agency that has been dedicated exclusively to supporting career transitions within the manufacturing sector. Our approach includes a method called “Analog Matching,” where our dedicated consultants conduct thorough interviews with both companies and job seekers to ensure highly compatible job placements. We take pride in our high success rate in assisting professionals in transitioning to leading manufacturers and offering exclusive job opportunities that set us apart from others in the industry. As a specialist agency for the manufacturing sector, we provide tailored support and assistance to facilitate efficient career transitions for busy business professionals. 

We are delighted to announce that Ties has achieved the No.1 market share for mid-career hires among the recruitment agencies at Kubota Corporation, the company we support in recruitment efforts. This recognition acknowledges our outstanding track record and the quality of our placements. Out of approximately 40 carefully selected recruitment agencies, Ties has been awarded the prestigious Best Agent Award for the 2022 fiscal year. 

At Ties, our dedicated consultants carefully curate job opportunities that align with each individual’s values, including factors such as company culture and working environment, going beyond the candidates’ stated preferences. We strive to recommend “companies where individuals can find a comfortable work environment that suits them.” Additionally, we are committed to providing comprehensive post-placement support, including catch-up calls with our customers who succeeded in job changes after they have started their new roles. As a result, we take pride in a 92% satisfaction rate among our successful job changers. We share messages from these satisfied individuals on our service site as “Comments from individuals succeeded in job changing” delivering them to job seekers. In light of our recent award, we would like to present comments sent to the consultants who supported job transitions to Kubota Corporation. 

■ Successful Individual A 

“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the patient and thorough support I received through my first career change where I was completely clueless about the whole process. I had conversations with various agents, but I was deeply impressed by Mr. Nakamura’s calm, speedy, and precise advice, as well as his empathetic support. I thought to myself, ‘I want to reach my goal with this person!’ He always made follow-up calls before and after interviews, making it easy to prepare. Moreover, talking with Mr. Nakamura helped me relax. His continuous support, even following up with the company about things I couldn’t convey during the interview, was truly reassuring. I believe it was thanks to Mr. Nakamura’s support that I was able to secure the job offer. Thank you very much.”

“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support during this process. I was completely in the dark about my first job transition, but your assistance on both the technical and mental aspects was truly satisfying. (Thank you for the persistent interview practice!) Anyone who has Mr. Nakamura as their consultant can confidently move forward with their job transition activities.
