Achieving 200% Year-over-Year Growth
and Being Highly Recognized for Contributing to the Expansion of Mid-Career Recruitment

We are pleased to announce that Ties Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka; Representative Director: Ryosuke Imai; hereinafter referred to as “Ties”), a group company of ZIGExN Co., Ltd. and a manufacturer-specialized recruitment agency, was recognized at the “FY2026/3 Agent Awards” hosted by Hitachi, Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Director, Representative Executive Officer, President and CEO: Toshiaki Tokunaga; hereinafter referred to as “Hitachi”) for achieving 200% year-over-year growth.

Headquartered in Osaka, Ties has been specializing in career placement in the manufacturing sector since its founding in 2005. Ties provides detailed support unique to a recruitment agency specializing in manufacturers, including its unique “Analog Matching” approach, which enables highly compatible job recommendations through dedicated consultants carefully interviewing both companies and job seekers, a high success rate in helping candidates transition to major manufacturers, and access to exclusive job opportunities not available through other agencies. Through these services, Ties supports busy business professionals in pursuing their career changes more efficiently.

For this award, Hitachi highly recognized Ties for its “deep understanding of Hitachi’s business and recruitment policies” and its “continued introduction of high-quality candidates” based on that understanding, which played a critical role in supporting the expansion of Hitachi’s mid-career recruitment.
In particular, Ties’s unique “Analog Matching” approach, which Ties has remained committed to since its founding in 2005, involves dedicated consultants working closely with both companies and job seekers to achieve high-quality matching rather than simply filling positions. This approach ultimately contributed to a remarkable 200% year-over-year growth in placements.
