HUREX

Hurex is a job placement agency that covers all 47 prefectures of Japan, focusing on regional (local) job changes as well as U-turn and I-turn moves. It serves job seekers looking to relocate or return to a specific area, and its registered candidate base is centered on the late 20s to mid-30s age group, with additional management-level candidates aged 40 and over. The site lists job specialties across a wide range of fields, including sales, accounting, legal/HR/general affairs, clerical, management/planning/marketing, technical roles (electrical/electronic/mechanical, medical/chemical/food, construction/civil engineering), IT engineer, web/media/game/design, professional (licensed/finance/real estate/consultant), service/food/sales, and education/childcare/logistics/purchasing.

For job seekers, registration is free, and the site provides free support including document correction and practical interview training. For employers, Hurex operates on a success-based fee model: the fee is 35% of the first-year theoretical annual salary per hired candidate, with a 50% refund if the candidate resigns within three months. The agency focuses on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and collects candidate data from major job sites, specialized media, and collaborations with local financial institutions, economic organizations, and academic institutions. Candidate information is managed by five specialized teams: sales, administrative/clerical, IT, technical, and executive.
