Established in February 2010 by Yosuke Otonari, HowTelevision, Inc. operates as a publicly traded entity specializing in the career technology sector in Japan. The company's genesis stems from its founder's personal experiences with information asymmetry during his own job search, which cultivated the firm's core mission to unlock human potential by providing enhanced career transparency. Otonari's background in the Investment Banking Division of Barclays Capital and at the private equity firm Advantage Partners Inc. provided him with a foundational understanding of corporate and financial structures, influencing the company's strategic direction.
HowTelevision manages a portfolio of online career platforms targeting high-achieving students and professionals. Its flagship service, "gaishishukatsu.com," is a recruiting platform for new graduates that focuses on students from top-tier universities, with high penetration rates at institutions like the University of Tokyo. This platform provides company and recruitment information, internship details, and community functions. For mid-career professionals, the company operates "Liiga" (rebranded as gsskt NEXT), which supports skill and career development through specialized content, including columns and industry research. These services cater to individuals aspiring to work in prominent global and domestic companies, such as consulting firms, investment banks, and major corporations. Revenue is generated through corporate clients who pay for recruitment services, including job postings, direct scouting functionalities, and advertising.
The company's offerings have expanded to include several specialized services. "Roglio" provides recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) with a focus on sourcing engineering talent. Additionally, an executive search service caters to senior-level positions, and "mond" serves as a Q&A platform for knowledge sharing. HowTelevision went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market in April 2019, which provided capital for further investment in its platforms and personnel. The firm targets a niche market of elite students and young professionals, differentiating itself from broader job search portals by providing curated content and fostering a select community.
