Mirai Works

Mirai Works Inc. operates as a specialized human resources firm, providing professional talent to a diverse client base that includes business companies, consulting firms, and system developers across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and IT. The company was established in March 2012 by Shoji Okamoto, who currently serves as the President and Representative Director. Okamoto's journey to founding Mirai Works was influenced by his prior experience as an IT and strategy consultant at Accenture, followed by a role at a venture capital firm. A pivotal trip across all 47 prefectures of Japan solidified his desire to revitalize the country, leading to the creation of the company.

The firm's business model is centered on connecting companies with professional talent through various engagement models, including freelance, side-work, and full-time employment contracts. It generates revenue through fees associated with these matching services. Mirai Works has built an extensive network, boasting over 89,500 registered professionals and serving more than 7,400 client companies as of mid-2025. A significant milestone was its public listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Mothers market (now Growth) in December 2017.

The company's core offering is its Professional Human Resources business, which facilitates the placement of experienced, ready-to-work professionals to help clients accelerate business growth and project execution. This is delivered through several platforms, such as 'FreeConsultant.jp' for freelance consultants, 'Skill Shift' for side projects with a focus on regional contribution, and 'Glocal Mission Jobs' for regional転職 support. Beyond talent matching, Mirai Works has expanded its services to include consulting, practical reskilling programs, open innovation support, and sustainability management consulting, leveraging its extensive talent database and industry expertise to offer comprehensive solutions to corporate and municipal challenges.
