Hirosaki's consulting company "Wondertail" (Dotemachi, Hirosaki City) started full-scale operation of the recruitment site "Koharubi" on September 17th.

"Koharubi" is a recruiting service that utilizes the functions of LINE. A mechanism to receive job information by registering and entering an official account by "adding a friend". Isao Kikuchi, president of "Wonder Tail," says, "The strength is the job information and consultation system closely related to Hirosaki."

After graduating from Hirosaki High School and Tohoku University, Mr. Kikuchi worked as a venture company after graduating from Matsushita Institute of Government and Economics, and served as a member of the Hirosaki City Council and a member of the Aomori Prefectural Assembly. “We opened Koharbi because we wanted to eliminate the mismatch between recruiting companies and job seekers,” says Kikuchi.

According to Mr. Kikuchi, many companies in Hirosaki currently publish job information in the same way as before, but young job seekers, mainly students, use smartphones and other sites to use job sites. "Hirosaki's privately owned stores and small and medium-sized enterprises couldn't disseminate information well because it was difficult to use the recruitment site due to their pocketbook," says Kikuchi.

"It is said that the number of students working part-time has decreased due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but many companies are worried that there are few people. If we can connect the two using LINE, which is widely used, the job mismatch will be resolved. It may be in the interest of the region. "

Mr. Kikuchi says that the experience of working part-time as a student often led to what he is now, "I would like to support Corona-stricken students who are in need without a part-time job." "In the future, I would like to make efforts to make new proposals for work that are unique to the apple industry," he said.
