President
In 2011, when we first founded our company under the banner of "IT talent recruitment specialists," those that employed our services were primarily clients specializing in IT from the Web and Gaming sectors. Subsequently, major trends such as the widespread adoption of smartphones and the promotion of digital transformation (DX) reshaped the playing field, bringing about an era in which IT talents are essential not only for industries specializing in IT, but for organizations across all industries. I am inclined to believe that as the population of talent with professional skills grows and society as a whole becomes more adept at strategic employee placement, we are well positioned to support the advancement of every industry in terms of IT talent.
Now, even though we have entered into an era marked by various material changes as driven by AI, having the opportunity to interact with a wide range of workplaces through the task of IT recruitment, my opinion is that we are still far off from the point of "human jobs being replaced by AI." It is not AI itself that is in demand. What is in demand from every company is IT talent who can harness AI effectively to maximize results. Looking beyond AI, we will continue to advance our business by focusing on introducing the "talent" that develops technology to move society forward.
Since our founding, Geekly has remained steadfast in our commitment to enhancing "selection quality" for both the companies and the people. The most important factor in enhancing selection quality, above all, is ensuring that a sufficient range of options is available. Through thoroughly gathering an expansive directory of candidate companies and candidate job applicants under the banner of "IT specialization," we are able to offer a sufficient selection of options to both companies and people.
Furthermore, when it comes to major decision-making prospects such as hiring or recruitment, we are committed to providing information to make confident, satisfying choices, and strive to ensure high-quality selections. While we ourselves are actively promoting the use of AI in our own tasks, enhancing "selection quality" ultimately requires a deep understanding of the unique context behind the choices of each person and each company. This requires a level of human potential that exists in a whole other dimension outside of AI-driven efficiency. Even as technology advances and the type of talent that is in demand changes, Geekly will continue to polish the expertise and performance capabilities that serve as the value that made our partners choose us, and will remain dedicated to contributing to the realization of a society rich with growth opportunities.
