During FY2022, the company implemented new initiatives to capitalize on the growing number of active seniors in the Japanese labor force. This contributed to a 26.1% year-on-year decline in operating profit, to Y356 million ($2.5 million). However, net profit almost trebled, rising by 184% to Y195 million.
Founded in 2009, Career Co. generates most of its revenue from CareerSmile, a recruitment marketplace for nurses and caregivers. The company’s also operates Kyujin-door, a job site for middle-aged and senior workers.
