A Recruiter Dishes on Why Restaurants Really Can't Find Enough Staff Posted: 29 May 2021 09:38 PM PDT submitted by /u/investorinvestor [link] [comments]

Long idea: En-Japan (4849 JP) Posted: 29 May 2021 10:47 PM PDT ​ https://preview.redd.it/vqmt0zte47271.png?width=1918&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc0125bba3e33e9e6960a3d49bac67bce09c33ee En-Japan (4849 JP) is a Japanese online recruitment company. It owns a large and growing platform for job advertisements, with a user-generated company review system that is the strongest in Japan by a factor of 10x. What makes the company stand out is its Amazon-like focus on doing what's right for the user - seeking long-term satisfaction not just for their corporate clients but also for job seekers. The take-rate for Japanese recruitment companies tends to be high (up to 1/3 of a yearly salary). On the other hand, the average Japanese switches jobs only 1/10 as often as the average American. This disparity will probably narrow over time. Also, En-Japan's user base is comprised of young professionals. The company will most likely be able to grow with its users as they age and achieve higher income. I believe that En-Japan's new Engage platform is a stroke of genius. Similar to what Shopify has managed to achieve in e-commerce, Engage enables En-Japan to "sit on the client" and dominate the market in an era of distributed job boards. The Japanese job market was hurt by COVID-19 but has now started to recover. Japan's ongoing vaccination program will accelerate this process. Full inoculation of the population is expected in early 2022. Management commentary is becoming increasingly positive. And there are clear precedents: job markets in the US and Australia now actually have more overall job postings than before the pandemic. Underlying growth in the domestic job board segment, recovery from COVID-19 and monetisation of the Engage platform is likely to bring operating profit close to JPY 20 billion by FY2025, implying an upside of +68% against assumed EV/EBIT of 12x.
