WILLCO Co., Ltd., whose vision is “To make all ‘work’ happy,” announced that it has concluded a “sales partner agreement” with Funai Research Institute, a management consulting company with expert consultants for small and medium-sized enterprises, effective July 1st.
This agreement addresses the structural recruitment challenges faced by the professional services industry, where there is work but a lack of personnel. Funai Research Institute will propose the introduction of WILLCO’s recruitment platform “LEGAL JOB BOARD” to its client professional service firms, thereby contributing to the development of the entire professional services industry by creating an environment where excellent talent can be attracted to top-performing firms.
Background of the sales partner agreement
Many professional offices, including those for lawyers, judicial scriveners, land and house surveyors, patent attorneys, and administrative scriveners, are currently facing a serious shortage of personnel. Despite a continuous increase in cases and requests, they are struggling to recruit qualified professionals and staff, and as a result, the very survival of these offices is often threatened.

At the root of this problem lies information asymmetry in the recruitment market and a lack of recruitment expertise. Even firms that provide excellent services and have growth potential are hindered by the obstacle of “not knowing how to recruit” and “not knowing how to communicate their appeal,” and continue to miss out on opportunities to acquire talent.
On the other hand, job seekers and those looking to change jobs often lack sufficient information about “what kinds of firms are available” and “where their skills can be utilized,” resulting in a continuous stream of cases where they miss out on the “good workplace” they were meant to find and end up leaving the industry altogether.
To address these structural challenges, WILLCO and Funai Research Institute will combine their respective strengths to find solutions. Through its LEGAL JOB BOARD platform, which specializes in professional services, WILLCO will provide one of the industry’s largest talent networks and a proven track record in recruitment matching.
Funai Research Institute will leverage its deep understanding of management challenges and proposal capabilities cultivated through consulting for professional service firms to support the planning and implementation of recruitment strategies tailored to the specific circumstances of each firm. By collaborating, the two companies will create a system that provides end-to-end support to firms that “don’t know how to go about recruitment,” from visualizing the challenges to concrete recruitment implementation.
