Market Share: Top 5 Temporary Staffing Services

by BBelew57 on September 29th, 2007

The employment for life is a myth anymore in Japan.

Last year, the domestic temporary staffing market jumped 40% from the previous year to 3.5 trillion yen ($30 billionish).

Japanese companies, with workers in short supply, have turned to temporary staffing services to hire workers to cope with the economic upturn. (Thanks, China!)

Deregulation of the industry was also a contributer.

Staffing agencies that focus on back-office jobs saw a deline in their market shares but posted higher revenues.

The top five temporary staffing agencies:

5  Recruit group 5.8  -1.7 
Domestic sales revenue: 3.5 trillion yen (up 40%)
