We use technology to solve the social issue of structural distortions that impede optimal choices.
In selecting business domains, we have important criteria: the potential to have a significant impact on society and the possibility to become “the next common.” We will continue to pursue solutions to social issues related to major life decisions, such as work and housing.

Three business themes based on our business philosophy

Of these, Machbaito (formerly known as Jobsense), which is the founding business, accounts for the majority of sales and has the largest number of personnel. Tenshoku Kaigi and Tenshoku Draft also contribute to profits, and the three businesses are the pillars of earnings at Livesense.

Eliminate mismatch between Job applicant and job openings
The process of searching for and starting a part-time job often involves inefficiencies, such as difficulties in finding suitable job openings or repeatedly applying and interviewing due to mismatched conditions. On the employer side, it is also common for companies to struggle with achieving expected hiring results despite the costs incurred.Machbaito provides job applicants with a fast and personalized job search experience using proprietary algorithms. For employers, it offers a range of listing options tailored to different hiring needs, ensuring cost-effective recruitment. By creating efficient and optimal matches, Machbaito contributes to revitalizing the part-time job market.

Eliminate information asymmetries and mismatches in job changes
When Tenshoku Kaigi was launched in 2010, social media was not as prevalent in society as it is today, and there were only limited means to learn about what things were like at a company. Believing that asymmetric information in the job search process was a factor in the mismatches that occur when changing jobs, Tenshoku Kaigi has supported job applicants’ information gathering and decision-making by collecting and publishing company reviews as real information that is not available in what is officially published. Now that information gathering by means of reviews has become commonplace, in addition to reviews, information such as official company information, job openings, and information sent out by the company is also being enhanced on the site. Tenshoku Kaigi seeks to help more people achieve a satisfying job change.

Building a world where opportunities empower individuals to expand their careers
In recent years, the career paths of IT engineers have become increasingly complex, driven by the rise of generative AI and deep tech, which demand a diverse range of skills. As individuals navigate their careers, adapting to market and technological changes and selecting the right opportunities have become more critical. However, many engineers face obstacles such as unclear career paths and a lack of role models, highlighting the growing need for tailored career development within the IT engineering field. Tenshoku Draft addresses these challenges by leveraging its expertise in IT engineering, not only to support IT engineers’ job transitions but also to assist in their broader career development. Through valuable perspectives and opportunities, Tenshoku Draft helps engineers shape their careers and realize their full potential.

Eliminating lack of information transparency in real estate transactions
For most people, a home is one of the few major purchases they will make in their lives. Because of this, however, not many people have experience or knowledge of buying and selling, so they often struggle with judging the good and the bad when making this pivotal decision. On the other hand, real estate companies make money by closing deals, so there is little incentive for them to pursue the consumer’s satisfaction and interests. As a result, there is still a structure in the real estate industry to profit from the knowledge gap and information asymmetry with general consumers. Progress on systemization and efficiency is insufficient due to legal regulations and industry practices. IESHIL has identified great challenges and business opportunities in this structure. We aim to solve structural issues in the real estate industry leveraging transparency and IT-based efficiency to realize more satisfying real estate transactions.

Pursuing solutions to new challenges and sustainable growth
Our society is constantly changing due to global political and economic conditions, shifting values, and technological advances and innovations. At the same time, that change has brought about new challenges. Livesense changes and adapts its business in response to changes in society while constantly searching for business opportunities to address newly emerging issues.
We will aggressively invest in business seeds that could become “the next common” with the aim of diversifying business models and creating businesses that can become future pillars of earnings. With “Invent the next common” as our vision, Livesense seeks to constantly provide value to society and achieve sustainable growth by repeatedly changing and creating businesses. Most recently, our dedicated new business development organization has developed a product to achieve PMF*: batonn.
*PMF stands for product market fit, a state where a service is accepted by customers in a particular market

How we tackle social issues
“batonn” is a cloud-based service that aims to optimize the interview and selection process, thereby enhancing recruiting capabilities. Generally speaking, hiring interviews are conducted in closed settings, with many questions and judgments based on personal experience and perceptions. batonn records interviews and automatically transcribes them to ensure that the real interview details are recorded. The interviewer’s impressions are linked to video of the interview and the transcribed text, so the next interviewer can see them and make the interview more efficient and more attractive for the interviewee. At the same time, the records help companies improve their recruiting capabilities by aligning evaluation criteria and providing interview guidance.
