Business
Movin Strategic Career Co., Ltd. is a company founded in December 2000 (its predecessor, Rio Dios Co., Ltd., was established in 1997) that specializes exclusively in recruitment placement for professional firms, primarily consulting firms. Its main clients include management consultants, IT consultants, FAS (financial advisory services) firms, PE funds, and foreign-affiliated business corporations, and career advisors handle the entire process from interviews and matching to post-placement follow-up for job seekers. The company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in October 2025. The core of its business is built on low-cost customer acquisition through proprietary media such as "Consultant Tenshoku" (Consultant Career Change) and the acquisition of repeat customers by leveraging its in-house database, which totaled approximately 111,000 people (as of the end of December 2025).
Business Model
This is a success-fee-based model in which, upon a job seeker's placement with a client company, the firm receives a placement fee from the hiring company calculated by multiplying the candidate's post-placement annual salary by a fixed percentage. Cost of sales consists solely of external scout site usage fees, and since the majority of revenue comes through the in-house database (FY2025 (ending December 2025): ¥3,003,872 thousand, approximately 79% of sales), gross margin reaches 95.3%. The average placement fee per successful hire remains at a high level of roughly ¥3 million, and combined with in-house media-driven customer acquisition that keeps advertising costs low, the company achieves an operating margin of 46.4%.
Company Strengths
Through SEO measures, video content, and SNS utilization for its own career-change support sites such as "Consultant Tenshoku," the company acquired more than 5,300 new career-change consultation registrations via its own website in FY2025 (ending December 2025). By limiting external platform usage fees, it has achieved an extremely high gross profit margin of 95.3%.
The company manages its in-house database of approximately 111,000 cumulative registrants (as of the end of December 2025), built up over approximately 25 years of career-change support track record, using Salesforce. The number of people followed up by the Customer Database Marketing (Utilizing CRM) team has expanded to 25,332 (as of the end of December 2025), and the number of reactivated registrants has also shown an increasing trend on a quarterly basis.
Due to its specialized expertise focused on the consulting industry, the average contract value per career-change placement has maintained and increased to a high level of around ¥3 million since FY2023 (ending December 2023). In FY2025 (ending December 2025), the operating profit margin reached 46.4% (operating profit of ¥1,763 million), representing a level of profitability that stands out even within the recruitment placement industry.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Against FY2025 (ending December 2025) results of revenue of ¥3,800 million, operating profit of ¥1,763 million, and net income of ¥1,153 million, the revised full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) projects high growth with revenue of ¥5,800 million (+52.6% YoY), operating profit of ¥2,660 million (+50.9% YoY), and net income of ¥1,750 million (+51.7% YoY). First-quarter results (revenue of ¥1,338 million, operating profit of ¥658 million, operating margin of 49.2%) were solid, with both a rise in per-deal contract value and an increase in the number of contracts achieved simultaneously. As an external factor, the structural labor shortage stemming from the declining working-age population and the sharp decrease in the population aged 25–34 are pushing up the market value of high-end talent, serving as a tailwind for performance. Net assets increased by ¥427 million from the end of the previous period to ¥4,156 million, and the equity ratio improved to 84.9%.
Growth Strategy
Three-pronged strategy of increasing career advisors, strengthening in-house media, and expanding database marketing
Positioned as the most important growth driver of the Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2026–FY2028, ending December 2028). In the first quarter, the number of career advisors increased steadily, and efforts to accelerate their early productivity through AI utilization and other means were promoted. This is reflected in the business results as an increase in the number of placements.
In addition to conventional SEO measures, the company implemented job-seeker acquisition initiatives utilizing diverse channels, including video content distribution, SNS, and collaboration with career-change-focused YouTubers. The cumulative number of registrants in the in-house database remained solid at approximately 114 thousand as of the end of March 2026.
Led by the Customer Database Marketing team, the company regularly distributes job listing information and seminar information to registrants in its in-house database, systematically responding at an early stage to latent career-change needs. Continuous follow-up with past service users is boosting both the average placement fee and the number of placements.
The company conducts timely, in-depth sales activities targeting customers with active recruitment activity, and agilely rebalances its customer portfolio in response to changes in customers' hiring needs. The average placement fee per career-change support case has risen year on year, reflecting the effectiveness of these initiatives in the results.
