GRIT Ltd. will start to provide a service “Sapie” that connects students studying at elite universities in the world and Japanese companies that want to hire global human resources. At the early stage, we will launch the crowdsourcing service as β ver. in which companies can ask international students tasks such as translation, proofreading, and interpretation. Additionally, we will provide our service to our corporate customers as a free registration campaign for the two months of July and August 2022.
■Background of “Sapie”
Securing and educating distinguished global human resources is a critical tactic for business growth especially in Japanese society where facing a decreased working population caused by the aging problem. However, cross-border hiring/job hunting was difficult for both students and companies because it is hard to imagine realistically. Also, even though there are certain amounts of talented students including international students who are interested in Japan and study Japanese, there is a fact that most of those students end up finding a job in their local or other foreign countries because they don’t have access to Japanese companies.
We think that missing a chance to hire those talented people will become a huge loss for the post-covid Japanese economy. Therefore, we decided to develop a service “Sapie” that can be a bridge to the world in order to achieve both the needs of Japanese companies demanding global human resources and talented international students who studies Japanese and are interested in Japan.
■Abstract of international crowdsourcing service “Sapie”
“Sapie” is a service that Japanese companies can use for student workers (Sapier) who registered Sapie as a crowdworker. Companies can ask Sapier for various tasks such as translation, proofreading, interpreting, market research, and sales promotion. Companies eventually can offer them official positions in the future (after September 2022) as the company can understand Sapier‘s skills such as communication skills and practical skills in business situations.
※ We are not accepting “market research” and “sales promotion” during the free registration campaign for the two months of July and August 2022.
■Benefits of using our service
01.It will make it possible for companies to take early action to approach talented global human resources who used to be a difficult target for the companies through job offer advertisements or communication during work.
02.It was hard for companies to evaluate a person only from CV and job interview when they hire global human resources. However, now they can hire students based on fair evaluations by giving them practical skills and learning their abilities through our service.
03.Usually, it takes time and costs when a company asks another company to do market research or field survey. However, Sapie enables the company to get updated information that it needs at a reasonable cost in a shorter time thanks to students who are working in Sapie all over the world.
■Future prospect
We will expand this platform to realize human development and secure future employers. With more details, Sapie will be a place to gain connections with Japanese companies and acquire and develop business skills in practical situations for students, and for a Japanese company, as a place to meet with talented international future workers. We started with crowdsourcing service β ver. in July 2022, and we will steadily begin providing official crowdsourcing services, student internships, and job hunting support from this September. We are also planning to extend the service contents based on the needs, requests, and feedback from Sapier and Japanese companies.
■Details of services during the free registration campaign
We are doing a free registration campaign for companies for the two months of July and August 2022. During the campaign, we receive job offers from companies and then introduce students who are qualified for the job. As for job offers, we mainly accept jobs such as translation, proofreading, and interpreting, but we officially confirm tasks after registration and a discussion with our clients. (Please note that we are not undertaking “market research” and “sales promotion” during the campaign) Also, we are flexible with job offers other than the ones we listed above, so please contact us anytime with any questions.
If you have questions or opinions about our service, please feel free to contact us as well.
