Wantedly Platform for Job Matching, Recruiting, and Company Culture Discovery

Wantedly matches candidates with companies based on shared values and culture rather than just skills, and it puts storytelling ahead of plain job listings. Company profiles carry photos, videos and stories about culture, projects and team members, so candidates can explore the work environment before applying. Job seekers create a profile of their skills, interests and career aspirations, then apply for jobs or connect with companies and professionals. The aim is for candidates to discover roles that align with their passions and career goals. Following companies and networking with professionals adds a social layer.

For employers, talent branding tools create engaging content and employee stories to attract the right talent, which is relevant for startups and SMEs building an employer brand. Companies attract candidates through storytelling and social media-like profiles. It also addresses recruiters seeking engaged candidates and professionals interested in networking. It is free for job seekers, while companies get basic access with limited features and pay a custom-priced subscription for advanced recruiting tools and branding features. Its reach is primarily focused on Japanese and Asian markets, with apps for iOS and Android alongside the web version.
