Caster Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saito City, Miyazaki Prefecture, Representative Director: Shota Nakagawa, hereinafter referred to as “Caster”), which operates a fully remote BPO business, has launched “Global”, a one-stop outsourcing service to overseas engineers, starting December 1, 2023. Engineer Marketplace” (Global Engineer Marketplace) beta version is now available.
Through fully remote outsourcing, we aim to provide the resources of engineers from around the world, regardless of where they live or work, and help solve the serious IT talent shortage that Japan is facing.

According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, it is estimated that there will be a shortage of up to 790,000 IT personnel in Japan by 2030 (*1). Furthermore, in the “Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2022″, Japan ranked 29th out of 63 countries, and ranked 62nd in terms of digital and technical skills (*2). In addition, the “2025 cliff” is fast approaching, where it has been pointed out that if Japanese companies do not adequately implement DX initiatives, economic losses of up to 12 trillion yen per year could occur after 2025. I am.
Under these circumstances, it is predicted that competition to acquire IT human resources will become even more intense in Japan in the future, making recruitment more difficult. In fact, Caster receives many requests for human resources support in the engineering field. Therefore, we will take advantage of the characteristics of remote work regardless of where you work and develop the “Global Engineer Marketplace” that provides IT human resources from overseas. “Global Engineer Marketplace” introduction site: https://globalengmarket.com/ (Reference source)

1. Engineers ready to work immediately
We select countries where IT education is popular and where the IT industry is developing as recruitment bases. We provide ready-to-work engineers who are fluent in English and skilled in communicating with overseas companies, so there is no need for clients to train their own engineers.
2. Reasonable price
Compared to hiring engineers who meet your requirements in Japan, you can lower the level of basic compensation. Additionally, there are no non-statutory welfare expenses such as housing allowance or
transportation expenses. (※3)

3. Avoid the risk of contracting directly with overseas personnel The client concludes a business outsourcing contract
(quasi-delegation) with the caster that complies with Japanese domestic law. This allows clients to avoid the risk of contracting directly with overseas companies. Additionally, there is no need for complicated communications and tasks such as salary payments to engineers, labor management, and procedures related to work visas. “Global Engineer Marketplace” contact information

Going forward, we will strengthen recruitment in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
In the future, we plan to increase our recruitment bases, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. By strengthening the recruitment of engineers at Caster, we will build a system that can support many companies that have problems recruiting IT human resources.
In addition, we are introducing remote work not only in the
engineering field, but also in other industries where human resource shortages are an issue, such as the medical, nursing care, and service industries, promoting rationalization of securing a workforce and contributing to resolving the supply-demand balance in the labor market. I will continue to do so.

Caster was founded in 2014 with the mission of “making remote work the norm,” and is a company that operates its organization through fully remote work. We directly employ over 800 people living in 46 prefectures in Japan at Tokyo-level wages, and operate human resources businesses including the remote assistant “CASTER BIZ” series.
