About ROXX

ROXX, founded in 2013 by Taito Nakajima, is a Japanese HR technology company with a vision of "thinking of people and questioning society." The company aims to transform the labor-intensive recruitment industry through its suite of services.

Read full description

One of its key offerings is "SARDINE," a cloud-based job database for recruitment agencies. For a monthly fee, agencies can introduce their candidates to over 1,500 companies and retain 100% of the success fee upon placement. Complementing this is the "SARDINE Cloud Business Management" system, a free tool for agencies to manage job seeker registration, document handling, and the selection process, thereby improving efficiency and sales.

Another service is "back check," a monthly subscription-based reference check platform. This service gathers information on a candidate's background and performance from third parties like former supervisors and colleagues, providing insights that are not apparent from resumes or interviews. This service is offered at a fraction of the cost of traditional reference checks, making it accessible to a wide range of businesses.

ROXX is focused on leveraging AI within its "SARDINE" platform to automate tasks such as document creation and personalized job recommendations. The company has plans to expand its operations from the Tokyo area to Osaka and Nagoya, with the goal of becoming the largest recruitment agency in Japan and pursuing an IPO.
