This strategic move aligns with OpenWork’s long-term growth plan to achieve annual revenues exceeding ¥28 million and operating profits surpassing ¥1.45 billion by 2030.
The integration of BNG Partners is expected to significantly contribute to achieving these targets and expanding their market presence in the recruitment industry.
