A temp staffing agency that creates jobs for its temp staff

The global financial crisis of 2008 occurred right when WDB EUREKA’s exit strategy was starting to show some results. The world treated temp staffing as villains, and even WDB staff wondered if what they had done was wrong. At that time, the decision came down from Nakano to provide a place of employment for the research staff by the company itself. That is to say, a company within the group that would enable research staff to work.
Actually, Nakano had already been warming up to this idea. Many talented people were registered with WDB. He thought that, by taking advantage of their abilities, the company might be able to demonstrate its competitiveness in new domains of business. Nakano acted fast. In 2008, the same year as the global financial crisis, a contract synthetic company was made into a subsidiary. This marked the creation of the very first business firm within the WDB group.
