Story of WDB Group

Being top in the field of research temp staffing, WDB decided the next challenge would be to enter the field of engineering. The scale of this field was larger than science and had a longer history. In fact, WDB had previous experience entering and then retreating from the field of engineering. It had established a specified dispatch agency in the field of engineering that it was forced to close due to layoffs of temporary staff as a result of the global financial crisis. The company would not make the same mistake again. Having learned their lesson, and equipped with EUREKA’s success model, the company established WDB KOUGAKU, a specified dispatch agency for professionals related to engineering, in December 2012. WDB KOUGAKU is a company that provides those who wish to work in technology options for their future and the opportunity to gain perspective on their career while working as full-time temp staff. In 2014, the first batch of new graduates joined the company. Among them were staff who currently act as leaders and staff who have gained insight into a career plan and are striving to learn.

On December 13, 2013, WDB Holdings was listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. WDB was listed on the JASDAQ on the background of dramatic growth of research temporary staffing in 2006. The company continued to grow steadily and was listed on the second section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2008, when it began expanding its business domains. This time, WDB Holdings became a company listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

※WDB Holdings Co., Ltd moved from the First Section of Tokyo Stock Exchange to the Prime Market of Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Ever since making Kilo Technology Institute a subsidiary, WDB has continued to acquire or create new group companies. With group companies expanding rapidly, each of which experiencing steady growth, Nakano made a certain decision. That decision was to leave the role of director of the subsidiaries, which he had been doing, to the next generation.
Thus, in 2014, ten new directors were created. Many of these members helped create turning points for the company, such as when the company went from clerical temp staffing to research temp staffing, from human resources to new business domains, and the launching of new businesses. These young people, who had faced and solved a variety of challenges, became managers representing the company.
