Story of WDB Group

Work Data Bank, current WDB Holdings, was named after "a place where a lot of working people and work meet." We experienced the start from zero, the challenges to develop staffing service in the field of science and the efforts to make new businesses beyond human resource business. WDB Group has been running human-based businesses. That never changes.
Those who meet here set up businesses. Please see the Story of WDB Group.
