The Financial Services Agency is working with financial institutions nationwide to strengthen its business of recruiting human resources, in an effort to encourage local companies facing serious labor shortages to change jobs from large companies.

The Financial Services Agency has launched a human resource matching system that connects people working for large companies in urban areas with local companies seeking human resources.



When people who want to change jobs register in the system, about 100 financial institutions such as regional banks introduce human resources to local companies suffering from labor shortages.
