Recruit

Background
Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. is a Japanese human resources company. It was originally founded in 1960 by Hiromasa Ezoe as a job advertisement company for university newspapers. It later expanded towards other areas including real estate and travel, often working in the publishing and advertising media industry. In 1988, a scandal involving the company caused the founder to resign and the company's shares being sold to the Daiei Group. In 2014, the company was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The company is known overseas for being the parent company of the US companies Indeed and Glassdoor, acquiring them in 2012 and 2018 respectively.
