Remote Launches AI-Powered Recruiting And Payroll In Japan
San Francisco, CA (BUSINESS WIRE) - In July 2025, Remote (headquartered in San Francisco, USA), a global HR platform provider, began offering new features in Japan, "Remote Recruit" and "Remote Payroll," which use AI to streamline recruitment and payroll operations. This will enable Japanese companies to use Remote's suite of solutions to make global recruitment and payroll processes easier and faster.
Changing recruitment strategies and trends in the global talent market
As the workforce continues to decline in Japan, companies are being forced to reassess their recruitment methods and are increasingly reaching out to overseas markets to secure top talent. According to Remote's Asia-Pacific Report , 85% of Japanese companies plan to hire overseas talent as full-time remote employees within the next 12 to 18 months, the highest level in the Asia-Pacific region. There is also growing interest in global outsourcing and hybrid employment models, which allow access to skilled talent across geographic boundaries. Meanwhile, Remote's Global Workforce Report revealed that approximately 30% of recruiters at Japanese companies "experience challenges in finding candidates with the necessary skills." In response to this situation, Remote has launched "Remote Recruit," an AI-powered recruitment support feature, and "Remote Payroll," a flexible payroll management feature that complies with global regulations. We will support the digitalization of HR and labor management to help Japanese companies increase their competitiveness in both talent acquisition and HR operations.
