It is the Japanese word for temporary employment, where a staffing agency, such as JMD Staffing, dispatches employees to client companies on a contract basis. While haken staff report to their supervisor at the company, they have an employment contract with the staffing agency.

The staffing agency pays the employee’s salary and provides social benefits.

We provide a variety of benefits, including:

• social and health insurance coverage • travel expenses • visa application sponsorships • Japanese or English translation/interpretation support • training in a variety of areas, such as IT, software, and language • support for obtaining certain certifications relating to career advancement

Yes. There is a chance that you could be asked to become a permanent employee at the client company. If that is something you would be interested in pursuing, Spotted Staffing will happily support you throughout the transition process.

It is a type of contract that starts out as haken and potentially leads to a permanent position in six months or less. It gives candidates the opportunity to experience work at a company and get a strong sense of its culture before possibly being offered a full-time role at the company.
