Company profile
researched Aug 2026jinjer株式会社 (jinjer Co., Ltd.) is a Tokyo-based software company that plans, develops and operates the integrated HR system "ジンジャー" (jinjer). The product covers HR/labor administration, attendance management, payroll calculation, performance evaluation, surveys, data analysis and recruiting management, all managed on a single HR database. The company positions the resulting consolidated HR data as the basis for AI-driven automation of routine HR tasks and for advanced data use supporting human-capital management.
The product line is organized into two groups. "Core HR" covers routine HR operations: a cloud HR/labor system that digitizes onboarding documents and year-end tax adjustment paperwork and centralizes employee records; an attendance system with automatic working-hour aggregation, shift and leave management, multiple clock-in methods and a mobile app; a payroll system that calculates salary and bonuses from linked employee and attendance data and handles monthly revisions and year-end adjustment; a workflow system for application and approval processes; and an expense settlement system for travel and expense claims through to journal entries. "Talent HR" covers talent management: a performance evaluation system, an organizational survey/diagnosis tool for engagement and stress risk, an HR data analysis system with historical and trend views, an e-learning system whose training histories are stored in the same database, and an employee benefits service delivered through a smartphone app.
Alongside the software, jinjer operates owned media properties: HR NOTE, aimed at HR practitioners and covering recruiting, organization, labor and HR tech topics, and jinjer Blog, which covers back-office operations such as attendance management, payroll, HR/labor administration, expense management and electronic contracts. 株式会社タレンティオ is listed as a group company.
Business model
jinjer sells cloud-based ("as a Service") HR software to companies, with a modular product family — HR/labor, attendance, payroll, workflow, expenses, evaluation, survey, analytics, e-learning and employee benefits — built on a shared HR database, so customers can adopt individual modules or the integrated suite. Owned media (HR NOTE, jinjer Blog) support demand generation around HR and back-office topics.
Subscription-based cloud service (SaaS) for the ジンジャー product series.
Traction
510 employees as of May 2026 across Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa offices, with capital of ¥67,505,000. A third-party recruiting profile cites roughly 18,000 client companies and headcount growth from just under 300 to about 500 over two years. The company holds "Great Place to Work" certification in Japan (reported as a second consecutive year in 2026), White Company certification at silver rank, and the highest "Eruboshi" grade for promoting women's participation in the workplace.

Market position
Operates in the Japanese HR tech / back-office SaaS market. The company has received multiple industry awards, including the HR Technology Grand Prix (2nd and 6th editions), HR Award 2016, and BOXIL SaaS AWARD recognitions, and has stated a goal of becoming the number-one domestic HR tech provider by 2030.
Breadth of HR functions consolidated on one database rather than separate point systems, allowing cross-module automation (attendance to payroll, evaluation to salary revision) and AI analysis over consistent HR data.
Technology
A single integrated HR database ("Core HR database") underpins all modules, enabling automatic data flow from attendance aggregation to payroll and social-insurance paperwork. The company layers AI on this data through its "HR Signals" feature series, which includes an attrition-risk alert detecting turnover signals from HR data and a mental-health survey function using behavioral, physical and psychological data to flag deterioration early. Additional capabilities include salary-revision simulation linked to the payroll system, holdings-level multi-entity data consolidation, and API/data integrations with external tools such as MaLionCloud (IT asset management/MDM), ez-PCLogger (PC logon/logoff logs) and the Yoom hyperautomation platform.
Go-to-market
Direct sales and marketing supported by owned media, webinars and online exhibitions (e.g. the 12th HR online exhibition comparing 28 HR systems), speaking slots by CEO Ken Tominaga at industry events such as HRzine Day, BOXIL EXPO and IT TREND EXPO, a first in-person event "HR REVEAL 2026," television advertising in the Kansai region, and integration partnerships with third-party tools and corporate partners.
HR, labor and back-office teams at Japanese companies; the product set spans small and mid-sized businesses through multi-entity groups, with a holdings-management capability for consolidating HR data across multiple legal entities and features positioned for IPO-preparation audits.
