Sokuwork Expands into Caregiving with New LINE-Based Job Placement Service
Paystorage is applying the LINE-based matching model it built in factory staffing, with over 70,000 registrations, to the caregiving sector, where chronic staff shortages and unqualified job seekers are both persistent problems.

Paystorage, the company behind the factory-focused job placement service Sokuwork, has launched Sokuwork Kaigo, a caregiving-sector placement service. The new service uses LINE chat for consultations and pairs job seekers with specialist staff who provide ongoing support. It targets people without qualifications or experience, addressing chronic staff shortages in caregiving and the difficulty job seekers have finding time to search.
The new service keeps the LINE chat consultation model that Sokuwork used to build its registration base, and adds dedicated staff who walk job seekers through the process from first contact to employment. The company frames the service around three points: LINE-based consultation that works during commutes or before bed, the accumulated track record of Sokuwork plus government licensing as a placement agency, and accompaniment-style support for people worried about lacking qualifications or experience.
Representative director Yusuke Kusakabe said the service grew out of direct requests from caregiving facilities about staff shortages, and that the company wants the matching to feel personal rather than purely transactional. Paystorage was founded in June 2022 and operates from Osaka with branches in Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sendai, and Hiroshima.
