Are Registration Support Agencies Profitable?

What is a registration support agency?

When hiring foreigners, many of you may have heard of the name of a registration support agency.
Normally, employment of foreigners requires various procedures, but if you make good use of the registration support organization, you will be able to complete the procedures without any hassle.

In the first place, what is a registration support organization?Creating a support plan for the period of stay for non-designated Skill No. 1 foreigners to carry out the activities of NPO No. 1 in a stable and smooth manner under consignment from the institution to which the non-designated foreigner belongs (a company that accepts foreigners).・ Implementing organizationRefers to.
It may seem difficult, but the point isAn organization that supports foreign workers with specific skill No. 1.It's okay to recognize that.

Companies that employ foreigners who possess specific skill No. 1Institution to which the specified skill belongsHowever, the institution to which they belong is obliged to provide support to foreigners in situations that are necessary in society, such as workplaces and daily life.
However, when hiring a foreigner with a specific skill, specialized knowledge is required in situations such as document preparation, and the burden of support is heavy.
In such a case, it is better to act on behalf of the specific skill affiliated organizationRegistration support organization
Especially in recent years, foreign workers have been actively accepted to solve the labor shortage.

Although the acceptance of foreign workers was once stopped due to the Korona-ka, it is easy to imagine that the number of cases of hiring foreign workers will increase significantly depending on the future situation than before the Korona-ka.
The registration support agency can be said to be the agency you want to use in such cases.

Differences between registration support agencies and supervising organizations

In addition to registration support organizationsSupervisory bodyThere is a thing called.both"Support foreigners"same in that role.So what is the difference?
First, let's take a closer look at the roles of both.

● Supervising organization (business cooperative): A non-profit organization that accepts foreign technical intern trainees and confirms and guides the proper implementation of technical intern training to each company.
● Registration support organization: An organization that provides support based on a support plan for foreigners with specific skills through a support consignment contract with the organization to which the specific skill belongs.

If you look at it this way, you can see that they are similar but slightly different.
If you dig deeper, the two are also very different in the following points.

XNUMX. XNUMX.Status of residence of foreigners accepted
XNUMX. XNUMX.Requirements to become an institution

Among them, the most important point is the status of residence of foreigners to be accepted in 1.
In the case of a supervising organization, among the status of residence"Foreign Technical Intern Trainee"Has become.
Therefore, the main support is limited to foreigners who have a status of residence for technical intern training.

In the case of one registration support organization,"Specified Skilled Foreigner"is the target.
To acquire specific skill No. 1Successful completion of Technical Intern Training No. 2 + clearing requirements for transitionneed to do it.
As you can see, there is a clear difference in the target of support.

Also, pay attention to the requirements for becoming an institution as well.
The supervising body"Non-profit organization"must be.
On the other hand, the registration support organizationCorporate/individual as well as commercial/non-commercial.
Anyone who meets certain requirements can become a registration support organization.

However, it is not easy to meet the requirements, and it is possible that the registration support organization will reject the registration application, so please be aware that it is a difficult certification.

Business contents of registration support organization

Next, I will explain the business contents of the registration support organization.
Our work is divided into two main categories:

● Obligatory support
● Voluntary support

There is no difference between them in that their work is very responsible.
It is understandable that it is obligatory to report the support status to the government agency once a quarter.
However, compulsory support lives up to its name."Support that must be implemented", and its contents are wide-ranging.

The following are applicable to the support plans established by the Immigration Bureau of Japan.

・ Advance guidance
・ Pick-up and drop-off when entering and leaving Japan
・ Securing housing ・ Contract support necessary for living
・ Life orientation
・ Accompanying public procedures, etc.
・ Providing opportunities for learning Japanese
・ Responding to consultations and complaints
・ Promotion of exchange with Japanese people
・ Job change support (in the case of personnel reduction, etc.)
・ Regular interviews ・ Reporting to government agencies

All of them are important for living in Japan.
There are also detailed requirements for each individual, for example, in the "preliminary guidance", instead of writing or emailing, it must be done face-to-face or on a video call in a state where you can see each other's expressions, and in a language that foreigners can understand. also need to do.
In addition, in order to secure housing for foreigners with specific skills, we will assist them in finding housing by intervening with real estate agents, and conduct orientations on the knowledge necessary for living in Japan."support"Is the center.

As described above, the business of the registration support organization is to support foreigners with specific skills in all aspects.

Market price of support consignment fee

The registration support organization is a reliable existence that supports foreigners with a status of residence of a specific skill from various fields.
Then, what is the market price when entrusting support to such a registration support organization?

Although it is not clearly decided, the market price is roughly per person.About 2 to 3 yen a month.
Since the method of setting the cost differs depending on the registration support organization, it may be set for each support item, or it may be set monthly.
Therefore, please consider the cost as a guide only.

It seems that the registration support organization that sets the monthly amount per person is easier to use, but I would like to be carefulWhen additional costs are incurred for individual correspondenceThe point is that there is
For example, it may cost 1 yen for one session of preliminary guidance and 3 yen for one session of life orientation.
If you do so, there is a possibility that a large amount of money will be added to the monthly fee in the end, so be sure to include the fee in advance when signing the contract.

When hiring a foreigner, it costs more than the support consignment fee, so it is recommended to secure a sufficient budget before hiring.

Are Registration Support Agencies Profitable?

I will give my opinion on the main subject of the column, "Are registration support organizations profitable?"
Speaking from conclusion,there is a possibility of making money.
This is because the demand for foreign workers has increased as the acceptance of foreign workers has started to shift to with corona these days.

On the other hand, the number of registration support organizations is also increasing.
Above all, I would like to draw your attention toA recruitment agency is acting as a registration support organizationIt is a point.
It is understandable that we are paying attention as a way to make a profit in the future because there is a great possibility that a temporary staffing company can introduce and support foreign employees.
In particular, in the case of Specified Skill No. 1, which is the target of support from the registration support organization, there is a very high possibility that it will be profitable because the support fee will continue to be paid as a registration support organization.

Of course, building a relationship with the host company is also important, so not everyone can make money if they enter as a registration support organization.
However, if it is possible to build a solid relationship, the registration support agency can still recognize that it is a profitable business.

Summary

Registration support organizations, like supervising organizations, are organizations that support foreign employers.
The foreigners to be supported are clearly defined, and only foreigners who have the status of residence of "Specific Skill No. 1" are allowed.

The main business of the registration support organization is to support foreigners from various aspects according to their business contents so that they can live comfortably in Japan.
The market price will be about 1 to 2 per person.

As we move to with Corona, we expect to accept more and more foreign workers in the future, so demand is likely to continue to increase.
