Overview
Geekly, Inc. (株式会社ギークリー) is a Tokyo-based human resources company focused exclusively on career placement in the IT, Web, and game industries. Founded in August 2011 by Takahiro Okuyama, who had previously helped launch a major general staffing firm and served as a director in its recruitment business, Geekly was created to address the mismatch and lack of industry-specific expertise that he saw driving early turnover among engineers and IT professionals. The company is headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, with additional offices in Shibuya and Osaka. Geekly's core service is a free career-change support agency for IT engineers and Web/game professionals. It advertises more than 45,000 IT and Web job listings, handles document preparation and interview scheduling on behalf of candidates, and provides post-placement follow-up. The company positions itself around "quality of choice" (選択の質) and the goal of realizing the right person in the right role (適材適所) across society as digital transformation and AI expand demand for IT talent beyond the IT industry itself. Beyond its main agency, Geekly operates Geekly Media, an owned media property launched in January 2019 that covers the IT industry and job-change topics, and Geekly Review, a review site launched in January 2022 that provides company reputation, selection-process, and job information for IT companies. The company moved its headquarters in December 2021 due to business expansion and established an Osaka branch in November 2023. In February 2026 it listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market. Geekly is led by representative director and president Takahiro Okuyama. Its services are free to job seekers, with revenue generated through corporate recruitment placement fees under a paid employment placement license (有料職業紹介事業 13-ユ-305272). The company has received recognition including a doda Valuable Partner Award, reflecting its track record as a recruitment partner.
History
Geekly, Inc. was established in August 2011 by Takahiro Okuyama. Before founding the company, Okuyama was involved in launching a major general human resources service company and served as a director in its recruitment business. Through that experience, he identified that insufficient service differentiation and poor matching were key causes of early employee turnover. Focusing on the IT, Web, and game industries—sectors with growing talent demand—he founded Geekly to provide recruitment services with deep industry specialization. The company initially concentrated on career-change support for IT engineers and Web/game professionals. In January 2019, it launched Geekly Media, an owned media property covering the IT industry and job-change information. In December 2021, due to business expansion, the company relocated its headquarters. In January 2022, it began offering Geekly Review, a review site specialized for IT companies that provides reputation, selection-process, and job information. In November 2023, it established an Osaka branch. In February 2026, Geekly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market. As of the mid-2020s, Geekly advertises more than 45,000 IT and Web job listings and serves both major business corporations and popular IT/game companies. Its services are free for job seekers, with revenue from corporate clients. The company holds a paid employment placement business license (13-ユ-305272) and has received industry recognition such as the doda Valuable Partner Award.
