BEENOS HR Link Inc. (hereinafter "BEENOS HR Link"), a consolidated subsidiary of BEENOS Inc. that comprehensively supports specified skills employment, is pleased to announce that its specified skills support operations management system "Linkus" has launched a new feature enabling the generation of various residence status application documents for working under Specified Skills 2 directly within the system. Specified Skills Support Operations Management System "Linkus" https://linku-s.com/ ■ Background of the "Specified Skills 2 Application Document Generation Feature" Launch In the Specified Skills system, the transition and employment of "Specified Skills 2" for foreign nationals with advanced skills are becoming more substantial. As of the end of December 2024, there were 832 foreign nationals with Specified Skills 2 status, but this is projected to increase by approximately 9.5 times to 7,955 by the end of December 2025, with more companies organizationally supporting their employees in obtaining Specified Skills 2 status※1. Under Specified Skills 2, the support operations that were mandatory under Specified Skills 1 are no longer required. However, even after the support obligation is removed, the need to handle procedural complexities and ongoing employment management remains strong. Furthermore, the application procedures for residence status themselves are still complex and place a significant administrative burden on accepting companies. Against this backdrop, "Linkus" has newly added a feature that allows for the easy generation of various application documents for Specified Skills 2 within the system. The use of this feature will further reduce the "burden of daily administrative procedures and document creation related to the employment of foreign nationals." ※1 "Public Announcement of the Number of Foreign Nationals with Specified Skills Status" https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/ssw/nyuukokukanri07_00215.html ■ Overview of the New Feature With th
