(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director: Keita Nakagawara) announced today that it has begun recruiting demonstration partners (companies and administrative scrivener offices that accept foreign human resources, etc.) to verify its service "Embloom," which supports the AI-powered review of documents related to visa applications for foreign human resources, towards practical application.
