Galois and GMO Payment Gateway Launch of "Gigabaito SOKKYU byGMO Plan" to Support Part-Time Job Hiring

【Background】

Due to the declining birthrate and aging population, the shortage of human resources has become a structural issue for many companies. Against the backdrop of the spread of spot part-time jobs, companies are adopting a variety of recruitment methods.
With the expansion of recruitment methods, the environment for comparing and choosing job conditions is also expanding. In this context, the conditions that job seekers value are also changing, and the timing of salary payment is one of them.
In fact, on the part-time job site "Gigabaito", it has been confirmed that the number of views (average) of the job details page is about 3.2 times higher when comparing jobs with the feature flag of "prepayment conditions (daily, weekly, prepayment)" and those without it (*2). The results show that information about the timing of the payment salary is one of the factors of interest when browsing job postings.

  • (*2) Aggregation period: From October 1 to December 31, 2025, the aggregation was made on the part-time job site "Gigabaito". According to Galois.

[About the "Gigabaito SOKKYU byGMO Plan"]

The "Gigabaito SOKKYU byGMO Plan" is a plan that combines the recruitment media "Gigabaito" operated by Galois and the salary advance payment service "SOKKYU byGMO" provided by GMO-PG. This plan will allow companies to use the salary advance payment system, which is of high interest to job seekers, as one of the recruitment conditions, and to promote it in an easy-to-understand manner in job postings. Job postings display a feature flag indicating that they support "prepayment (daily, weekly, prepaid)", providing an environment where job seekers can easily search for jobs while comparing conditions.
This allows companies to clearly communicate their hiring requirements from the pre-application stage, leading to more efficient recruitment activities with fewer mismatches in terms of conditions.

[About the campaign to commemorate the start of the service]

In conjunction with the launch of this plan, we will be running a special campaign specializing in prepaid jobs on Gigabaito. In this campaign, a special page will be set up for prepaid jobs from companies that use "SOKKYU byGMO" and will be posted free of charge (*1). The special page posts jobs that support prepayment (daily, weekly, and prepaid), and is structured so that job seekers can browse jobs while comparing conditions.

It is used not only to meet the daily payment needs of non-regular employees and part-time workers, but also to support young employees who have sudden expenses such as receiving flexible salaries and ceremonial ceremonies, and is used by a wide range of industries and company sizes as a means to support companies in securing human resources and enhancing welfare benefits.
