Job requests made online

Workshift is an online workplace where you can place job orders, receive job orders and settle payments all on one site - this is called crowdsourcing. Essentially, it means you can do all your outsourcing online from anywhere, in less time, and at less cost. For freelancers around the world, Workshift offers easy access to Japan's large economy, a market which due to geography and language is otherwise difficult for non-Japanese to penetrate. In fact, Workshift is the first crowdsourcing service in Japan to offer Japanese clients a truly global network in the form of access to non-Japanese overseas based freelancers. Moreover, user registration is free so if you have a skill to sell we invite you to join us by registering today.

We use Workshift whenever we visit abroad on business. So far we have visited Switzerland, Germany, England, Spain, France, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, and Australia, to name a few. Many overseas freelancers registered on Workshift are either Japanese residents or locals fluent in Japanese language. What's more, not only do they excel linguistically but they also possess many other talents and skills. We saw many applications from freelancers who were experts on local economy and business. We were able to rely on such bright, talented people as if they were our local representatives. We will most definitely continue using Workshift for our overseas business.

Globa e-commerce Keiichiro Enmei

We are very pleased to come to know the perspective of local consumers” My department uses cross border e-commerce to sell Japanese sake. As part of our overseas expansion we utilized the Workshift platform to investigate local shop prices overseas. We started with Singapore then proceeded with market research in 3 other cities to complete our investigation of 4 overseas cities. We had some concern over Workshift product quality and pricing but we were able to attain good results. Thanks to Workshift freelancers we were able to come to know the perspective of local consumers and we were very satisfied with the results. We look forward to using Workshift again in the near future!

Fun Japan Communications

Consumer Engagement Division Thongpliw Juthamard

We are managing a company called “FUN! JAPAN” which targets 6 areas in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and ASEAN. Over 4 million people follow our Facebook page and 750,000 Japan lovers are registered on our website. As I work as the leader for a team of Japanese and Thai workers, I sometimes have problems completing projects due to a lack of translators, local photographers and other resources. Through Workshift we can get access to high-quality and inexpensive translators as well as other local resources. With Workshift we are able to contact a wide range of freelancers with different skills and backgrounds.
