Arbeit Times operates two core business segments: an Information Services segment and a Sales Promotion Support segment. The Information Services segment publishes and distributes free recruitment magazines ('DOMO') and operates online job portals (DOMO NET, JOB, TSUNORU) targeting part-time, full-time, and new graduate job seekers primarily in the Shizuoka, Aichi/Gifu, and broader Kanto regions, as well as a subscription-based applicant tracking system ('Wagasha de DOMO'). The Sales Promotion Support segment, operated through wholly-owned subsidiary Link Co., Ltd., distributes free papers and pamphlets via rack placement networks in supermarkets, stations, and shopping centers, and provides targeted advertising and promotional services aimed at homemakers and students.

AI Briefing
Arbeit Times runs Shizuoka-rooted job media (DOMO) plus sales promotion via subsidiary Link, spanning print and digital recruitment across Shizuoka, Aichi/Gifu and Kanto. FY26/2 revenue US$29.4M (¥4.7B) with OP margin improving to 3.4%, the strongest profitability in the four-year run shown. Shareholder register is fragmented across a public-interest foundation, Mitsubishi UFJ-linked custody trust, and investment partnerships including Mitsuhiro Kogure-affiliated and EPARK holders, pointing to a contested ownership structure without a clear controlling block.
