Chairman of the Board Takeshi Hirano
Hirano is the founder of Fullcast Holdings Co., Ltd., a leading human resources service provider. He lost his father when he was in the third grade of elementary school and grew up in a single-parent household. After graduating from university, he got a job but quit after three years. After working part-time, he founded Resort World, its predecessor, at the age of 29. Two years later, he changed the company's name to Fullcast and started a light labor contracting business. Hirano himself worked as a registered light labor staff member and studied services for the industry. He dispelled the impression that light labor dispatch was "careless." He also increased the trust of dispatching clients by shifting registered staff's salaries from the following week to the same day, and by implementing wake-up calls to ensure late arrivals at work sites. As a result, the company grew rapidly, with peak sales exceeding 100 billion yen.
Hirota: You can't pick something that's out of place unless you're confident in your eye for choice. Hirano's watch selection is very clear, like "I like it, so this is fine," and I think it's very logical.
Hirano: That may be true. If you're going to spend the same amount of money, I think most people would choose a watch that everyone will approve of. I don't particularly dislike it, but I probably wouldn't make that choice.
Hirota: What are those standards?
