Wantedly is celebrating the 10th anniversary of our professional social media platform, Wantedly Visit.

What is Wantedly Visit?

Wantedly Visit was created in February 2012 with the mission of creating a “world where work drives passion” - essentially, a world where professionals can immerse themselves in their work, produce results and continuously feel their own growth. Our mission hasn’t changed, and in early February, we celebrated 10 years of working toward that goal.

Wantedly made its first release in 2012 with Wantedly Visit, a hiring platform and app where professionals and companies can connect and network on a more casual basis. In 2016, we released our business card matching app and network, Wantedly People. Most recently, we saw the release of Engagement Suite, a suite of HR management tools which support both managers and employees in their day to day work. Wantedly is constantly evolving in order to become a solid foundation for all working people.

Our 10 Year Logo

We released a special 10 year logo to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and extend our gratitude to all of our users. Users will see this logo on our platform and in other areas throughout 2022.

The Past and Next 10 years of “Wantedly”

Somehow 10 years have passed since the idea of Wantedly was first born in an apartment room, and I am so grateful. Wantedly was created by a drive our members had to change the perceptions surrounding “work” - that work is not a negative or heavy burden, but an area where we could feel passion and excitement.

In these 10 years, the discourse surrounding work has changed more than I could have imagined. More than 40,000 businesses use Wantedly, and we’ve surpassed 3 million users.

Moving forward, our team will continue developing our service and striving towards our goal of creating a world where work drives passion. I hope you will continue to support us as always.

To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we have a project underway for all of our users, past and present. The project will shed a spotlight on users who have found passion in their work through Wantedly, the connections made on Wantedly, and the companies who have been able to live out their values with Wantedly. We hope you look forward to the release!
