Verification notes

Shutdown: The operator’s notice gives December 21, 2022 as the whole business and related-services end; the original engineering blog was later annotated to affirm completed service end on that day. This is an actual cutoff, not merely an expired future plan. The November 1, 2022 notice is separate from the undated later confirmation; neither the engineering article’s 2021 publication date nor the 2018 name/logo change is a closure date. The original launch describes AI recommendations as the central task with no job-search box, not a later embedded AI feature. Beta operation began in October 2013; April 21, 2014 was the grand launch. Continuing BizReach and HRMOS services are excluded. Cutoff hour and time zone are not expressly stated. Closure source

Launch: The April 2014 original release explicitly says beta operation began in October 2013, with no day. April 21, 2014 is the grand public launch, not first existence.
Location: Japan · Tokyo. The original 2018 operator release identifies BizReach in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward and a Tokyo headquarters; use the operator-headquarters city fallback.
