Recently, while the labor shortage is becoming more serious, there is a growing need for part-time workers who can work for a little while in their spare time.
Taimy" is a part-time job application that connects people who are "available to work during these hours" with companies that "want you to work during these hours. Workers do not need to apply for a job or have an interview; they simply select the job they want to work on and can start working immediately, receiving money immediately after the job is completed.
Since the service was launched in August 2018, Taimy has been used by more than 1 million users and more than 10,000 stores in areas centered on the Tokyo metropolitan area, Aichi Prefecture, Kansai region, and Kyushu region.
Through this alliance with FamilyMart, the service area will be expanded nationwide, and the company aims to expand new ways of working throughout Japan, stimulate the latent labor force that can work for short periods of time, and contribute to the nationwide labor shortage due to the declining birthrate and aging population, etc.
FamilyMart has invested in store labor-saving measures at headquarters, such as the introduction of self-checkout systems, as a measure to support franchisees in the face of labor shortages, as well as strengthening its store staffing system in cooperation with Famima Support, a group company temporary staffing agency, and providing one day of free operation per year for franchisees to take vacation time, The company has also been working to strengthen its store staffing system in cooperation with Famima Support, a Group company's temporary staffing agency.
The introduction of "Timey" will enable more flexible hiring at FamilyMart stores around the country and provide part-time job opportunities for those who have experience working at convenience stores.
Timmy and FamilyMart will work together to provide more opportunities for those who want to work and reduce the burden on stores to create matching opportunities and relieve labor shortages.

Four features that make it easy for stores to use
● Eliminates sudden absences and manpower shortages!
No hiring interviews are required because matching with workers is completed on the application. The app boasts a 95% matching rate and a minimum matching time of 8 seconds, making it possible to respond to sudden vacancies.
Mutual evaluation" mechanism to ensure the quality of workers
A system of mutual evaluation between stores and workers (*) after work ensures workers' sense of responsibility. In addition, reviews and skills accumulated by workers can be checked in advance.
Versatility of the mutual evaluation mechanism
Reviews accumulated on the store side will help improve the matching rate and working environment.
●Long-term, part-time employment.
Workers who are eager to work for us can be hired on the spot for a longer period of time. This allows us to prevent early job turnover, since we can hire workers after confirming in advance their compatibility with the store, which is not possible through interviews alone.
