Sapporo Agent Co., Ltd., headquartered in Sapporo City, Hokkaido Prefecture, employs and dispatches approximately 190 Indonesian workers, mainly for agriculture in Hokkaido, based on the Specified Skilled Worker System. In this paper, I would like to discuss the challenges of hiring foreign workers from the standpoint of a temporary staffing company that has dispatched foreigners with specified skills system and provided management support, mainly in the agricultural sector in Hokkaido. In order to stably accept foreign workers, the management side is required to firstly establish a wage level that is competitive with international standards, and secondly, to improve labor management capabilities. It is necessary to make work manuals and improve the efficiency of work guidance.
