Medley's Culture

Medley aspires to become the company that contributes most to the future of healthcare worldwide. To achieve this, Medley has focused on building the best products in the market, scaling them the furthest, delivering the greatest sense of trust and reassurance, and becoming indispensable infrastructure for society.

The logo Medley has used since its founding in 2009 is designed in the image of the heart's pumping action—symbolizing the company's commitment to circulating "blood" throughout every corner of society. The red color not only reflects the color of blood, but also represents Medley's determination to take on any challenge without hesitation.

Medley is taking on a difficult mission: to bring "sustainable healthcare" and "healthcare people can truly trust" to every corner of Japan—and to the world.

For example, Job Medley, Medley's founding healthcare and long-term care recruitment platform, has grown to be used by approximately 38%* of customer facilities in Japan and around 26%* of healthcare professionals. In addition, as part of its CSR activities, Medley has developed and provided products aimed at becoming infrastructure that supports healthcare in Japan, such as the online medical encyclopedia MEDLEY—offered with an emphasis on neutrality, comprehensiveness, and timely updates to promote better access to medical information—and CLINICS, which helped pioneer the online medical consultation market.

To accomplish these challenges, Medley—true to its name—seeks to build an organization where experts with different strengths connect as a team and achieve what is difficult.

Medley has a set of behavioral principles called Our Essentials, which outlines the competencies and expected behaviors shared by high-performing members. Many of these competencies are common among global software companies with significant social impact. Medley places Our Essentials at the center of its organizational development and uses it broadly in interviews, performance evaluations, and as a practical checklist for day-to-day work and behavior. While it is difficult for any one person to embody all 12 principles, they help Medley form teams that combine individuals' strengths and support capability development—both in amplifying strengths and addressing weaknesses.

One distinctive principle is Drive With Documents. It does not simply mean documenting work. It means writing things down at the start of a project and using that document to align the team and move work forward efficiently. This helps prevent information from being siloed, makes context easier to share, and accelerates work through asynchronous communication.

Medley is a company where experts with diverse strengths come together to understand, embody, and deliver results through Our Essentials, tackling major challenges that no one has solved before.

Since 2023, Medley has been providing Jobley—a recruitment platform for healthcare professionals in the United States—leveraging its "Healthcare × IT" expertise developed in Japan to address challenges in hiring and retention. In connection with this initiative, Medley established MEDLEY US, Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, and Medley Philippines Inc. in Manila, the Philippines as a global operations hub to expand its overseas business over the mid to long term, and is actively recruiting expert talent internationally.

At Medley, where the business itself directly contributes to solving healthcare challenges, members often say that the line between "work for myself" and "work for society" has begun to disappear. Many even feel that distinction no longer exists at all—that they are simply working to "create the future of healthcare." As stated at the outset, Medley aims to bring experts from around the world together to solve healthcare challenges both in Japan and globally, becoming a Japan-born global company.

We are looking for people who resonate with Medley's mission and culture and are eager to take on meaningful challenges together.
