Recently, there was a true story at our company. We receive about 100 applications every month, so we are fortunate enough to be able to select and hire people. There are quite a few candidates from major companies and those with high academic backgrounds, so honestly, we have a lot of options. Among them, there was someone we really wanted to hire. Before officially hiring them, we had them work on one of our projects on a trial basis as a contractor to see if it would be a good fit for both sides, and we were able to say, "We would love to have you as a full-time employee." This person had a typical programmer career and was very talented. Their work was meticulous and fast, and above all, they seemed to have a genuinely good personality. They spoke softly and seriously, and their presence naturally improved the atmosphere. Therefore, we definitely wanted to hire them. So, we offered them a job. However! In the end, they declined the offer. Why? The reason was that they couldn't get their wife's understanding on the matter. This person currently lives in Osaka, and to become our employee, they would need to move to Tokyo. They were willing to do so. ...For more details, please see the "Related Links" below. *Login to Facebook is required.

When I saw this message, I thought, "Oh, I'm glad we didn't hire this person." Recently, I received a message from someone I turned down after a casual interview. It seems that her claim was… she wanted to say something like, "I meet all your company's requirements, so I don't understand why I wasn't hired." To be honest… to be completely honest… I thought, "What a hassle." The reason is that we are not hiring because we have an insurmountable shortage of people; rather, we are constantly posting job openings because we want to hire as many talented individuals as possible. So naturally, we only hire those who we feel, out of 100 to 200 candidates, are the ones we want to come on board. The essence of this issue arises from the difference in values between the CEO and employees or job seekers. For example, regarding salary. The CEO tells employees, "If you want a raise, you need to deliver results," while employees say, "I can't keep going when I'm working so hard but my salary is low." The mindset towards work is also… ……For more, please see the "Related Links" below. *Facebook login is required.

The response is abnormally fast. While I have been supporting recruitment, I have also been continuously supporting freelance entrepreneurship. Therefore, I can assert clearly that... There is a commonality between people who are popular in the recruitment market and those who are popular as freelancers. Whether they are company employees or freelancers... they are capable of work and are needed by their companies or clients, continuously being employed (or commissioned) at high rates. That is... "immediate response." The kind of person that a CEO says, "I want to hire someone like this!" The kind of person that a company says, "I want to commission someone like this!" It’s not about academic background or skills; those who respond quickly are loved immensely. Why is that? The reason is simple: the speed of response is completely equal to the processing speed of that work. For example, in a fully remote company like ours. We have employees and staff scattered across the country, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. Therefore, all operations are fully remote. In such a situation, what would happen if this occurred? Miyagawa: "Hey A, please create an advertisement for the new product." ...For the continuation, please see the "Related Links" below. *Facebook login is required.

Recently, there has been a sharp increase in applications from a certain demographic for our job openings. We are a company that provides support for recruitment and marketing, so the jobs fall under the category of what is commonly known as white-collar work. Moreover, if one has high capabilities, they can work completely remotely and with full flexibility. Perhaps that’s why we receive over 100 applications each month from individuals aspiring to white-collar positions. However, recently, there has been a significant surge in applications from a specific group. This group consists of individuals in their 50s who previously worked in white-collar jobs at large corporations. Furthermore, when looking at their resumes, there is a commonality in their backgrounds: - They have impressive educational qualifications from prestigious universities such as the University of Tokyo, Keio University, Waseda University, and Meiji University. In the past, it was rare for highly educated individuals to apply to a small company like ours. However, in recent applications, those with high educational backgrounds now make up one-third of the total applications. Additionally… - Some have held leadership positions in the planning department at a major automotive company ranked third in the industry, etc. ……For more details, please see the "Related Links" below. *Login to Facebook is required.

As someone who supports recruitment and hiring, I cannot ignore the issue of foreign workers. Indeed, on the part of immigration policy, I personally oppose the idea of accepting a large number of foreigners. In reality, one of our employees lives near a city that has become a problem in Saitama Prefecture, and I don't hear many good stories. Of course, there are many foreigners who are not like that. A Vietnamese girl working at a caregiving company of one of our clients is very serious about her work, saying, "I want to learn skills properly so that I can take care of my parents in the future." Similarly, a Thai boy working at an automotive repair shop of another client says, "My dream is to return to my country and have my own repair shop," and he works harder than anyone else at that shop. It is true that we see many foreigners like that in the recruitment field. At the same time, we also see many problematic Japanese workers. One delivery client had a major issue when a Japanese driver defecated in a small room with a communal mailbox while making a delivery to an apartment. ...For more details, please see the "Related Links" below. *Login to Facebook is required.
