[New graduate recruitment market recovered from the previous year]
Did you know that the way Japanese companies think about hiring new graduates has changed dramatically in recent years with the spread of the new Corona Will that has hit the world?
In December 2021, the Recruit Works Institute published a survey on the number of new graduates hired by companies. The number of companies that are increasing the number of new graduates hired for university and graduate students who graduated in 2023 increased from 7.7% to 10.9% compared to the previous year. On the other hand, the number of companies that reduce the number of hires has decreased from 11.6% to 3.9%, which shows that many companies are changing their views on new graduate hiring.
So why are you trying to increase the number of new graduates hired?
According to a questionnaire on the number of new graduates hired by Gakujo Co., Ltd. in 2022, the reasons for increasing the number of hires were answered in the following order.
1. Business expansion 25.9%
2. Optimization of personnel composition (age, etc.) 20.6%
3. Based on medium- to long-term management plan 19.8%
For these three main reasons, we can see that new graduates need to grow as a company.
However, while we want to increase the number of new graduates hired, many companies are having difficulty hiring new graduates. Although the introduction has been long, this article will introduce several methods on how companies should promote the recruitment of new graduates, including the thoughts of the author who graduated in 2023. increase.
[How students are doing job hunting]
First of all, regarding how university students are doing job hunting, it seems that there are a lot of students using the app for major job hunters, Mynavi or Rikunabi. According to an article by Calibro, the number of Mynavi users who graduated in 2011 was about 620,000, and the number of Rikunabi users who graduated in the same year was about 490,000. In addition, although the year is different, according to a survey of students graduated in 2021, 48% of the major job hunting sites are Mynavi, followed by ONE CAREER at 15% and Rikunabi at 13%. It can be seen that one site alone accounts for 76% of the total and is used by many students. Therefore, you can tell more about your company's appeal to more job hunting students and new graduates by posting it on job hunting sites such as Mynavi and Rikunabi. There are many other students who use Twitter for information dissemination such as internships and other salons for job hunting students, so it is a good way to acquire job hunting students from there.
In addition to this, there is a different trend among job hunters in recent years. It is not the job hunting that is premised on large companies, but the number of people who want to get a job at a venture company is increasing. I myself have just finished job hunting, so I know what the latest job-hunting situation is like. And the reason why you are attracted to venture companies is that you are young. Because it is young, it is inferior in terms of stability compared to large companies and long-running companies. However, it seems to be popular because it has the discretionary power because it is young, the sense of security for the environment where there are many generations close to the age, and the excitement of being able to take on various challenges. It may be good to attract such characteristics and environment that new graduate students want to work as their strengths.
Finally, in this article, I introduced the fact that the number of new graduates hired is on the rise, the use of job hunting sites for new graduate hires, and the current job hunting situation. We will continue to provide useful information, so please look forward to the next article.
