Returning 'Unit Price' and 'Career' to the Engineer: Oxford Partners Accelerates Recruitment

Oxford Partners Inc. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Wataru Oizumi; hereinafter "Oxford Partners") is launching a full-scale recruitment drive for engineers in its SES (System Engineering Service) business.

## Why Implement an "SES that Hides No Information" Now?

While the SES industry faces chronic labor shortages, the same complaints have been echoing from engineers for years: "I don't know my own unit price," "I can't choose my projects," "I have no one to consult with." These structural issues are currently accelerating the departure of excellent talent from SES.

Since its founding in 2022, our company has tackled this problem with a policy of "disclosing information to engineers." Revealing project unit prices, designing compensation with high return rates, and assigning projects that respect the individual's wishes. While many companies merely pay lip service to these ideas, we have a proven track record of operating this as an actual system.

Now that our business foundation is solidified, we are accelerating our engineer recruitment to further strengthen our organizational structure.

## Oxford Partners' Recruitment Policy

[We disclose the project unit price to the individual]
Engineers belonging to our company can know the monthly unit price of the project they are participating in. It's a system where they receive compensation "based on evidence" rather than a "vague salary." We also clearly state the return rate, providing specific numbers from the interview stage before joining.

[Projects are chosen by the engineers themselves]
We do not unilaterally dictate, "Please go to this site." After interviewing them about their technical interests and career direction, we present multiple candidate projects, and the final decision is left to the engineers themselves.

[The interview manager provides continuous follow-up]
Even after joining a project, the interview manager (Executive Officer Emiri Teranishi) conducts monthly follow-ups. We have established a system where engineers can consult not only about trouble on-site but also about mid-to-long-term career design.

## Target Areas

Our business mainly focuses on projects in industries that support social infrastructure, such as finance, manufacturing, and infrastructure. We have many projects involving upstream processes like requirements definition and basic design, and we focus on long-term contracts. As a company policy, we do not make assignments where the work site changes frequently in the short term.

## CEO Comment

"The SES business model should allow engineers a highly flexible way of working. Despite this, it's a fact that information disparity and opaque practices remain across the industry as a whole. Based on the philosophy of 'protecting the dignity of technologists and supporting the foundation of society,' our company will continue to provide an environment where engineers can control their own careers." (CEO Wataru Oizumi)
