AI Automates Job Hunting and Career Change Preparation, Ending Hours Spent on Entry Sheets – Simultaneously Equipped with AI Company Research and Automated Statement of Purpose Generation

Great Beans Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City; Representative Director CEO: Kentaro Inoue), which operates "CIY," an HRtech service that supports the discovery and recruitment of active talent, released a new generative AI-powered service for job seekers (students and those seeking career changes) on April 25, 2026.

This service newly features a group of functions that automatically generate optimized application document texts, such as statements of purpose, self-introductions (PR), "gaku-chika" (efforts made during student life), and work history, for each target company. This is achieved by combining AI-driven automated company research with self-analysis data from CIY's proprietary patented assessment technology*, which has been used by over 650,000 individuals.

Furthermore, the "ES History" function, which centralizes the management of created and submitted texts, has been enhanced.

As a "job hunting/career change DX tool" that "fully automates job hunting and career change preparation with AI," CIY is advancing to the next stage of career support.

■ Background: Job seekers burdened by Entry Sheets and serious "post-hiring mismatches"

For job-hunting students and those seeking career changes, company research and the creation of entry sheets (ES), resumes, and work history statements are among the most time-consuming and labor-intensive processes. Especially for statements of purpose, which need to be tailored to each company, the limited time available for parallel applications in today's environment makes writing highly detailed texts for each company a significant burden.

As a result, the process of "finding a job that utilizes one's aptitudes," which should be given the most time, is often put off, leading to structural issues of post-hiring mismatches and early turnover, which have been pointed out for many years.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Employment Status of New Graduates (Graduates of March 2022)"*1, the 3-year turnover rate for new university graduates is 34.9%, meaning approximately one in three new hires leaves within three years.

Furthermore, according to Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd.'s "Job Hunting Situation Survey" (published March 2024)*2, approximately 66% of first-year employees responded that they "regretted joining their current company," indicating that post-hiring mismatches are a significant issue.

While the use of generative AI is spreading in recent years, general-purpose AI chat struggles with generating individually optimized application documents based on "personal self-analysis results" and "company characteristics." Many users report that they "still end up spending time rewriting it themselves."

CIY addresses this challenge by combining its proprietary assessment technology (patented) for self-analysis data with AI-generated company research data, enabling the automatic generation of application document texts optimized for each individual user and each target company.

It provides end-to-end support from self-analysis, industry research, and company research to application document creation.

■ 3 Update Points

① AI-driven Automated "Company Research"

▲ AI-generated company research report screen (Example: Toyota Motor Corporation)

By simply entering the company name and official website URL, the AI automatically researches and organizes the company's business content and characteristics, generating a detailed company research report.

Registered companies can be searched from a list, and unregistered companies can be easily added, significantly reducing the traditional effort of "doing company research from scratch."

② Automated Generation of "Individually Optimized Application Documents" with Self-Analysis × Company Research

▲ Statement of purpose text generated by "Self-Analysis × Company Research" (Example: Japan Airlines)

Based on CIY's self-analysis data, all necessary application document texts for job hunting and career changes are automatically generated.
