Precious Partners Begins Accepting Entries for Open Company Event for 2028 Graduates

Precious Partners Inc. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Seiji Takasaki; hereinafter: Precious Partners), a company engaged in recruitment consulting, will begin accepting entries for its Open Company event targeting students scheduled to graduate in 2028, starting from May 2026, in response to the earlier start of job hunting activities. In recent years, job hunting has started earlier, increasing opportunities for students to be required to make career choices at an early stage. However, it is not uncommon for decisions to be made without sufficient self-understanding or company understanding. Indeed, a survey (※) conducted by ABABA Inc. targeting third-year university students and first-year master's students scheduled to graduate in March 2027, revealed that 55.6% of students felt the selection process starting the year before graduation was "early" or "a little early." Furthermore, 33.8% of students responded that they "don't know their strengths and weaknesses," indicating a lack of self-understanding as an issue. In light of this situation, Precious Partners will implement content for students who start job hunting early, not merely as an opportunity to secure a job offer, but as a chance to confront their own values and the essence of work, thereby deepening self-understanding and understanding of the industry and work itself. Moving forward, Precious Partners will continue to provide opportunities that lead to employment without mismatches, by deepening mutual understanding through recruitment activities, so that each student can confront their own values and aptitudes, and choose their career path after deepening their understanding of Precious Partners' business and work. ※ABABA Inc.
