Our company, under the Purpose of "Protecting and Creating the Ordinary," cherishes "fairness," "integrity," "empathy," and "challenge" as we continue to take on challenges for sustainable development in a society of increasing uncertainty where finding the right answers is difficult. As a recruitment officer, I want to create the future of Kansai Electric Power with individuals who can act boldly and are not constrained by existing frameworks, with "challenge" as a keyword. With that in mind, and valuing encounters with such individuals, we have started using BaseMe.
