■ About the HR Technology Awards
Excerpt from https://www.hrpro.co.jp/award/technology/:
Amidst rapid changes in the economic environment, a declining birthrate and aging population, and accelerating globalization, corporate HR must not only keep up with environmental changes but also proactively drive transformation. Furthermore, from the perspective of contributing to business, HR departments are increasingly required to become business partners to business divisions.
Until now, the HR domain has often been swayed by subjective feelings lacking in evidence and data. However, recently, there has been a demand for concrete evidence and data to show how HR contributes to improving corporate performance and productivity. In this context, the utilization of HR technology and HR big data has begun to attract significant attention in recent years.
The "HR Technology Awards" (sponsored by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Information-technology Promotion Agency, Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation, HR Technology Consortium, Human Capital and Corporate Value Improvement Research Group, People Analytics & HR Technology Association, and HR Soken (ProFuture Inc.)) aims to contribute to the evolution and development of this field by recognizing outstanding initiatives in Japanese HR technology and HR big data (analytics). The 11th edition of the awards will be held this year.
■ Reason for Award
"Virtual Intern" is an online virtual internship program that anyone can participate in, transcending geographical constraints. By allowing participants to experience actual work, it provides an experience close to a real workplace environment, offering efficient and innovative solutions to both companies and students. Compared to traditional internships, it has been highly evaluated as an excellent service that contributes to companies' talent discovery and students' career development, by reducing preparation time and personnel involvement by 90% and enabling an approach to 10 times or more student participants.
■ About Virtual Intern
The "Virtual Intern" is a service based on the concept of "connecting through work experience to lead to recruitment." We guide participants through work experience content produced on behalf of our clients, allowing them to experience work on the web. From these participants, companies can identify suitable candidates and connect them to recruitment.
It enables efficient attraction and assessment without headcount restrictions, reducing the man-hours for new graduate internships by approximately 90%, and has led to results such as 1 in 4 internal offers being decided through our service.
It can be utilized for both new graduate recruitment (for 2028 and 2029 graduates) and mid-career recruitment, for the purpose of internships or selection.

■ About Sales Partners
