"kanauba" with over 500 successful job placements, launches new online mentoring service "kanauba strategic mentoring"

ennoshita Inc. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kosuke Kimura), which operates the job hunting support platform "kanauba" primarily for students aspiring to consulting careers, will launch "kanauba strategic mentoring," an online one-on-one selection process support service for students aiming for top companies, including general consulting firms, as well as foreign-affiliated and domestic leading companies, starting July 1, 2026 (Wed).

Our experienced mentors, who have a proven track record of helping over 500 students secure positions at top firms, including over 200 at general consulting firms and over 300 at other foreign-affiliated companies and major trading companies, will provide dedicated support. Following the "kanauba Method," a unique curriculum developed from years of guidance experience, we will support students who are struggling with concerns like "I don't have any seniors I can rely on" or "My job hunting isn't going well," and work together to achieve their goal of receiving an offer from their desired company.

Background of Service Launch: Driven by Representative Kimura's Desire to Provide a Place Where "Job Seekers and Seniors Can Cooperate and Achieve Their Goals"

Kosuke Kimura, the representative director, joined a general consulting firm after graduating from Sophia University. During his own job hunting period, he had many anxieties and concerns about the selection process and his future career. However, at that time, he couldn't find any senior professionals or successful candidates who had already achieved the future he envisioned and whom he could truly trust. As a result, he experienced a job hunting process that was inefficient and mentally taxing as he fumbled his way through.

This bitter experience gave rise to a strong desire to help job seekers who earnestly wish to "consult with seniors who are walking their ideal career path" and "proceed with their job search while being supported by trustworthy individuals," leading to the development of this service.

"kanauba" is not just a job hunting cram school or a one-sided guidance service. It is a place where job seekers aiming for top companies and seniors active on the front lines cooperate to "achieve" the major goal of receiving an offer from their desired company, by maximizing the potential of the job seekers.

Four Strengths of "kanauba strategic mentoring"

1. Dedicated Support from Mentors Who Are Successful Candidates/Employees or Former Employees of Top Firms

Professionals active on the front lines and successful candidates who have recently navigated the selection process will serve as "Strategic Mentors." They will provide direct and thorough support for job hunting, staying close to each student with a realistic perspective that incorporates the latest selection trends.

2. The "kanauba Method" Developed by Mentors with Extensive Support Experience

Support will be provided according to the "kanauba Method," a unique curriculum derived from years of guidance experience. We promise a sure improvement in practical skills through guidance centered on "practice and output," not just theoretical learning.

3. Proven Track Record of Supporting Over 500 Successful Candidates for Top Firms

With a track record of supporting over 200 students at general consulting firms and over 300 at other foreign-affiliated companies, major trading companies, and other listed companies, we have accumulated expertise in the selection processes of various companies.

4. Completed Online

All services, from interviews and resume reviews to daily chat support, can be handled online. Students living in rural areas or abroad, as well as those busy with academics or research, can flexibly participate regardless of location or time.

Message from Representative Kimura

After graduating from Sophia University, I joined a general consulting firm as a new graduate. To date, I have supported hundreds of students, primarily those aiming for top companies in consulting and other industries, in obtaining offers.

Like you, I had many anxieties and concerns about the selection process and my future career during my own job hunting days. However, I couldn't find any senior professionals or successful candidates who had already achieved the future I envisioned and whom I could truly trust to discuss my concerns with. As a result, I spent my days navigating the job search in a very inefficient and mentally taxing way.

From that experience, I came to want to help job seekers who think, "I want to consult with seniors who are walking their ideal career path" and "I want to proceed with my job search while being supported by trustworthy individuals."

kanauba was launched with the desire to provide not just a job hunting support service, but a place where job seekers and seniors can cooperate and achieve the goal of receiving an offer from their desired company. We will continue to be the "unsung hero" for securing offers from top firms, staying close to job seekers and providing our full support. It would bring us no greater joy than to contribute to a fulfilling future career and life for all of you.
