"We post on job boards but don't get applications." "We get applications, but they aren't a good fit." — These common frustrations in the hiring process for small and medium-sized businesses may stem from the "design of the job posting" itself. JOB PALETTE Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazune Taneda), in collaboration with Yagish Inc., will host a free online seminar explaining how to create job postings that attract applicants, led by recruitment experts.
The seminar will be held on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, from 19:00.
Background: Recruitment Costs Become "A Loss If No Applications Are Received"
The cost of mid-career recruitment is approximately 6.1 million yen per company annually (※1).
However, if no applications are received, this investment becomes a loss with zero results. Furthermore, the active job opening to applicant ratio remains at 1.17 (※2), indicating a seller's market, and competition for "a single applicant" is intensifying, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.
On the other hand, while the market environment cannot be changed, the "way of communicating" in job postings can be altered. In fact, the top reasons転職者 (job changers) chose their current employer include:
"Satisfaction with job content/role (41%)"
"Ability to utilize one's skills and abilities (36%)"
"Favorable working conditions (26%)" (※3)
These are all items where the "way of communicating" makes a difference rather than the conditions themselves.
This seminar will provide concrete methods for transforming job postings from mere lists of conditions into ones that "generate motivation to apply," explained by recruitment professionals.
