Full online long-term internship search site "Kotonaru" (Kotonaru Inc., Headquarters: Tokyo) has launched a free PR article creation and publication service for companies posting job openings, aiming to increase the number of applications for internship recruitment and improve the quality of hires.
This service creates articles based on interviews with companies, detailing business features, specific activities of interns, and growth opportunities. By providing content that deepens students' understanding of companies, it supports an increase in applications and improvement in the quality of hires.
Companies that have actually published articles have seen results such as an increase in applications after publication.
■ Solving the "Can't Be Found" Challenge Faced by Recruiters
In recent years, while the demand for long-term internships has expanded, companies have voiced challenges such as "applications do not grow easily even if job openings are posted" and "it is difficult to convey the appeal of our company to students."
Especially for online internships, where work content and company culture are often less visible, a lack of information often becomes a bottleneck in students' decision-making process for applying.
To address these challenges, Kotonaru launched this service, believing that providing content that conveys "the reality of the company" in addition to job information can improve both the quality and quantity of applications.
■ Service Features
1. Visualize company appeal through interviews
Based on interviews with company representatives, business content, intern roles, and growth environment are concretely articulated into articles. Content that is easy for students to understand is produced.
2. Disseminate actual internship utilization and success stories
Actual work content of interns and their roles in teams are introduced as real case studies. This contributes to alleviating pre-application anxieties and preventing mismatches.
3. Strengthen application funnel by utilizing Note
Articles are published through the official Note account and linked with Kotonaru's job search pages. This strengthens the funnel from awareness to application.
