### Background

One in three new graduates leaves their job within three years. With entry sheets (ES) mass-produced by AI and direct recruiting based on text information, it has become difficult to grasp a student's personality and passion. Similarly, students struggle to convey their true selves through conventional selection processes. Job Hunting Pitch addresses this structure by delivering students' personality, passion, and thought processes directly via video.

### CEO Comment

'I created Job Hunting Pitch because I wanted to reduce mismatches in new graduate recruitment. Hiring managers, who understand recruitment requirements best, can watch videos to confirm a student's character and passion before sending a serious scout to someone they are confident will succeed in their company. Students also don't have to conform to the company; they can articulate and deliver their strengths and visions as they are. Through this system where both parties meet authentically, we will resolve the mismatch in new graduate hiring.' (Fumika Mitsutsuka, CEO of TopTier Inc. and 4th-year student at Keio University Faculty of Business)

### Free Trial Available

Until May 31, you can try all features for free without a contract. Interested recruitment managers are welcome to contact us. We will send you the Zoom link for the pitches and the YouTube link for archived videos.
