Recruitment Begins for Exhibiting Companies at the 60th "Daijob Career Fair"

　　

To the press　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　Human Global Talent Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuki Yokokawa; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which operates "Daijob.com," a job change and recruitment information site for business professionals and bilinguals, is pleased to announce that it has begun recruiting exhibiting companies for the "60th Daijob Career Fair," an in-person job change event specializing in global talent. The event will be held on Friday, June 12, 2026, at AKIBA SQUARE (Akihabara, Tokyo).

【Highlights of this matter】

• According to a Carrytas survey (December 2025), 81.0% of Japanese companies in general responded that the hiring of highly skilled foreign professionals will "increase." On the other hand, the biggest challenge for companies is "assessing Japanese communication skills," and the importance of in-person recruiting events is rising.

• A bilingual-specialized job change event with 17 years and 60 successful editions since its first holding in 2009 will be held on Friday, June 12, 2026.

• In a survey from the previous event (March 6, 2026), 16 out of 17 exhibiting companies (94%) responded that they "met one or more job seekers with potential for hire" (response rate: 100%).

【Social Background: Why are "in-person" events necessary amid increasing willingness to hire highly skilled foreign professionals?】

　Amidst a declining working population due to a low birthrate and aging society, the demand for global talent from Japanese companies has reached an unprecedented level. According to the "Survey on the Recruitment of International Students / Highly Skilled Foreign Professionals" conducted by Carrytas Co., Ltd. (surveyed in December 2025, with 487 companies responding) targeting 16,681 major companies nationwide, 63.9% of responding companies have experience or plans to employ highly skilled foreign professionals. Furthermore, 47.6% of companies believe that the hiring of highly skilled foreign professionals will "increase" for their own company, and 81.0% believe it will increase for Japanese companies in general.

■ Three reasons why "in-person events" are needed

1. Accurate understanding of Japanese language proficiency

"Japanese language proficiency," which is a challenge for about half of companies, is difficult to judge through documents or screens. Real conversations face-to-face create reliable matches.

2. Discrepancy between recruitment motivation and "opportunities to meet"

The number of international students expected to be hired in FY2026 has sharply increased to 32.8%, but the difficulty of assessment remains a barrier. Joint information sessions where direct meetings are possible are an effective means of deepening mutual understanding.

 

3. Improvement of retention rate through cultural understanding

To prevent problems due to differences in values, it is essential to experience the corporate culture and personality firsthand. Deep mutual understanding through face-to-face interaction directly leads to higher retention rates after joining the company and revitalization of the company.

 

Thus, as the need for highly skilled foreign professionals expands, qualitative challenges such as "assessing Japanese language proficiency" and "cultural matching" have become the biggest bottlenecks. This is precisely why the social significance of in-person global recruitment events is higher than ever before. Since its first event in 2009, for 17 years, Daijob Career Fair has served as a platform to address these challenges, connecting companies and job seekers. As it reaches its 60th milestone, we have started recruiting exhibitors with the aim of attracting more participating companies and achieving more successful hires than the previous year.

【Overview of this matter】

　The "Daijob Career Fair" is an in-person job change event for global talent who wish to work utilizing language skills such as English. Job seekers can apply to companies before the event date, allowing companies to review resumes in advance and conduct interviews on the day of the event, thereby accelerating the recruitment process. Recent events have seen over 500 visitors each time. Recruitment managers interested in hiring global talent are encouraged to inquire.
