Link Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative Director: Naoki Enomoto) today announced its April Dream, aiming to create an industry where SES engineers can choose their careers by their own will.
Our April Dream is to make SES a "platform for career development."
Why is this dream needed now?
While the shortage of IT talent is becoming severe, the SES industry still has deeply rooted negative images such as "multi-layered subcontracting" and "project lottery."
"Which project to join?"
"What technologies to work with?"
In many workplaces, these decisions are not based on the engineer's will but on the judgment and timing of the sales representative. Even if engineers make continuous efforts, the structure where the direction of their career is easily influenced by "luck" remains unchanged.
"I'm gaining experience, but I don't feel like my career is progressing..."
Many engineers harbor such anxieties.
An engineer's career should not be left to "chance."
Link will change this structure.
Our vision for a "New SES"
To create an environment where engineers can choose their careers by their own will, we decided to change the very nature of SES.
▷ From chance to intentional choice
Instead of assignments decided by the company, we are developing a system where engineers can choose projects based on their own career plans. Only in an environment where one can decide their own direction can experience accumulate as a "line" rather than just "points."
▷ Thoroughly eliminate black boxes
We are making project fees and salary還元 rates transparent, creating a structure where engineers' efforts are reflected in their compensation. Knowing one's true market value is the first step to choosing one's own career.
▷ Collaborators in career choice
Link's sales representatives are committed to being "dedicated sales" who not only introduce projects and mediate contracts but also think together about careers, looking ahead to market value in 3 and 5 years. To continuously support engineers' careers even when their workplaces change. That is the role of Link's sales representatives.
