Changing the Image of "SES = Black Company." Towards a Society Where Engineers' Careers Are Not Left to Chance.

Link Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative Director: Naoki Enomoto) today announces its April Dream, aiming to create an industry where SES engineers can choose their careers according to 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 suffers from persistent negative images such as "multi-layered subcontracting" and "project roulette." "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 with engineers' continuous efforts, the structure where career direction is often "left to chance" 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 determined by "chance." Link will change this structure.

What we envision as the "New SES" To create an environment where engineers can choose their careers according to their own will, we have decided to change the very nature of SES. ▷ From chance to intentional choice Instead of company-decided assignments, we are establishing 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 isolated "points." ▷ Eliminating black boxes thoroughly We are making project unit prices and salary還元率 transparent, creating a structure where engineers' efforts are reflected in their compensation. Knowing one's market value accurately is the first step to choosing one's own career. ▷ Collaborators for career choice Link's sales representatives are committed to being "dedicated sales partners" who not only introduce projects and mediate contracts but also consider careers together, looking ahead to market value in 3 and 5 years. Even if the workplace changes, they continue to support the engineer's career. That is the role of Link's sales team. System for engineers to choose their own careers Transparency of evaluation and compensation Dedicated sales support for career progression

Becoming the SES standard that engineers are proud of. The SES industry is beginning to change. Freedom to choose projects, transparency of salaries, sales representatives who support careers. SES companies that seriously consider careers are gradually increasing. However, it is not yet the standard for the entire industry. Towards specialists, towards managers. We want to make it commonplace for accumulated experience to lead to the path one chooses. To change the image of "SES = black company," Link will create that "norm."
