Winner's Comment: Shin Otani, Executive Specialist Consultant

I am deeply honored to receive such a prestigious award.

What I have consistently emphasized is not short-term results like obtaining a job offer, but whether the decision-making leads to mid-to-long-term value creation for both the candidate's career and the company's growth.

For executives and management-level professionals, changing jobs is not only an individual career choice but also a crucial management decision that impacts a company's competitiveness and business growth. Therefore, I have placed great importance on meticulously aligning the candidate's experience and aspirations with the roles and expectations sought by the company, and providing support that looks beyond the decision to change jobs, to their success after joining.

Encouraged by this award, I will continue to support candidates and companies in making meaningful decisions and contributing to value creation.
