Funai Soken Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and Group CEO: Takayuki Nakatani) and Yamada Consulting Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Keisaku Masuda) will jointly host the "Yamada Consulting Group x Funai Soken Group Joint Company Information Session" on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Funai Soken Group's Tokyo Headquarters for students graduating in 2028 who aspire to work in the consulting industry. This will be a collaborative recruitment event by two domestic independent and Prime Market-listed consulting groups.
■ Background and Purpose of This Event
In recent job hunting, the consulting industry has garnered significant attention. While an increasing number of students aspire to "just consulting" (Tori-Con*1) as a first step to broaden their career options, both companies believe this work is not merely a stepping stone but a "profound career that can be pursued throughout one's life."
This event was planned with the desire to directly convey the true appeal of a consultant's job to ambitious students, an appeal that only these two companies, which have long supported the growth of Japanese companies, can articulate.
Furthermore, as a new trend among university students engaged in job hunting, "pinpoint job hunting"*2, where students focus their activities on specific companies of interest more than in the past, is advancing. Consequently, opportunities for students to compare and consider companies with a broad perspective are decreasing.
Therefore, we are convinced that by experiencing the differences in culture and support styles between these two "domestic independent consulting firms" at an early stage, and by participating in summer internships, students can make new discoveries and thoroughly confront their own aspirations. This will prevent future career mismatches and lead to satisfying career choices.
Through this event, we aim to provide students with an opportunity to gain insights from top-tier consultants and embark on an autonomous consulting career.
*1 Tori-Con: Abbreviation for "Toriaezu Consulting" (literally "consulting for now"). Refers to a career aspiration where students choose the consulting industry for their first job with the aim of broadening future options.
*2 Pinpoint Job Hunting: Refers to the tendency to apply only to specific job types or companies of interest. It is a style of activity that effectively narrows down targets without indiscriminately increasing the number of applications, by deepening self-understanding and company research.
