Hitocom Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Satoshi Hanado; hereinafter "Hitocom"), a core company of the Hitocom Group developing a results-oriented sales support business, announces that on April 21, 2026, it will hold an "On-Campus Job Seminar" targeting international students at "Tokyo International Business College" (Location: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Principal: Yuya Takahashi; hereinafter "TIBC"), operated by Soshi Gakuen Educational Corporation, which fosters global human resources by gathering and educating students from 22 countries and regions including Japan. (*The planning and operation of this seminar are mainly conducted by Hitocom. Please note that the recruitment selection or employment contract in this seminar is conducted between each company and the student, and the educational institution does not guarantee or mediate this.)
■ Background and Purpose
The number of enrolled international students in FY2024 reached a record high of 336,708, and domestic globalization continues to accelerate. Although companies have a high desire to hire, only 20.9% of companies actually hired international students in FY2025, and the domestic employment rate of international students remains at about 50%*. This seminar aims to create new employment opportunities where both international students and companies can grow together by resolving "two major challenges" in international student recruitment.

International students' challenges:
It is still difficult to complete Japan's unique industry research, resume creation, and interview preparation on their own, and there are many cases where they miss opportunities despite having excellent abilities.
Companies' challenges:
While seeking excellent talent, there is a current situation where companies tend to rely on hiring Japanese people due to an evaluation tendency based solely on Japanese language qualifications and psychological barriers to complex visa switching procedures.
■ "New Value" Provided by This Seminar
Utilizing its expertise in international student employment support, Hitocom provides the following values as an initiative to support both international students and companies.
1. "Strengthening touchpoints" and deepening business understanding through collaboration with schools
At regular job fairs, students tend to flock to specific companies, but this seminar provides an opportunity for all participating students to hear directly about each company's business content and vision through collaboration with the school. This provides an opportunity to understand the business without being bound solely by the company's size or name recognition, supporting better encounters for both parties.
2. Consistent support looking ahead to "results" after joining the company
Hitocom provides total support for the process from visa switching procedures after hiring to joining the company. We significantly reduce the administrative burden on companies and enable smooth acceptance. In addition, we implement consulting with an eye toward retention and performance improvement after hiring. We provide a multifaceted employment support service.
