ABABA Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Shunki Kubo and Tatsuya Nakai) collaborated with the Career Support Department of Toyo University to hold 'ABABA Registration Guidance Sessions' for the university's fourth-year students on April 16 (Thu) and 17 (Fri), 2026.
Following this initiative, the service 'ABABA' has been positioned as an 'officially recommended service' in Toyo University's career support. While ABABA has collaborated with various universities in the past, this partnership goes a step further, with the university officially guiding students to use the tool as a key support system for their job search.
■ Background and Objectives
During the peak of the job-hunting season, a certain number of students reach the final interview stage but are ultimately not hired. While reaching the final selection is a process that deserves recognition, failing to secure a job offer often leads to a loss of self-confidence.
Participating students at the event shared concerns about the heavy psychological burden of being rejected after a final interview. In response, Toyo University introduced ABABA as a mechanism to turn those final interview experiences into scouting opportunities from other companies, promoting it as a new form of student support.
This partnership was formed after the university determined the service's utility for student support. Information provided through educational institutions serves as a key criterion for students considering new services. ABABA views this as a new model for university collaboration and plans to propose similar models to other universities facing similar challenges.
■ Overview of the Initiative
On April 16 and 17, 2026, the 'ABABA Registration Guidance Sessions' were held immediately after the on-campus company information sessions hosted by Toyo University. Participating students expressed positive feedback, such as feeling more confident about future interviews knowing there is a 'next chance.'
■ Why Toyo University Recommends ABABA
According to Takashi Maeda, Director of the Career Support Department at Toyo University: 'February and March are critical times when students reach final interviews but may not secure a position. We want to provide a "new chance" to ensure their hard work is not wasted. Rejection at the final stage is a huge shock, but reaching that stage itself is proof of their high ability. We want them to use ABABA as a safety net to realize their value is recognized by other firms and regain motivation.'
■ ABABA: A Scout Service Evaluating the Recruitment Process
ABABA is a direct recruiting service where only job seekers who have reached final interviews can register. By submitting information about companies where they reached the final stage, students can receive scouts from firms looking for high-quality candidates. This allows companies to understand a student's suitability with high precision, leading to high-quality matching even in the later stages of recruitment. By reducing the psychological stress of job hunting and maintaining corporate branding, ABABA addresses both social and business challenges.
