J:COM Establishes New Alumni Recruitment System

JCOM Co., Ltd. (J:COM, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yoichi Iwaki) will launch a new "Alumni Recruitment System" for former employees who have left the company, with the aim of securing immediate-impact talent with diverse experiences. This system will be fully operational from April 2026.

**■ Background to the System's Introduction** In recent years, the mid-career recruitment market has become increasingly competitive due to the growing fluidity of talent in the labor market. J:COM has also seen its mid-career hiring grow year by year, making the stable securing of excellent talent a crucial management challenge.

Under these circumstances, the company focused on individuals who understand the corporate culture and operations and can immediately contribute as ready-to-work talent through their past experience at the company. We believe that by allowing them to utilize the new knowledge, skills, and experience gained at other companies after leaving J:COM, they can bring new value to the organization, which led to the introduction of this system.

**■ Overview of the Alumni Recruitment System** This system provides an opportunity for former J:COM employees (those who were employed as full-time employees for a certain period) to rejoin the company through the same selection process as general mid-career hires.

**<Key Features>** **<u>Expectation for Immediate Contribution</u>** As they understand J:COM's corporate culture and business processes, smooth adaptation to the workplace is possible.

**<u>Return of External Experience</u>** By bringing back skills, knowledge, and networks gained after leaving the company, they contribute to the creation of new value.

**<u>Fair and Transparent Selection</u>** Selection will be conducted under the same process as for mid-career applicants, and compensation will be comprehensively determined based on experience after leaving the company.

*The existing "Welcome Back System" for employees who left due to family reasons will continue to operate as a separate system.

**■ Application and Usage** Applications for the alumni recruitment system will be accepted through a dedicated page newly established on J:COM's recruitment website.

In addition to applying for publicly available mid-career positions, we also plan to provide information through career registration.

Through this system, J:COM aims to be a company that can maintain positive relationships even after employees leave, and will promote the establishment of a talent circulation model that respects diverse careers and encourages challenges.
