Forward Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kohei Nagoya) will hold an offline event for HR and recruitment managers of operating companies at the LinkedIn Japan office on Thursday, May 14, 2026, as the second co-hosted event with LinkedIn Japan.
In recent years, the use of business SNS has been in full swing in Japan, and interest in LinkedIn for recruitment activities is increasing. On the other hand, many companies do not have a concrete image of operation, wondering 'where to start' or 'how to connect it to results internally'.
In response to these challenges, this event welcomes Mr. Takuya Ishiguro, Executive Officer CHRO of LayerX Inc., and Mr. Masataka Tomita, HR Manager of Turing Inc., to share the forefront of high-class talent and engineer recruitment. We will deliver realistic insights directly connected to practical work based on the primary information of both companies, such as the design of 'all-hands recruiting' involving the frontlines, and balancing the quality and quantity of scouting using AI.

Background of the Event
In addition to a declining working population, competition to acquire digital talent and the high-class segment is intensifying year by year. Especially in recruiting engineers and CXO candidates, it has become difficult to obtain sufficient results using traditional methods alone, increasing the need to rethink the design of recruitment activities themselves.
Under these circumstances, attention is focused on the strategic use of business SNS, 'all-hands recruiting' involving the frontlines and management, and the optimization of information organization and appeal utilizing AI. On the other hand, the reality is that specific operational structures and processes leading to success have not been sufficiently shared.
At the first event held in April 2026, we received a huge response with over 100 applications exceeding capacity. As its second edition, this time we will dig deep into not only the 'success stories' of the two pioneering companies that are actually achieving results, but also 'initiatives that did not go well initially' and 'suitability depending on the position', providing participating companies an opportunity to update their own recruitment strategies.
Highlights of this Event
1. LayerX's practical knowledge of LinkedIn utilization design and 'all-hands recruiting' premised on multiple account operation
2. Turing's background of hiring 4 senior engineers and the behind-the-scenes operation including AI utilization
3. Not only measures that led to results, but also early unsuccessful initiatives and the improvement process
4. The current state of the recruitment market and the future outlook for LinkedIn utilization
5. Q&A and networking opportunities among participants unique to an offline event
