ONE CAREER Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naoyuki Miyashita; hereinafter 'One Career'), which operates the new graduate recruitment service 'One Career,' is pleased to announce that the cumulative number of companies using its scout service surpassed 4,000 as of March 2026. This milestone was achieved approximately seven months after reaching 3,000 companies in August 2025.
Accelerating Demand for Direct Recruiting
Against the backdrop of a shrinking labor force and intensifying competition for talent, 'direct recruiting'—where companies directly approach candidates to create touchpoints—has become a primary method in new graduate hiring.
The scout service was released in 2022 as part of the 'One Career' (corporate version) service. It has steadily expanded its share, highly evaluated for its overwhelming student base (with approximately two out of three job seekers registered), ease of finding students through comprehensive profiles, and high scout acceptance rates.
Moving forward, we will continue to create optimal matching between students and companies to realize our mission: 'Creating as many careers as there are people.'
*1: Share ratio against the total number of job seekers graduating from each university or graduate school. As of the end of December 2025.
■ Participating Companies
The scout service is utilized by diverse companies across Japan, regardless of industry, company size, or region.
About One Career's Scout Service
■ Abundant Registered Students
You can send individually customized messages directly to registered students on the job hunting site 'One Career,' which is used by approximately two out of three job seekers.
■ Comprehensive Profile Information
In addition to 'Gakuchika' (what students focused on during their school years), which about half of registered students (*2) have entered, you can efficiently approach talent that matches your company's needs based on information such as university, desired work location, and desired job type. Furthermore, through 'images symbolizing oneself' created by students using the all-in-one content creation app 'Adobe Express,' you can understand their personality and appeal beyond just text.
■ High Scout Acceptance Rate
By refining the UI/UX for both students and companies, such as optimizing notifications for students and improving the usability of the corporate management screen, matching accuracy has improved. The acceptance rate boasts top-class levels in the industry, making 'ease of connecting with students' a major strength.
*2: Results for the 2026 graduating class.
