Two-Year Consecutive Win | Re-grit Partners Receives Excellence Award at 'Career Ownership Management AWARD 2026'

Re-grit Partners (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoshi Yamaki) has received the Excellence Award (Small to Mid-sized Enterprise Division) at the 'Career Ownership Management AWARD 2026' hosted by PERSOL CAREER.

The company also received the same award in 2025, marking two consecutive years of recognition.

The award recognizes their unique approach to graduate recruitment, where they engage with the potential of each student and design the hiring process as a 'growth experience' for them to contemplate their own career paths.

■ About the Career Ownership Management AWARD 2026

The Career Ownership Management AWARD is hosted by the secretariat of the Career Ownership Management AWARD Executive Committee (within PERSOL CAREER). The jury is composed of experts, including Kunio Ito, head of the CFO Education and Research Center at Hitotsubashi University, a leading authority on human capital management. It is one of Japan's premier awards dedicated to career ownership management.

The award aims to honor companies that promote and practice 'career ownership management' to realize sustainable growth for both individuals and organizations.

Eligible companies are those actively creating environments where employees and candidates can proactively map their careers, challenge themselves, and grow of their own volition.

■ Jury Comments

The jury provided the following comments regarding the company's transformation in recruitment:

'We highly evaluate the shift towards turning recruitment into a space that generates growth experiences for students themselves.'

'The Re-grit Academy is excellent for enhancing students' depth of understanding through self-analysis, corporate analysis, and strategic career planning, while providing support to verbalize their ideal career plans throughout the selection process. Additionally, the practice of recruiters managing post-hiring assignments and connecting initial individual understanding to growth opportunities is highly effective. The 26-fold increase in applicants, high external evaluation, and the commercialization of this model justify the Excellence Award. Going forward, we hope that through this growth design starting from recruitment, the company will accelerate the output of 'powerful individuals' after joining, thereby enhancing the feasibility of developing CxO-level talent.'

■ Recognized Initiatives

The company designs graduate recruitment not merely as a 'matching ground between companies and students,' but as a 'growth experience' where students can think deeply about their future and careers and choose their path proactively.

In recent years, the amount of information available during job hunting has continued to increase. However, many students struggle with questions like 'What criteria should I choose by?' or 'I cannot see an environment that suits me.'

In response to these challenges, the company believes that genuine job hunting is not just about 'which company to join,' but about thinking 'what capabilities to polish and what future to build.'

Based on this philosophy, the entire recruitment activity is designed as a single experience to enable each student to confront their values and possibilities and choose their career proactively.

Re-grit Academy | A Program to Deepen 'Career Understanding,' Not Just 'Corporate Understanding'

The company operates a unique program called 'Re-grit Academy' so that students can think proactively about their future careers and work styles.

This program does not aim for company promotion, but provides essential career formation support that is useful even after entering society, such as strategic career thinking, self-analysis, corporate analysis, and selection preparation.

By helping students understand what life they want to lead and what environment they want to grow in before considering 'which company is good,' the program provides opportunities to nurture their career ownership.

Selection Style | A Design Where 'Self-Understanding' Deepens as the Selection Progresses

In the selection process, the company emphasizes a design where students deepen their self-understanding and career understanding, rather than the company unilaterally evaluating them.

During the process, the company values a flow where the resolution of 'ideal career images' deepens as the selection progresses, through 'Job Hunting Set Up Seminars' for self-analysis and career planning calculated backward from future visions, and opportunities for verbalization and feedback through interviews with field employees.

In every interaction with students, including interviews, events, and casual meetings, the company values engaging sincerely with each individual's values and desire to take on challenges.

Not only recruiters but also interviewers and field employees emphasize the attitude of thinking together not only about 'whether to join this company,' but 'what I want to achieve,' consistently embodying the company's value of 'a company that supports the challenges of people and organizations' throughout the entire recruitment activity.
