The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will host the 'Recruitment Conference 2026 in Fukui for SME Managers/HR Personnel' on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 14:30 to 16:30 at the Fukui City Regional Exchange Plaza (Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture). This conference will present the latest information to resolve 'labor shortages,' the biggest management challenge for SMEs.
In Japan, the recruitment environment has seen an acute 'labor shortage' since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. With this ongoing trend, recruitment costs for job boards and staffing agencies are rising, and early turnover of new hires is also increasing, severely impacting business operations. While the term 'labor shortage bankruptcy' has become common, it is crucial for local SMEs, which often struggle against large corporations in terms of brand awareness and benefits, to constantly acquire new, accurate information to make appropriate management decisions.
This conference, which has been held over 100 times nationwide over the past year with over 9,000 attendees, is now coming to Fukui. Based on future trends and regional information, we will share practical strategies that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
