Naoki Omori
Manager, Marketing Dept. Lead Generation Team, Thinkings Co., Ltd.

'Thinking Time' was born from the desire to 'provide time to pause and think about recruitment and organizations'. By co-creating with HR professionals and HR tech companies, we deliver content that is beneficial for people involved in recruitment from multiple perspectives. The four issues published so far have achieved over 5,000 cumulative downloads and are viewed by many people.

The special feature theme of Vol.5 is 'Rethinking the “Business as Usual” of Recruitment'. Through content that deciphers the significance of involving the field in recruitment from data, and an interview on 'excavating rough stones' that rethinks the premises of mid-career hiring, it presents hints for updating your company's recruitment practices.

Thinking Time aims to be a companion media for thinking about 'how to approach recruitment and organizations' in the medium to long term, not just a collection of know-how. We will continue to update the content creation and dissemination methods to consistently deliver an experience that makes you want to pause and think after reading.
