Recruitment Manager Exchange Meeting 1st Anniversary
Graphic recording of the Recruitment Manager Exchange Meeting held on January 29, 2026.
Background of the event
The challenge of "loneliness" faced by recruitment managers
Recruitment managers, especially those who are the sole HR or recruitment person in their company, often lack colleagues in the same position to consult with internally. There are many candid concerns that are difficult to ask agents or media representatives, and there was a reality that there was a lack of a place where they could casually discuss "what they are currently struggling with."
To alleviate this "loneliness" of recruitment managers, HR Library has been holding an online "Recruitment Manager Exchange Meeting" monthly since May 2025. Since 2026, it has been regularly held on the fourth Thursday of every month at 8:00 PM.
Overview of the Exchange Meeting
Item | Content
---|---
Frequency | Once a month (regularly held on the fourth Thursday of every month from 8:00 PM since 2026)
Method | Online (Zoom)
Participation fee | Free for HR Library members only
Number of participants | Approximately 15 people each time
Target audience | All individuals involved in recruitment and HR (regardless of position, industry, or company size)
A place where true feelings can be spoken under an "anonymous rule"
HR Library thoroughly enforces an "anonymous and flat" environment, prohibiting business card exchanges, real names, and company name disclosures, to ensure a safe space for HR professionals to learn and connect. This allows participants to attend as "an individual recruitment manager," making it a safe place to share experiences of failure and honest concerns that are usually difficult to express.
Actual participants include those dedicated to recruitment,現場の hiring managers, vendors of recruitment-related SaaS, agents, and other diverse individuals, coming from various industries and company sizes. Anyone involved in recruitment or HR is welcome to participate.
Achievements and participant voices seen in the first anniversary
Themes covered over the past year have been diverse, including recruitment, labor management, onboarding, and engagement. Participants have given feedback such as:
"It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in wanting to complain, and I feel ready to tackle tomorrow."
"I heard concrete examples from other companies that I want to implement immediately."
Additionally, several participants have incorporated the information gained from the exchange meeting into their work, bringing about changes in their recruitment practices, leading to practical contributions to the recruitment field.
Examples of past themes
While the main theme is recruitment, it often branches into broader HR topics such as labor management, onboarding, and engagement, depending on the participants' concerns, covering a wide range of real issues faced by recruitment managers.
* Activating referral recruitment (announcement, incentive design, targeting strategies)
* Interview techniques to identify "brilliant jerks"
* Attraction strategies for candidates overcoming salary barriers
* Relationship between eliminating aptitude tests and selection transition rates
* Designing belongingness and onboarding that impact turnover and retention
