Exclusive 8-Person Event: United Recruitment Hosts Intimate Discussion on 'HR×AI Frontier' with PeopleX Executive Yasuhisa Katsura in Shibuya on July 6

United Recruitment Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; Representative Director and Executive Officer: Yuki Hayakawa; TSE Code: 2497), a consolidated subsidiary of United Inc., will host the 'HR×AI Frontier Discussion Meetup' in Shibuya on Monday, July 6, 2026, starting at 8:00 PM.

The event will feature Yasuhisa Katsura, Specialist Officer at PeopleX, Inc., who will share insights on the latest advancements in AI applications within HR. PeopleX aims to solve HR challenges using AI—from recruitment to employee development—offering conversational AI services such as 'PeopleX AI Interview,' 'PeopleX AI Roleplay,' and 'PeopleX AI Counseling.' Recently, the company launched 'PeopleX AI Sales,' expanding its support into broader business domains as a comprehensive AI company.

Mr. Katsura previously served as Sales Manager for the staffing division and led new business development at Quick Inc. After the company’s Prime Market listing, he served as VP of HR, overseeing recruitment, HR planning, and organizational development. He later joined startups, including Voicy Inc., where he served as Executive Officer and CHRO, leading HR management, business development, subsidiary establishment, and major funding rounds. He joined PeopleX in June 2024.

Advancements in AI are transforming HR operations and decision-making across recruitment, interviews, onboarding, talent management, organizational development, and human capital management. However, practical questions remain in the field: 'Which tasks should we start automating with AI?', 'How should the role of HR evolve?', and 'How can we best combine AI and human judgment?'

This meetup will bring together a small group of participants to deeply discuss the current state and future potential of HR×AI alongside Mr. Katsura, who brings cross-functional experience in HR operations, management, and business development. The event is limited to 8 participants, with selection by lottery if applications exceed capacity.

■ Event Background

Rapid technological advancements, especially in generative AI, have significantly increased interest in AI applications within HR. AI is now being used in job posting creation, candidate communication, interview support, onboarding, employee engagement visualization, and organizational issue analysis.

However, HR deeply impacts careers, organizational culture, performance evaluation, and decision-making. Therefore, beyond mere efficiency gains, fundamental discussions are needed on 'how HR should perceive and leverage AI' and 'what value HR leaders should deliver in the AI era.'

Hosted by United Recruitment’s HR Leaders Community, this event creates a space for HR leaders and practitioners to collectively explore the future of HR.
