What is the 'Excellent Recruitment Information Provider Certification System'? It is a system that certifies recruitment information providers (job media, etc.) that meet certain standards regarding 'legal compliance,' 'accurate display of recruitment information,' 'handling of personal information,' 'information disclosure,' 'screening,' 'complaint consultation,' and 'others,' so that job seekers and employers can use them with greater peace of mind.

Our Initiatives and Future Outlook We have operated recruitment sites specializing in the automotive industry by setting our own strict posting standards, in addition to legal compliance, to deliver appropriate job information to job seekers. These efforts have been recognized, leading to our certification as an 'Excellent Recruitment Information Provider.' We will continue to strive to provide services that job seekers can use with peace of mind.
