Will of Partner Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President: Takumi Shimizu), which provides "Refcome," a cloud service that activates referral hiring within the Will Group, will hold a free online seminar titled "How to Survive the Era of Hiring Difficulties! What are the Conditions for Stores to be Continuously Chosen by Part-time Workers?" on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

"No applications come in even when posting job openings," "Even if you hire them, they quit soon after." -- Are you struggling with such issues?
The hiring market for part-time and hourly workers is more severe than ever. On the other hand, it is also true that even within the same industry or area, there are "stores where people gather and stay" and "stores suffering from chronic staff shortages." Where does the difference lie?
In this seminar, TECH CREW Inc., which supports labor management and engagement visualization for store staff, and Will of Partner, which provides referral hiring support, will unravel the "conditions for stores to be continuously chosen by part-time workers" based on their respective knowledge and data. It will delve into the true reasons for turnover seen from employee data of hundreds of companies and thousands of stores, and the commonalities of workplaces where staff themselves want to refer friends, approaching the essence of "store power" that cannot be explained by salary or benefits alone.
It's a 60-minute session packed with hints to simultaneously achieve reduced recruitment costs and improved retention rates. We encourage you to participate.
<This seminar is recommended for the following individuals>
• Those whose part-time employee turnover rate is high and are constantly chasing recruitment activities
• Those who cannot visualize store-specific engagement or issues because they are a black box
• Those who want to incorporate employee referrals (referral hiring) but do not know how to build the system or promote it
