[Held on Tuesday, June 16] How to Build an 'All-Hands Hiring Organization' Realized by Referral x Alumni, Not Just Cost Reduction

Willof Partner Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Takumi Shimizu), which provides the cloud service 'Refcome' that activates referral hiring within the Will Group, will hold a free online seminar titled 'How to Build an All-Hands Hiring Organization Realized by Referral x Alumni, Not Just Cost Reduction' on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. As the demand for DX human resources expands across all industries and sectors, hiring engineers has become a critical theme that determines corporate growth. While many companies face challenges in talent acquisition, what is now required is not just a hiring measure but a system for the entire organization to address talent acquisition. In recent years, 'referral hiring,' which involves employees, and 'alumni hiring,' which continuously leverages relationships with former employees, have been attracting attention. Both are being implemented as measures that not only expand hiring channels but also strengthen organizational culture and engagement. In this seminar, Willof Partner will structurally explain the five-tier impact of referral hiring on an organization, from 'dramatic reduction in hiring cost per person' to 'cultural transformation.' Yuka Ashikawa, founder of the engineer hiring specialized service 'LeIN' and currently Vice President of Hackazook Co., Ltd., will introduce future human resource strategies from the perspective of the BBB strategy (Buy, Build, Borrow) that spans hiring, development, and talent utilization, based on her company's 'Survey on Resignation and Job Change Awareness Told by Engineers Themselves.' • HR personnel facing difficulties in hiring DX talent/engineers and feeling the limits of conventional methods • Operational staff who have introduced a referral hiring system but are struggling to expand its operation • HR managers who want to position hiring as a starting point for management strategy and organizational transformation • HR managers who want to solve the soaring agency fees not through cost reduction but through structural reform ・Seminar Overview Date and Time Tuesday, June 16, 2026, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Participation Fee Free Capacity 100 people (first-come, first-served) Participation Method Zoom delivery ▼ Apply here https://na2.hubs.ly/H05GBGV0 Program • Opening / Introduction of Speakers • BBB Strategy x Engineers' True Feelings: What's Next for Mid-Career Hiring?
