Yamada Consulting Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Keisaku Masuda) and Funai Soken Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President Group CEO: Takayuki Nakatani) will jointly hold the "Yamada Consulting Group x Funai Soken Group Joint Company Information Session" on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Funai Soken Group Tokyo Headquarters for students graduating in 2028 who are interested in the consulting industry. This will be a collaborative recruitment event by two independent, prime-listed consulting groups in Japan.
## Background and Purpose of This Event
In recent job hunting activities, the consulting industry has attracted significant attention. While an increasing number of students aspire to "just try consulting" (Torikon*1) as a first step to broaden their future career options, both companies believe that this profession is not merely a stepping stone but a "profound career that can be pursued throughout one's life."
We planned this event with the desire to directly convey the true appeal of a consultant's work to ambitious students, an appeal that only both companies, which have long supported the growth of Japanese companies, can articulate.
Furthermore, as a new trend among university students engaged in job hunting, "pinpoint job hunting"*2, where students focus their activities on specific companies of interest more than before, is progressing, opportunities for students to compare and consider companies with a broad perspective are decreasing.
Therefore, we are convinced that experiencing the differences in culture and support styles between both companies, even though they are both "independent consulting firms in Japan," at an early stage, and further participating in summer internships, will lead to new discoveries and allow students to carefully consider their own aspirations, preventing future career mismatches and leading to a satisfying career choice.
Through this event, we aim to provide students with an opportunity to gain insights from top-tier consultants and to embark on an autonomous consulting career.
*1 Torikon: Abbreviation for "Toriaezu Consulting" (Just Try Consulting). Refers to a career aspiration where students choose the consulting industry as their first job to broaden their future options.
*2 Pinpoint Job Hunting: Refers to the tendency to apply only to specific job types or companies of interest. It is a style of activity that focuses on targets effectively without indiscriminately increasing the number of applications, by deepening self-understanding and company research.
## Information Obtainable at This Event
