Hiring Target for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2023 Re-posted

Mid-career hires (FY 2023/3)

  • The need for engineers continues to intensify and overheating , making the hiring environment extremely competitive
  • While maintaining its hiring standards, aim to achieve the target number of recruits by expanding recruiting channels
    Continuing to disseminate the "lifetime professional engineer" career style and our approach to career advancement

New Graduates (Joining April 2023)

  • Corporate appetite for hiring new graduates remains at high levels, and competition is intensifying more than last year
  • We strived to create contact points with many students, while maintaining our hiring standards and taking measures to prevent infection, keeping in mind the increasingly diverse inclinations of students
  • However, due to robust hiring demand from manufacturers throughout the country and student preference for local jobs is strengthening, we are struggling to secure the required number of hires
