I-plug Inc., which operates an offer-type job hunting service for new graduates, has started the release of "OfferBox Ph.D.", an offer-type job hunting site specializing in doctoral human resources.With the cooperation of Kyoto University and Nara Institute of Science and Technology, 15 companies including Kyocera, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Toray, and GE Japan have been selected as participating companies.By expanding the career potential of doctoral human resources, we will support the advancement of excellent human resources into the doctoral program.
The recruitment of new science graduates is becoming more difficult year by year.However, since many of the new businesses are private projects, companies seeking highly specialized human resources cannot open the job information and have been introduced mainly in the form of "professor recommendation".
OfferBox Ph.D. is a mechanism in which job seekers create a profile that includes their research content, and the company that browses it approaches.Companies can search for human resources with the technology and knowledge they want not only by "laboratory" and "keyword" but also by "knowledge tag", which is a tag that expresses their specialty.Not only can it directly approach doctoral human resources, which are closed jobs, but it also leads to building relationships with universities and laboratories, expanding the possibilities of industry-academia collaboration such as joint research.
Job seekers can also use it by simply registering a free profile, so they can expand their opportunities to meet jobs and companies that make use of their expertise without burdening busy research activities.
In the first year, we aim to use 100 companies and 500 registered doctoral personnel.
