A survey by IDEM (President Ryo Kabayama, Tokyo), which operates a company recruitment support site, revealed that the number of companies that are seeing delays in hiring is increasing while the new graduate employment front is changing in the seller market.It is more difficult to secure students than usual, and the employment front, which has become brighter for students, is harsh from the perspective of companies.

 In the survey, we asked 766 new graduate hiring managers of companies registered on the monitor of the Internet survey about the hiring status as of October 10st to 1th and October 4st.

 According to the report, 56.0% of companies are still hiring, an increase of 47.6 points from 8.4% in the same period of the previous year.Only 18.7% of companies have already completed the project, which is 30.9 points less than 12.2% in the same period of the previous year.
22.7% of the companies do not have a job offer, but the percentage of small and medium-sized enterprises with 99 or less employees has reached 40.0%, and the smaller the business scale, the higher the percentage of companies without a job offer.By industry, the construction industry was high at 38.3%.

 10% of the respondents said that the rate of declining job offers was less than 47.8%, and there was no significant change compared to the same period of the previous year.However, the sufficiency rate of unofficial candidates is 1.5%, which is 11.2 points lower than the previous year, and 1.1%, which is 20.6 points higher than the previous year.It seems that more and more companies in the seller market are unable to secure students as they wish.

 In addition, 55.8% of companies received contact and inquiries from parents of students.The number of inquiries about pass / fail results was the highest, followed by the increase in overprotective students such as "accompanying / picking up at the venue" and "notifying that they declined the offer".
On the company side, 47.1% are also working on parents, "holding briefing sessions and in-house tours for parents of prospective employees", "holding company briefing sessions for parents of applicants", "informal ceremony"・ Invitation to the entrance ceremony ”etc.

 Regarding the special selection route, 61.1% of companies answered "Yes" to students of "Target school" and "Target faculty", and 46.5% of companies filtered by "Faculty" and "Educational background / school name". Was there.
