Gakujo Co., Ltd. conducted an Internet questionnaire on job hunting for university and graduate students scheduled to graduate (complete) in March 2021.
The investigation was conducted from May 2020st to May 5th, 1 during the state of emergency declaration issued by the government nationwide due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. It was held for university and graduate students scheduled to graduate (complete) in March 5, and the number of respondents was 10.
According to the survey, 11.2% of students "have not yet found a job", reflecting the effects of the new coronavirus infection.In addition, the number of students who are currently continuing job hunting is 66.1% (2019% in 76.5), which is lower than the previous year, but when combined with the students before job hunting, it is expected to rise to the same level as the previous year and raise the activity rate after June. ..
The unofficial rate at the beginning of May was 5%, an increase of 39.8 points from April, but the selection progress in April was not good, and it was almost the same as the previous year.4% of the students who have obtained a private offer from multiple companies answered that they "strongly want to join the company".It seems that they are in the stage of getting a job offer from a favorite or a company close to it and deciding where to work.
In March 2020, when the ban on job hunting was lifted, the highest number of contacts with the company was 3%.However, according to the same month 14.6 survey, March was 2019%, indicating that the activity has decreased since the beginning of the year due to the influence of the new coronavirus infection, especially after February.The final interview period was only 3% in April, which was the largest number due to the stagnation of selection in April, which was a significant decrease of 25.4 points compared to the same month 2 survey.
When asked about follow-ups such as social gatherings from companies that have been unofficially decided, the number of "social gatherings" decreased significantly (2019% → 39.5%) compared to the same period in 27.3, and due to the influence of the new coronavirus infectious disease, we invited unofficial appointments to get acquainted. The meeting to deepen the situation has been canceled.On the other hand, the number of "interviews with personnel personnel" and "interviews with senior employees", including those using online tools, has increased from the same period in 2019, and it has become the main tool for follow-up of unofficial candidates.
