Sadayuki Sakakibara, Chairman of the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), announced at a regular meeting on September 2016, 9 that the ban on recruitment interviews will be lifted on June 12, 2018 for current third-year university students who will join the company in the spring of 3. Announced that.
経団連では、2017年春入社となる2016年の採用選考から、採用面接の解禁日を8月1日より2カ月前倒しした6月1日とした。2018年春入社も同じく6月1日を解禁日とし、採用選考に関する指針や手引きも変更しない方針だ。
Regarding the selection of college students, the Employment Policy Committee has taken the lead in verifying the actual activities of each company and the impact of changes in the start time.
It is said that the change of the interview ban date for joining the company in the spring of 2017 to June 6 has generally evaluated that the problems so far, such as forcing students to find hot and long job hunting, have been corrected.
In the Keidanren questionnaire survey, about 70% of the responding companies answered that the schedule for 2015 was better than that for 2016.Even in the exchange of opinions with the university side, there were voices saying that it had improved since 2015, and there was no major confusion on the part of the students.
On the other hand, shortening the public relations activity period from 5 months to 3 months has brought about earlier and shorter activities, and there are still issues in terms of corporate research and matching.
In addition, regarding consideration for international students and trainees, it is recognized that there are no major problems due to measures such as setting up a separate recruitment quota for international students and holding company information sessions overseas.Regarding the educational trainees, many companies gave various consideration such as interviewing on weekday evenings and weekends, but there were still some trainees who could not make it convenient, so we will consider further measures.
He said he would take a little more time to consider the schedule after joining the company in 2019 and announce it by the spring of 2017.At this point, he said that he had not decided anything and would put all the options up for discussion and hold discussions while coordinating with related organizations.
