Noteworthy Topics

Development of Digital Tools for New Graduate Recruitment

In recent years, new graduate recruiting services have advanced to offer features and services that leverage digital technology, including generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Specifically, features that support generative AI-powered scouting sentences and website creation services that do not require coding are available for companies. Students also have access to various AI-supported tools, such as those that write self-introduction sentences and fill out forms, and apps that help them practice interviews and receive feedback on their performance.  

These tools and services improve work efficiency for companies and students using new graduate recruiting services. They also enhance the precision with which companies match with students by improving the quality of the information used for evaluation. 

As new graduate recruiting services continue to develop features using the latest technologies, their value is expected to grow.

The new graduate recruiting service market (total 7 services) is projected to grow by 5.1% year over year to reach 146,600 million yen in FY2024, and is expected to grow by an additional 4.5% year over year to reach 153,260 million yen in FY2025.

Due to students having the upper hand in the current seller’s market, and companies' continued willingness to recruit new graduates, demand for these services remains high, which is expected to further expand the market.
