Noteworthy Topics
Direct Sourcing Services: A New Option for Graduate Recruitment and Job Hunting
The recent surge in online recruitment and job hunting activities has raised awareness of direct sourcing services, attracting both students and enterprises as registrants. As companies and students begin these activities earlier each year, direct sourcing services are regarded as an efficient method for companies to connect with students early on and develop strong relationships. These services also allow companies to reach students who do not register or enter job-hunting platforms. Therefore, more companies are expected to use these services.
Meanwhile, students have experienced limited job-hunting activities and fewer opportunities to contact companies, as enterprises provide online events instead of physical joint job fairs and other face-to-face events. This has led students to feel insufficiency to make an impression or reach a mutual understanding. This encouraged students to register for direct sourcing services as a method to demonstrate their eagerness and intentions to be employed. Consequently, more students are expected to use these services.
Future Outlook
The graduate recruitment services market is expected to reach 131,210 million yen in FY2022, marking a 7.1% year-over-year increase. Then, it is expected to reach 140,170 million yen in FY2023, which is a 6.8% year-over-year increase.
These services are expected to continue thriving as more companies express a willingness to hire recent graduates. As demand for these services diversifies, service providers are required to respond by offering solutions. Consequently, the market is expected to continue growing.
