■Before joining RGF Professional Recruitment Japan

As a new grad, I joined a large apparel company and did administrative work, overlooking the hiring, training, evaluation, and management of workers. There, I became aware of how each person can help an organization grow. 

My previous workplace, an HR VC, specialized in running HR-related web & media services and events, putting great effort in corporate sales, new businesses, marketing, internal recruitment, and employee training. 

After the first wave of recruitment ended, I decided to join RGF because I wanted to take on the challenge of matching people’s strengths with companies and help both companies and individuals grow.

■What I currently do at RGF

At RGF PR Japan, the teams are divided according to the type of job and industry. I currently specialize in the IT sector, handling professionals like system engineers. 

I do my best to understand the needs of the client while capturing the rapidly changing technology industry. When speaking with candidates who are hoping to change careers, I make an effort to carefully listen to their stories to understand their values and desired career direction. 

Then, I try to introduce companies with a mission and vision that matches the candidate so they can share a 5-10 year future together.

■My future plans

I would like to hopefully work on a unique job offer for a new and innovative industry and work on an extraordinary project from a top-class company. 

I would like to do my best as a professional to make others feel reassured so they could entrust me with these kinds of special requests. 

I also hope to help job seekers put their best foot forward and connect them with as many suitable opportunities as I can.

■Good/unique things about RGF?

I think RGF’s strength is effective teamwork among people from different backgrounds, nationalities, and ages. 

It is a very open work environment – if you have any questions, you can talk to anyone in the company.

Also, since we are able to collaborate with professionals that are part of the Recruit Group, you have the chance to get creative and create new job opportunities using those connections.

■Why I recommend RGF to new graduates

The human resources industry is changing every day with the rise of HR Tech – it’s such a great space to be in right now for people who enjoy variety. 

Additionally, since the psychological hurdles for changing jobs have shifted, our methods of recruitment have also diversified, including referrals, headhunting, and many more. 

RGF PR offers immense growth for people who can work independently, set goals, achieve them, and can find their own purpose. If you’re that type of person, RGF PR will be able to provide you with countless opportunities.
