Concept
With our RECRUITING MALL, we re-invent and digitalize CAREER EVENTS as we know them to help you with your JOB HUNTING IN JAPAN.
Thanks to our job boards (HirePlanner.com) and our online job fairs organized throughout the year, we help job seekers connect and engage with innovating companies hiring in Japan.
More than a simple company information session (会社説明会), our VIRTUAL CAREER EVENTS offer a fun, informative, engaging and interactive experience where you can easily network with company representatives, discuss with their HR members to better understand their hiring needs and corporate culture.
Our ONLINE JOB FAIRS are designed to help you build a real EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with recruiting members to assess which company has the best CULTURE FIT for you.

Testimonials
SaaS Sales Representative, 35
My impression for HirePlanner.com 's job fair was fantastic. They offer International startups, up to large Japanese companies. I enjoyed my conversations with employers, coaches and fellow job-seekers! I hope to join another virtual job fair next time. See you soon on the next opportunity!
Bilingual New Graduate, 23
I gained a deeper understanding of what companies do, accessing information that I couldn't reach unless I participated in this event. It was also a precious time for me to reflect on myself through having conversations with HR employees about my career path.
IT Developer, 32
Talking directly with the employers gave me a better idea of what kind of candidate they are looking for. This helped me greatly in assessing whether I would fit in their working culture. The coaching sessions also helped me prepare better for interviews.
