Can traditional hiring methods alone provide confidence in your future production plans?

"We post job ads, but applications no longer come in like they used to."

"We spend significant costs on hiring, but employees don't stay, and vacancies reappear."

"At this rate, we can't forecast the staffing needed for next term's production plan."

In this seminar, Kuniko Usukawa from Recruit Group—longtime expert in talent solutions and government advisor—will take the stage.
