Main Content of 'New Graduate Recruitment DX Summit 2026'

With the candidate-favorable market continuing, new graduate recruitment is rapidly advancing in 'early hiring,' 'diversification,' and 'transparency.' Students' expectations from companies are also changing—evaluating employers not just by 'scale' or 'brand recognition,' but increasingly by 'information quality (authentic communication, transparency),' 'experience quality (consistency in selection and touchpoints),' and 'decision support (clarity of future vision).'

This conference will introduce a holistic approach to recruitment DX, treating 'talent pooling (branding, channel strategy),' 'selection process (candidate experience, hiring speed, interview quality),' and 'offer acceptance to onboarding (decision support, onboarding)' not as isolated initiatives, but as an integrated 'end-to-end structure.' Attendees will gain actionable strategies and insights for immediate implementation and future strategic planning.
