Gakujo Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Taishi Nakai) will hold the "Online Job Fair 2026," an online conference for HR and recruitment managers and university career center staff, on Wednesday, July 22, and Thursday, July 23, 2026.

As new graduate recruitment becomes earlier and longer, more companies are facing structural challenges such as "inability to hire," "lack of retention," and "lack of performance." At the same time, while the importance of second new graduate recruitment is increasing, there are many cases where its value and how to utilize it are not fully understood.

This lecture series will cover everything from the structural challenges of new graduate recruitment to the recruitment, retention, and performance of second new graduates over two days. Based on data, case studies, and on-site knowledge, we will deliver perspectives to enhance the reproducibility of hiring success in a total of 10 content sessions.
