SOKUMEN, a Web Interview Tool for DX in Staffing and Part-time Hiring, Launches New 'Interview Reminder' Feature to Instantly Contact Late Applicants

SOKUMEN, a web interview tool designed to digitize hiring for staffing agencies and part-time job recruitment, has launched a new 'Interview Reminder' feature that enables direct email or SMS contact with applicants who have not entered the interview room at the scheduled start time.

[Interview Reminder Feature]

We are pleased to announce the release of the 'Interview Reminder' feature, which allows interviewers to send one-click email or SMS messages directly from the interview screen to applicants who have not joined at the scheduled time.

While online recruitment has become standard practice, issues such as 'applicants forgetting the start time' or 'not being able to locate the entry URL' have become new challenges for HR professionals, leading to missed interview opportunities.

This new feature was developed to eliminate such lost opportunities and maximize hiring efficiency.

※ One-click reminder from the interview screen. Message templates can be freely registered and edited.

About the Web Interview Tool SOKUMEN

No app download required No login or registration needed Industry-leading low data usage

SOKUMEN is a widely adopted web interview tool in the staffing and food service industries. By thoroughly eliminating common reasons why temporary job seekers and part-time applicants avoid web interviews, it has become a platform that 'anyone can use simply and easily,' earning trust from numerous companies.

It is especially popular in industries with high hiring demands, including food service, manufacturing, logistics, office work, call centers, retail, events, healthcare, nursing care, driving, and security. Additionally, while the interviewer's screen remains in Japanese, the applicant's interface supports multiple languages (English, Portuguese, Vietnamese), making it highly effective for companies focused on hiring foreign workers. SOKUMEN is also used for contract renewal discussions and follow-up interviews with dispatched staff.

Despite its simplicity, SOKUMEN includes many features useful for staffing and part-time recruitment, such as application forms, interview notes, recording, group-to-individual interview transitions, and electronic contracts.

Zero initial cost, no pay-per-use fees, unlimited interview duration and number of sessions, and unlimited interviewer ID registrations. (Free trial available!)

As online hiring accelerates—especially for remote workers—SOKUMEN is the ideal tool to firmly establish web interviews within your organization.

SOKUMEN Pricing

The SOKUMEN web interview tool is available from ¥19,800/month (tax included: ¥21,780), with no initial fees and free support.
