≪Background of Service Launch≫

In the job search activities of pharmacy students, while there are many options such as dispensing pharmacies and drugstores, it is difficult to understand the differences in corporate culture, education systems, and career paths for each company, leading to the issue of "choosing a place of employment based on name recognition."

Furthermore, pharmacy students spend a significant amount of time on practical training, graduation research, and preparation for the national examination, making it difficult to conduct sufficient company research. As a result, cases of mismatches after joining the company and early attrition are not uncommon.

On the other hand, for pharmacies and drugstores, the burden on recruitment staff is increasing due to the early start and prolonged duration of new graduate recruitment.

In addition, the recruitment cost for new graduate pharmacists has soared to around 800,000 to 1,000,000 yen, making recruitment costs and handling of offer rejections major challenges.

In response to these issues, ROP Corporation aims to resolve mismatches for both pharmacy students and recruiting companies by

launching "Pharnavi Pharmacy Student Agent."

≪Value Provided to Recruiting Companies (Pharmacies and Drugstores)≫

"Pharnavi Pharmacy Student Agent" can be utilized not only for career support for pharmacy students but also as a service to support the new graduate recruitment of pharmacies and drugstores.

1. Optimization of Recruitment Costs

The service supports the optimization of soaring new graduate recruitment costs by adopting a success-fee-based pricing system. The service design is easy to implement even for community-based pharmacies and small to medium-sized pharmacy chains with limited recruitment budgets.

2. Reduction of Hiring Mismatches and Offer Rejections

Since dedicated consultants carefully interview each pharmacy student about their desired conditions and career vision before introducing companies, the selection process can proceed with a deep mutual understanding.

This leads to a reduction in post-hiring mismatches and offer rejections, contributing to the efficiency of HR personnel's recruitment operations.

3. New Graduate Recruitment with a Focus on Retention

By providing introductions after fully understanding the company's characteristics and work style, the service aims to reduce cases of choosing a place of employment based solely on "name recognition" and improve retention rates after employment.

≪Comment from Representative Director, ROP Corporation, Shunsuke Shisha≫

"Pharmacy students are often busy with practical training and national exam preparation, and many proceed with their job search without sufficient company research. On the other hand, recruitment staff at pharmacies and drugstores also face many challenges, including prolonged recruitment periods, rising recruitment costs, and offer rejections.

Having been involved in pharmacist recruitment for 13 years, our company has heard numerous voices from both students and companies. Through Pharnavi Pharmacy Student Agent, we aim to help as many pharmacy students as possible achieve a satisfying job placement, while also providing recruiting companies with opportunities to meet talent who will thrive long-term."

≪Future Outlook≫

We are also considering the sequential launch of services for the highly demanded fields of "pharmaceutical manufacturers/CRO" and "hospitals."

Moving forward, we will continue to offer integrated services from information provision for pharmacy student job searches to career support and new graduate recruitment support, contributing to the resolution of recruitment challenges in the pharmacist industry and the retention and success of human resources.
