Fujitsu, NTT Docomo, Ricoh, and others to Speak: Moving Beyond 'Fit-Based' Hiring. Advancing Human Capital Management through Recruitment and Internal Markets [7/23 Live Event | Works Review 2026 HR Conference]

Works Japan Co., Ltd. (HQ: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinichiro Shimizu) will host a live conference for HR and talent development professionals on July 23, 2026, titled 'Works Review 2026 HR Conference: Moving from Fit-Based to Adaptive Talent Strategy—Building Recruitment and Internal Markets for Human Capital Management.'

In the era of human capital management, relying solely on 'fit-based' hiring—selecting candidates to match the company's existing mold—is becoming insufficient for securing talent for the next quarter-century. Amidst rapid AI evolution, companies must pivot toward 'adaptive' hiring, which emphasizes a candidate's future potential and return on investment.

Furthermore, the limitations of treating recruitment in isolation have become evident. Integrating recruitment with internal mobility, placement, and reskilling through a 'talent marketplace' is emerging as a critical piece of human capital management.

This conference brings together HR leaders from six companies and university career support experts to address these challenges head-on. The first part redefines recruitment, while the second deepens the discussion on internal talent markets.
