Works Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shinichiro Shimizu) has announced that due to strong application numbers for its on-site conference, "Works Review 2026 HR Conference - From Fit-Based to Adaptive Hiring: Creating an Internal Market for Human Capital Management," scheduled for July 23, 2026, the initial capacity of 120 attendees is expected to be reached. Consequently, the capacity has been increased to 130, and a second round of applications has commenced.

Amidst the growing importance of human capital management, the high interest in the "Talent Marketplace" – a system designed to seamlessly integrate hiring, placement, development, and internal talent mobility – and the limitations of fit-based hiring have driven this response. Many applicants expressed a desire for the direct engagement with speakers and networking opportunities that an on-site event provides, leading to the decision to expand capacity and open a second application period.
