What
does employing people in Japan entail? How
do I go about hiring new employees? |
|
|
|
| A1: |
Japan's
labor market is divided into two markets: one
for new graduates and one for mid-career workers.
In the former, it is quite common to recruit
a set of number of graduates from high school
or university en masse. Various methods are
used to secure appropriate personnel in the
labor market for mid-career workers, including
introduction by friends, intermediation by headhunting
firms, classified advertisement in newspapers
and magazines, and utilization of public employment
offices ("Hello Work" offices). The
table below lists the methods employed to recruit
and hire workers and gives the percentage for
each method used. |
