【Permanent Recruitment(Kanto area)】
The reasons for applying for a job among job seekers used to be mainly annual income, work-life balance, and office location, but now, they care more about whether or not remote working is available. An awareness that COVID-19 is not transient is about to become the common norm, and there is no doubt that the ideal state of workstyles in the future will play an important role in selecting a company. It is necessary for companies to actively share a lot of information about themselves in the market.

Many firms have a rather positive outlook in terms of hiring for IT in 2021. Talent demand will continue to increase for those job seekers that can communicate with the local stakeholders and work with global IT counterparts. The challenge for organizations will be on how they will be able to attract these talents as the pool are quite limited. Thus, those firms with a strong story and fast recruitment processes will be able to capture top talent.
