Student who used "feeling anxiety"

Rikunabi is the largest job hunting information site in Japan, with approximately 800,000 students registered as members, and is used by many students who seek employment.

Satoshi Komuro (21), a 4th year university student living in Machida City, Tokyo, has registered for Rikunabi and has so far entered the recruitment process for 45 companies through the site. Mr. Komuro says, “Rikunavi is an indispensable tool for job hunting students,” says that there are companies that can not enter without using “Rikunavi” and there are companies that contact the selection through interviews such as interviews. .

I don't know if the companies that have entered so far have purchased forecast data for undecided declines, but Mr. Komuro said, “All of my friends are using it. I felt uneasy when I heard that it was leaking, and I am very worried that it was not misused, such as being used for selection. "

In addition, students who participated in a job hunting seminar held in Tokyo last week heard anxiety. A 22-year-old female (22) said, “Riku Navi has used all of her friends, so she was using it. Because she was a major, she was relieved that the information would be okay. However, there are companies that can't even apply without Rikunabi, so I want them to follow the rules properly in the future. "

A fourth-year male (22) attending a private university in Tokyo said, “Since Rikunabi is also a company, I had the suspicion that this was being done behind the scenes. I'm already worried that I had a job offer, and today I attended a seminar in the sense of researching another company, but I'm worried if this information is leaking somewhere. I feel it. "
