“Online factory guidance” for recruitment activities Increase in participants from outside the prefecture Fukushima June 1, 13:35

Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, we cannot do recruitment activities as we did every year, so manufacturers in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, are providing factory guidance to students online, which is increasing the number of participants from outside the prefecture.

Hokuto Formwork Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which manufactures concrete products in Koriyama City, plans to hire around four new graduate students this year, but due to the lack of a joint company information session, students taking the recruitment examination are the usual year. It stays about one-third.

For this reason, we have started a new online factory guide.

The hiring staff will take pictures with a camera and explain to students who have applied in advance how the laser is used to process and weld iron.

Until last year, 90% of the applicants were students in the prefecture, but the company is feeling the response as the number of applications for participation from outside the prefecture is increasing in the online factory guide.

President Masanori Endo said, "I can easily coordinate with the students in terms of time, etc. and I really feel the merit of online, so I want to use this method even after the infection is over."
