While the number of companies that are reducing their hiring due to the effects of the new coronavirus is increasing, in the industry where labor shortages have continued, demand is expected to recover after the infection has subsided, and there is a move to actively secure human resources.
Of these, in the taxi industry, the "MK Group," which operates mainly in the Kansai region, will hire 2000 people in the new fiscal year (2021), which is 2.5 times the usual number, and ▽ "Daiichi Kotsu Sangyo" in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. In the new year, we plan to hire an additional 2000 people in addition to the regular hires.
Both companies continued to have labor shortages, but the aim is to secure human resources in anticipation of a recovery in tourism demand.
In addition, ▽ Cainz, a major home improvement store, is also starting to acquire human resources by setting up a frame different from normal recruitment until February next year in order to respond to online sales where demand is increasing.
In addition, in order to respond to the rapidly expanding digitalization, ▽ "Outsourcing Technology", which handles the dispatch of engineers, will hire 3,000 full-time employees in the new fiscal year and dispatch them to IT companies as engineers. We plan to increase the number of new graduates hired in 2022, who will join the company in April next year, by 10% or more.
On the other hand, in industries such as railways and travel, which are hit by the new coronavirus, adoption is decreasing, and the attitude of companies is also variability.
