Summary
A profession that matches companies with job seekers, introducing the most suitable talent by considering recruitment needs and job seekers' preferences and aptitudes.
Description
Job Placement Agents (Private Employment Placement) are professionals who understand companies' recruitment needs and perform talent matching based on job seekers' aspirations and skills gathered through interviews. They handle everything from creating and managing job postings, collecting information via company visits, counseling job seekers, supporting application processes, scheduling interviews, negotiating conditions, to post-employment follow-up. Building trust with both client companies and job seekers, along with negotiation skills, is required, and performance is directly tied to referral success. Utilization of information management tools and CRM systems, understanding of labor market trends, and compliance with laws (such as the Employment Security Act) are also essential.
Future Outlook
Against the backdrop of declining birthrates, aging population, and labor shortages, demand in the talent referral market is expected to steadily expand in the future. Improvements in matching accuracy through DX and data-driven approaches will be required.
