Free Online Seminars for Small Businesses on Job Listings

In response to the overwhelming feedback from the "Hello Work Immediate Improvement Seminar" held in August 2026, Sketch Co., Ltd. is organizing a series of free online seminars titled "Making the Most of Hello Work". From September 2 to September 30, these seminars will be conducted weekly, totaling 11 sessions. Targeting HR personnel and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises, these seminars aim to educate attendees on more than just the writing of job postings.

During the 45-minute sessions, participants will learn how to effectively utilize various features provided by Hello Work, such as direct requests, mini company information sessions, interviews, PR boards, and videos that can maximize the visibility of job postings after they are live.

Background of the Seminar

The success of the August seminars highlighted the struggles many small companies face, such as ineffective applications despite utilizing Hello Work, and uncertainty on how to improve their job postings. These concerns led to a significant increase in enrollment from HR and recruitment personnel.

Feedback from participants indicates the value of the information shared, with comments underscoring newfound understanding and enthusiasm toward adopting proactive hiring strategies. Hello Work offers far more opportunities than merely posting jobs; it creates channels for engaging job seekers and crafting better employer branding.

Recognizing this demand, September’s seminar schedule has been expanded, featuring sessions every week on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Success Stories: Transforming Recruitment with Hello Work

Through our consultancy, various clients have experienced transformative results in their hiring processes:

• - A manufacturing company in Fukui Prefecture received 22 applicants and successfully hired 3 in six months.
• - A construction business in Fukuoka went from no applicants to 7, hiring 4 in the process.
• - A hospital in Kagoshima saw an increase from 0 to 16 applicants, ultimately hiring 11.

Four Key Points Covered in the Seminar

During these sessions, participants will learn essential aspects to enhance their job postings:
1. Key Points for Effective Job Advertisements: Understanding how to make job titles and responsibilities resonate with potential applicants through concrete expressions of work culture, training opportunities, and support for professional development.
2. Utilizing Direct Requests: How to find suitable candidates through customized messages on the job matching platform, rather than utilizing generic templates.
3. Engaging Job Seekers with Company Presentations and Interviews: Learning to effectively convey company culture and job details that cannot be purely captured through postings, reducing applicant uncertainty before they take the next steps.
4. Enhancing Communication with PR Boards and Videos: Techniques for portraying workplace ambiance and showcasing employee experiences visually to help potential candidates envision themselves at the company.

Meet the Speakers

The seminars will feature Kohta Fujii, a consultant from Sketch Co., Ltd., who brings experience from new graduate recruitment and talent marketing. He will guide participants on how to leverage Hello Work not just as a place to post jobs but as a comprehensive platform to drive application success.

What Attendees Will Achieve

By the end of each seminar, participants will identify key points to improve in their job postings and understand backend functionalities of Hello Work that can enhance their recruiting success. The goal is to empower companies to evolve beyond passive job posting to an active recruitment strategy that continuously improves based on applicant feedback.
