One Career Job Hunting Award 2026 Ceremony
On June 26, 2026, One Career Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, will host the awarding ceremony of the "One Career Job Hunting Award 2026". This event recognizes companies that have notably engaged with students during their recruitment processes. The ceremony will not only celebrate the winners but will also welcome participation from other companies interested in student recruitment. Interested parties can sign up via the online registration form.
What is the One Career Job Hunting Award?
Entering its eighth edition, this prestigious award aims to commend companies that have garnered significant support from students. Since its inception in 2019, the award has highlighted organizations that are earnest in their approach to recruitment by using feedback from students on various aspects of their job hunting activities.
This year, due to an increased number of user reviews, the award has been expanded to include a more segmented evaluation process. In total, nine rankings will be presented, featuring four new categories focusing on the evaluations by science students.
The judging of the awards is overseen by the "Review Award Committee," which includes external experts to ensure fairness and objectivity in the selection process.
