Actbe's Approach to Recruitment

At Actbe, recruitment is viewed not merely as an activity to gather people but as a vital process that shapes the company's future. The philosophy revolves around the notion of attracting candidates rather than choosing them. The focus is on establishing deep connections and understanding with potential hires through comprehensive engagement methods we term “entry management.” This approach nurtures relationships by presenting not only the values but also the reality of the company in an honest, unembellished manner.

Key Strategies for Recruitment Success

1. Engagement by Leadership: Actbe's top executives, including the CEO and CHRO, engage directly with the hiring process. Monthly meetings convene to analyze recruitment strategies, ensuring alignment with business goals. The platform allows candidates to have casual interviews with the CEO, championing an approach where transparency fosters trust.
2. Building Mutual Understanding: Actbe continuously shares compelling narratives about its work environment, mission-driven employment practices, and potential career paths through stories released regularly over the course of a year. Also, the CEO's blog and various company-wide tech blogs proliferate insights into company culture and leadership, aiming to bridge potential gaps in understanding before candidates enter the hiring process.

Message from the CEO

Ryosuke Fujiwara, CEO and Representative Director of Actbe, expressed, “It gives me great pleasure that Actbe has been recognized for the second consecutive year by being nominated among the Best Team Nomination 100 at the Wantedly Awards 2026. We believe in reimagining recruitment as a process where candidates select us rather than the other way around. Authenticity, sharing our genuine mission, and being transparent about our realities are fundamental principles for us. This recognition is a result of each individual's alignment with this approach.”
