iGoods Achievements in New Graduate Employment Rankings

iGoods Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has made a notable entry into the 2026 new graduate employment popularity rankings published by the job information site Minshu. In its first entry, iGoods ranked an impressive overall 27th and clinched the top spot in three categories: "Young Talent Activity," "Empathy with Management and Vision," and "Retail Industry."

What is the Minshu New Graduate Employment Popularity Rankings?

The rankings are based on votes from registered students on the Minshu platform, providing a multifaceted visualization of companies’ appeal and desirability. Evaluated from five perspectives—job attractiveness, company allure, working style, social contribution, and recruitment public relations—the rankings reveal top firms every year. This year, iGoods not only excelled in the overall ranking but was also recognized in over ten categories.

Summary of Results

The rankings highlight iGoods’ commitment to fostering meaningful relationships with prospective employees. The empathy displayed during the initial meetings with students and how the company engages with them afterward played a significant role in earning this recognition.

Reasons Behind the Rankings

Overall Rank 27: The Impact of Meaningful Engagement

From its inception, iGoods has viewed recruitment as a key management function, focusing on creating opportunities for students and maintaining meaningful connections post-engagement. Emphasizing a sincere approach, iGoods strives to offer valuable experiences for each student, which has led to appreciation for the quality of the company’s employee interactions rather than just its brand recognition.

Top Rank in Young Talent Engagement & High Growth Perception

The company fosters an environment where responsibilities are given irrespective of experience, allowing employees to engage in projects for major clients from their first year. This culture creates a workspace where employees are not merely permitted to excel; they are challenged to do so. However, this does not translate to abandonment; pre-employment training and ongoing dialogue are essential aspects of their supportive framework.

Emphasizing Engagement and Growth

Top Rank in Empathy with Management and Vision & Retail Industry

Driven by the vision of building a company that will grow continuously for a thousand years, iGoods focuses on crafting structures that adapt to societal and customer changes while delivering consistent value. The company’s strengths lie in its ability to capture the essence of needs, verbalize value, and implement effectively. Their commitment to facing fundamental needs rather than just immediate challenges is reflected in their long-term strategy, "igoods VISION 2030," which is designed to foster adaptive organization and systematic updates.

Culture of Growth and Collaboration

4th Place in Employee Appeal & 7th Place in Workplace Atmosphere

With the motto of "People Before Products," iGoods maintains a culture where individual growth is paramount. The company defines "a good workplace" not by comfort or camaraderie but by providing an environment where motivated individuals can thrive through positive challenges. Employees regard each other as "more than friends" and share a mutual respect, focusing on both achievements and challenges.

Looking Ahead: Committing to Continuous Improvement

As iGoods enters its tenth year, it recognizes the importance of their past contributions to their current recognition, while remaining determined not to rest on their laurels. They aspire to elevate their status to one that genuinely reflects their efforts while continuing to receive support and provide value to others. Moving forward, iGoods commits to creating new value through product development alongside customers, society, and partner companies, embracing the changes on the horizon.
