SQiL Career Agent Strengthens Support for Sales Recruitment Challenges

In a significant move, Cerebrix Inc., led by President Kazuki Kitagawa, has announced the integration of its specialized job placement service, SQiL Career Agent, with its Recruitment Partner division. This merger aims to enhance support for recruitment challenges in the sales sector and transform the organization into a more comprehensive service provider, offering extensive assistance from the design of hiring strategies to the execution and retention of talent.

Background of Structural Changes

The landscape of corporate sales roles is rapidly evolving. With advancements in IT and digital transformation, sales methodologies are diversifying, necessitating a higher skill set for professionals in the field. According to research conducted by the Recruit Works Institute in 2024, 69.5% of companies cite the need for instantly deployable talent as a primary reason for hiring mid-career professionals. This shift indicates a clear move towards acquiring candidates capable of delivering immediate results.

Additionally, a survey by Persol Research Institute revealed that 57.6% of companies have either implemented or are considering a job-based personnel system. Many cited the need to differentiate compensation according to employee performance (65.7%) and to enhance recruitment capabilities for strategic positions (55.9%).

Given these trends, hiring strategies are shifting from merely collecting candidates to focusing on long-term retention and performance post-hire.

Overview of the New Structure

The recent reorganization resulted in several key changes:

- Business Integration: Combining SQiL Career Agent with the Recruitment Partner division.
- Leadership Appointments: Takuya Take became the business owner of SQiL Career Agent, and Shogo Umeda has been appointed Deputy General Manager of the Career and Recruiting Division.

This revised structure is designed to provide cohesive support addressing the unique recruitment challenges faced by sales organizations.
