The Need for Casual Interviews in Regional Areas

Despite the existence of many attractive companies in regional areas, smaller firms often get lost among major job platforms, making it difficult for potential candidates to find them. It is precisely for this reason that a "casual interview" format is needed, allowing for easier conversations and interviews. Pitta serves as a unique service that facilitates encounters with actual company representatives,
creating connections based on local profiles and interview experiences.

Shunta Kabuki, Manager at Fukuoka Growth Next and a key player in this initiative, highlights that Pitta opens doors not just for recruitment but for broader connections. The platform boasts a user base eager to engage, particularly attracting candidates with a bold and entrepreneurial spirit.

Insights from Pitta’s CEO

Takuya Nakamura, CEO of Pitta, expressed his thoughts on the necessity of supporting startups and SMEs in regions outside Tokyo. According to him, while the number of ventures operating in these areas is on the rise, the challenge of attracting top talent remains significant.

He believes that creating growth opportunities for these businesses can lead to job creation, expanded choices for younger generations, and an overall revitalization of regional economies. Pitta aims to play a supportive role in this transformation, aspiring to be a catalyst for new innovations emerging from local initiatives.
