PeopleX HR Momentum 2026: Transforming Talent Acquisition with AI

Forward's Participation in PeopleX HR Momentum 2026

On June 3, 2026, Forward Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, will take part in the esteemed PeopleX HR Momentum 2026 Summer conference. The company's CEO, Kouhei Nagoya, will join Shimai Kagita, an Account Executive at LinkedIn Japan, in a compelling session focusing on innovative strategies for talent acquisition in the AI era.

As many businesses face the challenge of a decreasing workforce, finding suitable candidates continues to be a pressing concern. Traditional recruitment methods often fall short when attempting to reach potential applicants who may not be actively seeking new opportunities. The increasing efficiency of AI technologies, while beneficial, can create confusion in the recruitment landscape, necessitating a fresh approach to attract talent.

In this context, Forward has been collaborating with LinkedIn Japan, leveraging the world's largest professional network alongside their AI recruitment platform, Ace Job. This partnership has yielded practical applications aimed at effectively reaching passive candidates and aligning them with the right organizations.

At the conference, Nagoya and Kagita will highlight how leveraging AI tools can create meaningful outreach to talent that might otherwise remain untapped. They will provide real-life case studies to illustrate how these practices can facilitate a more effective recruitment process.
