ManpowerGroup to Host Free Webinar on Legal Knowledge for Recruiters

ManpowerGroup Inc., a comprehensive human resource service provider based in Minato, Tokyo, is set to launch a free on-demand video seminar titled "Essential Legal Knowledge and Precautions for Recruiters". The seminar will run from May 25 to May 29, 2026, allowing HR professionals and hiring managers to watch at their convenience.

Background of the Seminar

According to the "2026 Talent Shortage Survey" released by ManpowerGroup in February 2026, a staggering 84% of Japanese employers reported facing challenges in securing talent, making this issue the second most prevalent among 41 territories surveyed. With the persistent shortage of human resources, recruitment methods are diversifying, including direct recruiting through social media and direct approaches to job seekers. The complexity of the recruitment process is expected to increase as a result. Recognizing this landscape, the upcoming seminar will provide a systematic overview of legal knowledge and critical considerations pertinent to hiring practices.

Seminar Program

This webinar will delve into two main categories concerning the legal risks and decision-making points that recruiters frequently encounter during the hiring process:

1. Legal Rules and Cautions in the Recruitment Process
Participants will learn about the legal rules and prohibitions to keep in mind during recruitment, as well as circumstances under which job offers may be rescinded.

2. Post-Recruitment Practical Responses and Risk Management
The focus will also extend to the fundamental rules on clarifying employment conditions, managing personal information related to recruitment activities, and addressing common concerns that arise during the hiring process.
