Geeks Corporation's Upcoming Free Seminar on AI in Recruitment

Geeks Corporation, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is excited to announce a free seminar titled "Learning from Shikigaku's Consulting Cases: Recruitment's Successes and Failures in the Era of AI". The event is scheduled for May 20, 2026, from 19:00 to 20:00 (JST) and is aimed at IT recruitment personnel and development organization managers.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, organizations are faced with challenges that require more than just quick fixes. This seminar will serve as a valuable opportunity to explore effective recruitment strategies tailored for the era of artificial intelligence, featuring insights from industry experts.

Background of the Seminar

Geeks Corporation regularly organizes seminars for IT engineers and recruitment professionals. This time, we are honored to host Koki Yamada, a recruitment consultant from Shikigaku, a company renowned for its organizational management theories designed to tackle various corporate challenges.

Under the main theme of "What Hiring Managers and Executives Should Do Before Introducing AI," the seminar will propose foundational principles for recruitment, emphasizing that there is no "magic wand" to solve hiring issues. Yamada will discuss practical consulting examples to prevent mismatches and brand degradation in recruitment, focusing on the effective implementation of Shikigaku's principles.

This event is ideal for hiring managers and executives who are exploring ways to leverage AI in their recruitment processes, as well as for those who may feel their current AI implementations are not yielding visible results. Participants will gain insights into adapting their hiring frameworks to better align with the needs of an AI-driven market environment.

Importance of Restructuring Recruitment Strategies

In an era of rapid technological advances, merely employing superficial techniques is not enough. Organizations must reconstruct their comprehensive "hiring systems" to navigate these changes effectively. This seminar aims to nurture a robust thought process that enables companies to truly harness the power of generative AI, fortifying their recruitment capabilities even in unstable times.
