The 60th Daijob Career Fair Invitation

Human Global Talent Inc., which manages the bilingual recruitment platform Daijob.com, is excited to announce the start of company recruitment for the 60th Daijob Career Fair set to be held on June 12, 2026, at AKIBA SQUARE in Tokyo's Akihabara district. This event serves as a crucial opportunity for companies looking to connect with highly skilled bilingual professionals.

Event Background

According to a survey conducted by Career Tasu in December 2025, 81.0% of Japanese companies reported an intention to increase their hiring of advanced foreign talent. However, the largest challenge identified by these companies is the ability to accurately assess Japanese language proficiency. This underscores the increasing importance of in-person recruitment events like the Daijob Career Fair.

Since its inception in 2009, this bilingual-focused recruitment fair has successfully held 60 editions. In the last event on March 6, 2026, 94% of the participating companies reported meeting at least one promising job seeker.

Why In-Person Events are Essential

1. Accurate Assessment of Japanese Language Skills: Half of the companies involved believe assessing language skills solely through documents or screens is insufficient. Real-life conversations at in-person events enable better matching.
2. Bridging the Gap in Recruitment Intent: The 2026 forecast predicts a significant jump in student recruitment to 32.8%, yet difficulties in assessing candidates pose challenges. Direct interaction at job fairs fosters deeper mutual understanding.
3. Cultural Fit and Retention: Understanding workplace culture through face-to-face interactions helps prevent value misalignments and bolsters employee retention rates, making in-person events crucial for post-hiring integration.

The need for advanced foreign talent is at an all-time high, but challenges pertaining to Japanese language proficiency and cultural matching present substantial hurdles. In response, the public significance of events like the Daijob Career Fair has never been greater.
