Overview of the Seminar

On August 6, 2026, Will of Partner Co. will host a free online seminar titled "Unlocking Referral Hiring Success: A Look into Glob Company and the strategies behind their multi-store recruitment methods." This informative session is aimed at HR professionals and decision-makers in the restaurant, retail, and service industries, addressing the challenges of securing talent in times of rising hiring costs and employee turnover.

The Need for Innovative Hiring Solutions

As companies face rising costs associated with paid job postings and persistent issues in hiring part-time employees, it is clear that an effective recruitment strategy is essential. The challenges are particularly pronounced in multi-store businesses, where consistency and quality in hiring can directly impact customer service and overall success. At this seminar, we will delve into how Glob Company, which operates well-known brands such as "Yakiniku King" and "Yuzu-an," successfully secured a referral hiring rate exceeding 30%. This representation is especially impressive, as some of their locations have reached a staggering 76%.

Insights from Industry Experts

The seminar will feature Mr. Takuro Yamada, Head of Recruitment at Glob Company, who will share insights into their evolution from reliance on paid media for recruitment towards an innovative referral-based approach. He will explain the consciousness shift among store managers and area managers, as well as how they leveraged referral hiring to include foreign employees in their workforce, which played a pivotal role in this transition. Participants will learn about best practices for creating a sustainable recruitment structure using the Refcome platform, which encourages self-driven hiring initiatives.
