Hakusan's Ambitious Recruitment Drive
Hakusan Co., Ltd., headquartered in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, is invigorating its hiring efforts to meet the growing demand for optical communication products. Under the leadership of President Tatsuya Yokekawa, the company has announced plans to recruit approximately 40 new employees by 2025, aiming to boost its production capacity and secure its position as a world leader in the industry.
A Strong Entry into the Recruitment Space
To facilitate this hiring campaign, Hakusan has opened a new recruitment website that strives to connect with potential candidates by showcasing the company's mission, culture, and opportunities available. As the second-largest player in the global market, the company is eager to form a team dedicated to achieving their goal of becoming number one.
Rising Demand for Optical Products
The surge in demand for optical components can be attributed to the rapid growth of data centers, particularly in North America and China, fueled by advancements in AI and cloud services. One of Hakusan's flagship products, the multi-core optical connector component known as the "MT Ferrule", has become essential in these data centers, experiencing skyrocketing demand. To meet this requirement, Hakusan is enhancing its existing production systems and is set to commence operations at a new factory by early summer.
The company understands that maintaining high-quality standards and ensuring stable supply chains necessitate strengthening its workforce, making recruitment a top priority.

The newly launched recruitment site aims to provide job seekers with a clear insight into what makes Hakusan a desirable workplace. Key features include:
- - Company Information: Details about Hakusan's mission, vision, and key products.
- - Workplace Appeal: Information regarding flexible work conditions, employee benefits, and a supportive working environment.

This comprehensive site allows prospective employees to easily explore and visualize their future with Hakusan.
Introduction of Referral System
In alignment with their hiring initiative, Hakusan will introduce a referral system in 2024, allowing current employees to recommend potential new hires that fit the company's culture. To date, this approach has already yielded four new employees, with referral bonuses offered to those who successfully introduce talent.
