A Unique Job Hunting Event in Shibuya

The upcoming job hunting event titled "Unnamed Company Joint Briefing" aims to create an environment where students and companies can meet without the biases often associated with company names and reputations. This innovative event is set to take place on June 8, 2025, from 14:30 to 18:00 at trias dining in Shibuya, marking its first in-person format after last year’s online edition.

Event Overview

• - Date: June 8, 2025 (Sunday)
• - Time: 14:30 - 18:00
• - Location: 2F, trias dining, 10-4 Sakuragaokacho, Shibuya, Tokyo
• - Organized by: Strobolights Inc.
• - Participating Companies: Estimated 4
• - Expected Attendees: About 30 students from the graduating class of 2027 (advanced reservation required)

This event intends to challenge the current job market trends, where students feel overwhelmed and pressured by social media perceptions and company names. Reports indicate that around half of the students experience stress related to job hunting, leading to a phenomenon referred to as "job hunting depression." By removing company names and focusing on the essence of job roles, company philosophy, and work culture, the event seeks to foster genuine connections.

Purpose of the Event

The organizers of the event, Strobolights Inc., recognize the significant imbalance in the current job market, where a vast number of students are unable to find suitable job matches due to preconceived notions driven by company recognition. The company aims to create a setting where students can choose employers based on personal values, suitability, and job interest rather than name recognition.

Unique Features

• - Anonymous Company Briefings: Participating companies will present their business models, philosophies, and work cultures without revealing their names, encouraging students to focus on the content rather than the brand.
• - Values Matching Approach: Students will have the opportunity to select companies based on what type of work interests them and what type of organizational culture they wish to engage with.
• - Interactive Communication: Unlike traditional events dominated by one-sided presentations, this event will facilitate smaller groups and dialogue, allowing for in-depth discussions and mutual understanding.
• - Networking Opportunities: The event will conclude with a networking session, including light refreshments, allowing participants to continue discussions and forge connections.

Media Coverage Notice

Media representatives are welcome to attend the event and cover various aspects such as:

• - General atmosphere of the event
• - Interviews with participating companies and students (subject to permission)
• - Interviews with organizers
• - Photo opportunities (considering participants' privacy)

Organizer's Comment

Keiichiro Handa, the CEO of Strobolights, remarked on the focus of early job hunting by students, which often results in hasty decisions and a lack of in-depth self-analysis. He emphasized the importance of approaching job hunting without biases, advocating for a focus on connecting students with companies that resonate with their personal and professional values. This framework aims to reduce hiring mismatches that lead to dissatisfaction on both sides, creating a more fulfilling job hunting experience.
