As Japan accelerates its adoption of AI, automation, and digital transformation (DX), companies continue to rethink how they can operate more efficiently and improve their performance despite a growing shortage of skilled talent and manpower. With an aging population, stricter immigration policies and numerous other challenges, organizations are competing for the same limited pool of qualified professionals and are under increasing pressure to do more, faster, with fewer resources. As a result, attracting and hiring tech talent has become one of the most critical challenges for companies growing in Japan.
In this panel discussion, we will share practical insights to help you better understand:
- The new challenges Talent Acquisition teams must prepare for - Common hiring mistakes and how to avoid them - The impact of technology and AI on recruiting - What works and what doesn’t work in today’s tech hiring market - Practical ideas to improve hiring efficiency and performance - Key ingredients for hiring success and long-term competitiveness - Short-term solutions and long-term hiring strategies
Whether you are a Talent Acquisition professional, hiring manager, or business leader, we invite you to join us for this interactive panel discussion to gain practical insights, fresh perspectives, and proven strategies to help your organization attract, engage, and hire top tech talent in Japan.
We hope this session will help realize that, whether you work for a large established organization or a growing startup, the right approach (combined with the right team) can help you attract—and retain—the best tech professionals in the market.
