Meet our Employees
The most attractive aspect of our corporate environment
is
a culture that celebrates people who work with others to produce quality work.
Nozomi Miyata
Since 2021, I have been a recruiter for Japanese IT companies, focusing on startups, multinational non-IT businesses, and IT vendors that provide development and manufacturing services. Alongside my recruiting duties, I also actively work on building internal systems and providing follow-up support for new team members.
- What are your current duties and job description ?
My primary responsibilities currently include introducing middle- to high-level job seekers to Japanese corporate clients and assisting them with interviews. I primarily work with Japanese startups, multinational corporations, and IT vendors—so-called “SIers”—that provide development and manufacturing services to non-IT businesses.
Specifically, I talk with corporate personnel about the kind of person they are looking to hire and what kind of people they need to hire. Depending on the situation, I may scout for new job candidates or suggest hiring approaches other than permanent employees or organizational issue solutions.
Some people who are looking to change jobs are focused on short-term careers. However, considering the possibility of rehiring after retirement or managerial age limits, I try to propose a career with as many options for the future as possible rather than a straight career path.
- When and why did you join en world?
I joined en world in September 2021. I had previously worked for a recruiting firm specializing in IT engineers, and I had always thought that if I wanted to find a new job in the recruiting field, en world was the place for me.
When I changed jobs, I also talked to people from recruitment agencies other than en world. However, I believe I get better results when working with people I like. Therefore, I decided to join en world because I liked the overall atmosphere of the company and thought it would be easy to work with the team.
- Does en world have any strengths or advantages that you notice due to your previous experience working for a recruitment company?
The thing that surprised me the most when I joined en world was the database. It was fun to imagine all the desires of client companies and job seekers I could fulfill by properly using the abundant data here. I also understood that our strength lies in our ability to attract excellent job offers and job seekers using our database and human connections.
Besides that, the best thing about en world is that the corporate culture is rooted in mutual praise, with many people interested in self-learning. I often hear from my team or other team members asking me to tell them the details immediately after I receive good feedback or comments about satisfaction with the service I provided from a client company or job seeker.
I was amazed to find that many people at en world are willing to take the initiative to ask questions and learn, such as “What kind of process do you use to do your job?”
- What are the best parts of working in the field of Japanese companies as your client?
The best part of my job is being able to support the ongoing growth of startups and other companies that have just started their business or may expand overseas in the future. I would also like to help large companies or companies already expanding globally expand their business further through our intervention.
For recent job seekers, many more people in the systems integration industry want to become systems integration project managers than in the past, and the popularity of this position has increased significantly. Despite the popularity of the position, we always need to think about how we can help people change jobs with a mid- to long-term career in mind, not just for the short term. One of the joys of my job is that I can think about that together with job seekers and make it happen.
- What kind of team do you want to build?
Many of our team members do their jobs well, one task or job at a time, and work with the desire to meet client needs and be helpful. Everyone also tries to support each other, so we have a great work environment.
I would like to support my team’s growth and output by having senior team members teach new employees their work. I would like to continue nurturing a mindset of individual growth and group training rather than having only managers involved in the new employee training.
To this end, I would like to provide backup and communication as needed while considering how to help team members grow.
Producing future leaders would be easy if the entire team shared their wisdom while growing. I would like to create a team where everyone can work with a sense of growth and leadership.
- Are there any challenges you would like to take on at en world in the future?
I would like to improve internal systems in coordination with other departments, not just my team. I actively seek such opportunities because I find improving internal systems and workflows challenging and exciting, and I like solving problems using systems whenever possible.
My goal is to create a workplace where everyone can grow by focusing on support and education systems for young employees while utilizing the tools en world has always had and incorporating new ones.
