On June 1, 2023, the ban on recruitment by companies targeting university and graduate students graduating next spring has been lifted. Maybe that’s why I felt so many people who looked like students dressed in recruit suits when I went to work that day.
According to the so-called “job-hunting rules,” company briefings can be held after March of third-year students, and recruitment interviews can be held after June of fourth-year students. However, there is no compulsion, and many companies have already started recruiting activities, and many students have received job offers.
According to the “Employment Process Survey” by Recruit Shushoku Mirai Institute (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), the job offer rate as of May 15 has reached 72.1%.
Many students continue job hunting in June
Against the backdrop of the economic recovery and chronic labor shortages, companies are accelerating their hiring activities. The ban on hiring interviews will be lifted on June 1, but it seems that there are quite a few companies that have started interviewing before that.
According to a survey released on May 24 by Recruit Shushoku Mirai Institute, as of May 15, before the ban on hiring interviews was lifted, the job offer rate for students graduating in 2024 (excluding graduate students) was 72.1%, a high level. It is transitioning. Compared to the same month of the previous year, it increased by 6.7 points. The upward trend continues, suggesting that companies are accelerating their hiring activities.

“Looking at the job offer rate by region, Kanto, Chubu, and Kinki exceed 70%, but there is a difference at 61.7% in other regions.
The implementation rate of job hunting activities was 58.0%, down 1.7 percentage points from the same month last year. Among them, 43.6% (up 0.6 percentage points from the previous year) of those who received job offers went on job hunting, which is about the same level as the previous year. Although the job offer rate is higher than the previous year, it seems that the same number of students as in the previous year are continuing their job hunting activities.
points out.
Furthermore, when we asked students who are continuing job hunting about their intentions to end their activities and continue, 14.4% of the students answered that they would like to finish job hunting by the end of this month. 34.4% answered that they would like to finish job hunting, 32.6% answered that they would continue job hunting after next month, and 18.5% answered that they had not decided yet/don’t know.
Looking at this among those who have received unofficial job offers, only 23.4% of the students answered that they would “finish job hunting by the end of this month.” 45.5% of the students answered, “I plan to finish job hunting within the next month,” and 20.9% answered, “I plan to continue job hunting after next month.” It turned out that they plan to continue their activities. 10.2% said they hadn’t decided yet/don’t know. 【refer graph1】
