We provide value through information to let you discover “Opportunities for Life”Recruit Group has been helping people overcome all kinds of negatives such as dissatisfactions, frustrations, inconveniences, concerns and so on. It has also assisted their way forward, creating employment and boosting consumption through information magazines, websites, counter services and so on.

On the other hand, our clients adapt to the needs of customers and users, which are changing ceaselessly with the surrounding environment. They also help trigger the reform or advancement of corporate activity itself, expanding industrial development. This is a cycle within which we must also operate.

I believe that "optimally matching industries and people", a task performed by Recruit Group for society, will remain our primordial role and strength, even in the IT era. Therefore, we will strive harder than ever to help you discover “Opportunities for Life” by improving all the products and services of Recruit Group continuously. We will give you optimal support as well as develop services, not only within Japan but also worldwide.

Recruit Group Overview

iction! project

Launched in 2015, the iction! project provides support to employees who are working and parenting, based on the concept of cooperating together to create a world where it is easy to work while raising children. Through this project, the Recruit Group, together with participating government offices, companies, NPOs, and other external parties, collaborate in the aim to ensure employment for parents who want to work.Three key themes have been identified for the iction! project following the results of a survey on workers and job-seekers regarding the balance between working and parenting that was held in 2015 by the Recruit Works Institute. These key themes will serve as the basis for service development, surveys, seminars targeted at companies, and other activities.

Business description

Recruit Career is a company that provides services for the Recruit Group’s HR business segment, focusing on full-time employment services that target new graduate and mid-career job seekers. This business segment is our original core business and offers a wide variety of services by leveraging our brand and our strong customer base built on the trust and a confidence placed on us by employers and job-seekers alike. Some of our offerings include media services that make full use of our platforms including RIKUNAVI and RIKUNAVI NEXT; new graduate and mid-career recruiting agent services such as Recruit Agent that directly connect our clients with job-seekers; and screening support

services which include interview training and aptitude testing such as SPI3. We also are working to help solve social issues through services such as HELPMAN JAPAN, which was designed to increase the size of the workforce population in the nursing care industry. Technological advancements such as AI and demographic trends such as the dec l in ing b i r th rate and ag ing population are expected to cause a significant impact in the coming years. Under this environment, Recruit Career is focused on creating opportunities to connect companies with people and promote social vitality in order to help create a next generation society that is filled with the potential of “people.”

Group Companies

Recruit Jobs is a company that provides services for the Recruit Group’s HR business segment , focus ing on recruiting services that cover all employment styles including part-time jobs, temporary staffing jobs, and full-time employment. Our Travail le magazine, first published in 1980, changed the way people in Japan view female employment by suggesting new work styles for women. From our inaugural issue of FromA magazine in 1982, we further influenced the way the public thinks of part-time work by presenting these jobs as a lifestyle choice. Since then, we have continued to develop new services that match job-seekers with employers across Japan. For example, our service TOWNWORK is currently distributed in 100 regional editions across Japan as of February 2017 to provide a media channel that helps to bring together people with companies in their respective local

communities. Meanwhile, our Hatalike job search site places emphasis on the candidate’s personality and attributes rather than limiting the focus to obvious criteria such as work experience or skills. In addition to these traditional services, we also offer services that support our users’ work experience and our clients’ recruitment and employment process, such as Shift Board – a shift management app for shift workers – and Jobuopu – a job application management system for employers.At Recruit Jobs, “JOBS ACTION” is used as a collective term for our vision of the future that we are aiming to achieve, our promise to the general public, and our promise to ourselves. This challenge reflects our commitment to developing a world in which people can take their future into their own hands based on a strong relationship between work and individual.

Since then, we have focused on our users’ perspective in our efforts with our clients to promote fair and open information and transparent real

estate transactions. Today, our SUUMO brand helps users make their housing choices through a diverse range of channels including our online sites, our free magazines and commercial magazines, our face-to-face and online consulting services, and our model home village. We also offer home support services such as SUUMO Moving Estimate and Amenities, a community support service that facilitates smooth two-way communicat ion between condominium management companies and residents.

Our solid, nationwide customer interfaces and ever-evolving IT capabilities open up avenues for us to offer new opportunities that address customer issues, making it possible to stimulate consumption and contribute to the development of local communities. Although Japan is a mature market with still many potential opportunities, there are imbalances in accessing those opportunities. Our unwavering mission as a company is, and always will be, to eliminate the imbalances and serve society with a source of new opportunities. Setting our sights on the future, we are determined to fulfill those aims with the sense of speed and urgency that it takes to be the vanguard of change.

Our Programs and Systems

New RING is a general term used to describe the various contests for new business projects that are held within the Recruit Group. First started in 1982 under the name RING (Recruit Innovation Group) and renamed to New RING in 1990, this program is held every year and has helped to produce many new businesses, including Zexy and Study Sapuri. With the launch of our new operating structure in 2012, the program has evolved to enable group companies to hold their own new business contests under the New RING brand. Among these individual contests, the Recruit Ventures contest held by Recruit Holdings accepts entries at any time and holds a review panel every month as a platform for business development that generates major core businesses ten years in the future. At the Recruit

Group, New RING is viewed as a way to demonstrate one pillar of the Recruit Group’s Management Philosophy – Creation of New Value – and also is a valuable opportunity for employees to submit proposals and develop new businesses based on their own interests and ideas.

At the Recruit Group, one of our Management Philosophies is respect for all individuals. In order to reflect this philosophy, we believe that it is important to first enable our employees reach their full potential regardless of gender. We have been promoting diversity since 2006 with the aim of encouraging the active participation of women, who account for around half of our workforce.Our efforts began by improving the work environment. In 2007, we further established an on-site day-care center within our corporate headquarters building. These and other initiatives focusing on work-life balance were implemented to develop a stable working environment for our employees.In 2010, we expanded our focus to include initiatives that promote the participation of women in management and corporate decision-making positions. Following the change of our governance structure in October 2012, we have been working to create a culture that promotes diversity in the Recruit Group. Since 2015, we have been implementing a full-scale work style innovationinitiative in the aim to support the further growth of each employee regardless of gender and to create new value that arises from such growth.

Initiatives being implemented across the Recruit Group

Career development training for female employees and their reporting managers

Women‘s Leadership Program -Developing women for senior management roles

Diversity

At Recruit, we provide support to female employees who will be potentially experiencing major life events by holding a career development training session for them to identify their strengths and think about their future careers. We also hold a management training session for their reporting managers. Feedback from female participants, such as “I was able to discuss my concerns over my future career,” demonstrate the positive impact that this initiative has had in helping women consider their future careers. Similarly, feedback from reporting managers, such as “Everything I learned about communication that taps into female employees’ potential was immediately put into practice. The session teaches you about important things in management. Everyone in a management position should take this training session,” indicate that this program is promoting management practices that accelerate the growth of our female employees.

And’s: Our on-site daycare centerAnd’s, our on-site daycare center, was started in 2008 in the same building as Recruit’s headquarters in order to provide employees who wish to develop their career but do not have access to daycare the freedom to return to work after maternity leave. Since the daycare center was opened, the ratio of women returning to work has increased – as of April 2017, 22.7% of our female employees are working mothers. Recruit has also arranged corporate contracts with childcare providers to meet the needs for flexible approaches to parenting support.

Our target for women in corporate decision-making positionsIn September 2012, we set a numerical target for the proportion of women in corporate decision-making positions(as Executive Officers or positions with comparable authority) throughout key Recruit Group companies in Japan,

aiming for 10% or more by April 2015. This target was achieved in April 2015 and subsequently maintained in April 2017 at 12.8%.Beginning in 2015, we are also implementing various initiatives across the Recruit Group in order to meet a medium-term

target of increasing the proportion of female managers throughout key Recruit Group companiesin Japan to 30% or more by April 2018. In April 2017, 27.0% of these positions were held by women.

The Women’s Leadership Program is designed for female candidates for senior management positions. In the half-year vision training, they are encouraged to develop a deeper level of awareness and consciousness of leadership by articulating the vision and goals that they want to achieve and exploring their leadership style. Participants who complete the vision training can see the change in themselves and take a new step into the future.

Launched in 2016, the Be a DIVER! diversity project serves to foster the individuality of each employee to help them perform to their full potential. Lectures featuring internal and external guest speakers and opportunities for discussion are offered on a wide variety of topics, including not only female participation but also the challenge for men to find a balance between work and parenting responsibilities, LGBT, caring for aging family members, and work styles. In addition to holding the events, reports on the events are also distributed to all employees to raise their awareness and contribute to cultivating a workplace where diverse employees can thrive.

We aim not only to meet society’s expectations,but to gain insight into social issues

and contribute to their solution.

Seeking a sustainable world of plenty,we contribute to society throughall of our corporate activities.To do this, we take a long-term viewin addressing social issues,and commit ourselvesto Three Guiding Principles and Five Core Themes.

Meeting society’s expectations

Work provides an important opportunity for people to connect with society and live fulfilling lives. We will create opportunities for everyone to freely choose their own unique work style. It is our aim to help create a society which enables more people to unleash their full potential, grow through work and thus flourish.

As the pace of change in society accelerates, people’s values and ways of living are diversifying. Through actions that respond to the needs for regional revitalization and the demands of an aging society, we will provide a wider range of choices to meet diverse, individual needs. We aspire to help create a society in which all people can enjoy ways of living that reflect their true selves.

Drawing out the potential of each person is essential for a brighter and more fulfilling world in which all individuals can flourish. In Japanese society, with its low birth rate, it is of particular importance to support and develop children and the young. We will strive to contribute to a society with less educational disparity and which meets the needs of all who are eager to learn. We will also endeavour to foster the next generation of leaders through career education and the training of human resources with global skills.

Workstyles continue to evolve as the times change. We will lead the way to a society in which the right of each individual to a fulfilling life is respected, and where people can work with purpose and enthusiasm. To do so, we shall ourselves promote diversity and create work styles that may serve as models for Japanese society. In particular, we will show various innovative ways in which women can play an active role in the workplace, an area where Japan lags behind the international community.

Respect for the human rights of each individual is the precondition for creating a society in which all people can flourish. We shall respect basic labour rights while eliminating discriminations and infringements upon human rights in all corporate activities. At the same time, to protect the global environment that serves as the stage for all human endeavours, we are working to expand the scope of our environmental efforts through our business activities, products, and services in order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Acknowledging our role as a leading company, we shall be responsive

to requests on a global level.

Fulfilling our responsibilitiesas a corporate citizen

TOWNWORK TRY! WORKProgram supporting career education inJapanese junior high schools

Scholarships and subsidiesSupporting the creation ofnew value through talent development

Honki no Shushoku(Getting Serious About Work)Free job-hunting support program

Since 2007, we have been providing support to increase the meaningfulness of the workplace experience activities conducted by Japanese junior high schools as part of their career education curriculums. In fiscal 2016, the support program was conducted for 1,805 students at 11 junior high schools and involved the participation of 35 Recruit Group employees. The program is also offered online, free of charge, to junior high schools across Japan.

The Recruit Group offers a free job-hunting support program that leverages our expertise in HR. Held since 2011 in cooperation with universities and NPOs, the program was attended by 3,994 participants (1,893 university participants, 1,541 NPO participants, and 560 Recruit participants) in fiscal 2016 and has recorded a total of some 23,000 participants since the program was first launched.

Established by Recruit in 1971 in order to give back to the community, the Ezoe Memorial Foundation is a Japanese public interest incorporated foundation that mainly provides scholarships and subsidies in order to help develop people who have the potential to succeed on a global stage. Since the foundation was established, it has awarded scholarships to 622 people, many of whom have become prominent in the fields of academics, music, art, and sports. In fiscal 2016, the foundation provided scholarships to 36 people and grants to 20 groups. Fiscal 2016 also marked the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the foundation. The concert held to celebrate this milestone featured collaborative performances by scholarship students in the instrumental category and graduates in the vocal category.

One of the Recruit Group’s CSR Three Actions is “fulfilling our responsibilities as a corporate citizen.”Our CSR activities are focused on contributing to society, but we also recognizethat there are many issues that cannot be resolved by this strategy alone andmany expectations placed on us by the public. We are committed to being a leading companythat contributes and gives back to local communities with the awarenessthat business growth translates into greater responsibility as a corporate citizen.

Community Involvement and Social Contribution Activities

Recruit operates two galleries in the Ginza area of Tokyo: Creation Gallery G8 and Guardian Garden, which have been in operation for 33 years and 27 years respectively. Creation Gallery G8 is located on the first floor of Recruit’s registered headquarters in the Ginza 8-chome area and mainly showcases the works of top designers under the theme of richer lives through design. The Guardian Garden is located on the basement level of a building in the Ginza 7-chome area and has supported the creative activities of many young artists by holding competitions to discover and foster young talent. As an annual event, a charity exhibition is held at the end of each year. In fiscal 2016, the Aiiro Cup exhibition showcased porcelain cups that were designed by 169 creative artists on a voluntary, noncommercial basis. A total of 5,710 cups were sold and proceeds were donated to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Relief Fund operated by Kumamoto Prefecture.



Our beginnings date back to 1960, when we first started as an advertising agency for a college paper. We have since expanded our business scope significantly.In October 2012, we adopted a holding company structure to launch a new Recruit Group in the aim for further growth. The timeline below provides a brief overview of our history.

In 1960, Recruit was launched from a prefab unit located on the rooftop of the Mori building in Tokyo’s Nishi Shimbashi district.Since then, Recruit has established a history of creating new value and new opportunities.

1960s.

1970s.

Helping people make their own decisions through the liberalization and advent of information.It all started with a new magazine business that was launched to bring together and address the needs of two specific groups: companies that are looking for people to recruit and students who are looking for jobs.

We worked to ensure that people can choose their future direction without placing too much importance on common standards or well-known brand names. By offering open access to previously exclusive information, we helped ensure that people can search for homes without restrictions. We also helped make it possible for people to easily change jobs and have countless chances to take on new challenges.

Helping to change the public’s sense of values, with a shift from company-driven information to consumer-driven information.

In Japan, housing information includes information on the amount of time required to walk to the relevant home from the nearest train station. Previously, the seller was able to create advertisements without restrictions. For this reason, the rules and standards used were inconsistent and resulted in housing information that would indicate a walk time that was much shorter than the actual time required. To address this problem, our “JUTAKU JOHO” magazine adopted a standard measure for walking distance, which calculates 80 meters as 1 minute and which was used in all real estate listings. We also included floor plan drawings and other features that made it easy for potential purchasers to compare properties.

In the more than half a century since our founding, we have been using a wide variety of media channels to offer open access to information that was previously available only to a select few.The Recruit Group has a history of taking on new challenges in constantly proposing new value and new opportunities, adapting to changing times and needs.

In this connection, we launched a wide variety of services that developed our magazine content while also taking advantage of internet functions. For example, we offered a service that delivered the relevant information to potential condominium buyers after they registered their preferences such as desired budget, location, and room dimensions. From the early days of the internet when use was confined to only a limited few, our “Mix-Juice” service experimented with a variety of ideas.

In the early days of the internet, we were already experimenting with various new service models.
