Howtelevision, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Otonari), which operates GaishiShukatsu.com, a career platform that prioritizes the user experience, under the mission of "Unlock the full potential of all humanity and change the world," announced the "2028 Graduate Job Search Popular Company Ranking (February 2026)" through its Gaishi Shukatsu Research Institute. This ranking reflects the situation at the time of the survey. As student interest shifts depending on the recruitment period, the survey is conducted multiple times. This time, as the initial survey for the 2028 graduate ranking, we compiled the cumulative number of company follows as of February 1, 2026. At this stage, the primary target is university sophomores (second-year students), who are beginning to gather information and prepare applications. Consequently, there was a tendency for companies with high name recognition and those that started disseminating information early to attract more follows.
