Howtelevision, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Otonari), which operates GaishiShukatsu.com, a career support platform for new graduates, has released a special page for software engineer job hunting titled "Software Engineer Job Hunting by GaishiShukatsu.com."
Background of the Release of "Software Engineer Job Hunting by GaishiShukatsu.com"
As the saying "Software is eating the world" goes (Note 1), software such as ChatGPT is sweeping the world, and software companies like GAFAM dominate the top ranks of market capitalization in the U.S. market (Note 2).
On the other hand, in Japan, there are no software companies in the top 10 market capitalization ranking, indicating a situation where the country is lagging behind the global wave of software adoption (Note 3).
GaishiShukatsu.com, which champions "Cultivating talent that can challenge globally and create the future" and has a product mission to foster next-generation leaders, is releasing "Software Engineer Job Hunting by GaishiShukatsu.com" to break through this current situation in Japan and to produce talent that can create truly global innovation originating from Japan.
GaishiShukatsu.com is used by over 85% of University of Tokyo students majoring in information science who are currently job hunting (Note 4), and many talented students who major in computer science or have experience in software development through long-term corporate internships are registered. However, even these talented students lack career information for top IT companies and know-how for job hunting, leading to a situation where they are unable to achieve satisfactory job placements.
"Software Engineer Job Hunting by GaishiShukatsu.com" compiles selection process information and columns on career development for software engineers. Furthermore, it features a community where users can connect with peers aspiring to become software engineers and serves as a platform for users to exchange information on how to become a software engineer. GaishiShukatsu.com will continue to support the careers of students aiming to become software engineers.
