I hope you were able to take a relaxing break during Golden Week, both physically and mentally. This month, we hope that companies that have hired new employees or job changers since April have been busy with follow-ups and reflections.
Just a year ago in April, we posted an article titled "Chat GPT is attracting attention and being used for job creation and communication with applicants" and just recently Daijob.com released a feature that allows job seekers to create a "job resume" using a generative AI. All you have to do is register keywords related to your work history, and the system will automatically generate a job description for you. This is a great feature for job seekers who want to change jobs but have spent a lot of time creating documents. In the future, we will add more useful functions that will improve work efficiency not only for job seekers but also for employers.
Let's take a look at the "Global Human Resource Trend (*)" in April 2024.
(1)*Trends in Daijob.com registrants with a history of job applications and scout "interested" responses, focused on personnel with a business level or higher in both English and Japanese.

Human resource managers were probably busy in April, welcoming new hires and job changers, following up with them, and holding internal events. Also, job seekers have also settled down for the time being, which may have contributed to the overall slowdown in the month-over-month comparison.
