A new social recruiting service from Japan called Jobring was launched on July 29th. It is the first recruiting service that features deep integration with Facebook. The service targets college students in Japan and students from abroad and it hopes to become a recruiting platform for all of Asia.
It pulls in information from Facebook, sparing students the effort of writing yet another resume online. Recruiters can then scout students that they find interesting.
In Japan there is something called an “OG/OB appointment,” which stands for old girl/old boy. Students can look for graduates of the same university and ask for an appointment as part of their career hunting process. More than 20 companies have joined Jobring including Macromill and Nihon Seimei.
According to an internal survey at Jobring, many students are coming from top universities in Japan including Waseda University, Keio University and Tokyo University.
The website is currently in an invite-only alpha phase, but plans to officially open next month. Social Recruiting is going to expand its service to college students in Asia as well, hopefully this summer. It will particularly target students capable of speaking Japanese.
