[2020] Informal offer ceremony held! Gentle interaction like Beyond

My name is Kai Fujisawa and I am in charge of public relations and recruitment.

job offer ceremony on October 1, 2019 , and 4 fresh job offer candidates participated!

These are the three things I kept in mind when holding the informal ceremony this time.

1. Enable communication between prospective candidates and employees
2. Don't create an atmosphere that's too stiff
3. Create a space where everyone can see each other's faces

I would like to have a talk with a prospective employee and a Beyond member!

The purpose of holding a formal offer ceremony is to deepen interaction between prospective employees and employees. Therefore, basically everyone participates in the informal offer ceremony and the social gathering. If prospective employees know what kind of employees they will have when they start working next April, their anxiety will be alleviated, and employees will be able to prepare mentally.

Wear a suit for the informal ceremony

No one usually wears a suit to work. Whether it's a jersey or a Hawaiian shirt, it's up to the individual. Therefore, at BEYOND, we have decided, ``Let's wear formal clothes for the job offer ceremony and the joining ceremony, just on these days.'' Therefore, it is only twice a year that everyone comes together in suits. (You can choose your hairstyle all year round)

At a casual restaurant rather than a conference room

The venue focuses on fashion. If you sit at long desks in a conference room, you won't be able to see each other's faces, creating a stiff atmosphere, so choose a layout that makes it easy to have a conversation.

The content is solid in the first half and relaxed in the second half.

It would be tiring for everyone to perform in a formal atmosphere all the time, and it wouldn't be typical of Beyond, so we made it possible for them to change their minds between the first and second half.

schedule

• Opening greetings, representative greetings (10 minutes)
• Awarding a certificate of offer (3 minutes)
• Self-introduction from prospective candidates (2-3 minutes per person)
• Closing remarks (5 minutes)
• Break (10 minutes)
• Group work (60 minutes)
• Social gathering (60 minutes)
• Closing greetings (5 minutes)

The solid first half is about 30 minutes. In the second half after the break, we had a lively conversation so that everyone could have a chat.

↑The presentation of the certificate of employment offer. I have been informally appointed to join our company from April 2020.

 

↑I told them in advance that they would be asked to take two to three minutes to introduce themselves. Even though everyone was nervous, they were able to speak clearly, so I guess they were doing a good job! ! ! ! I was impressed.

 

Discovering commonalities and strengths through group work

During group work, we discussed the ``commonalities'' and ``strengths''

↑ Mr. Hamada, a 19-year-old engineer, was in charge of facilitating the group work. I was just as nervous as the job offeree.

 

↑People watch over Hamada with warm eyes as he gets nervous.

 

we will create 4 teams of 4 consisting of 1 prospective employee and 3 employees.

1. Searching for commonalities Find 3 "commonalities" between 4 people through self-introductions
2. Search for strengths Share your strengths as a team

We rotated teams and talked about these two themes.

Finding common ground is surprisingly difficult...!

It was difficult to find commonalities unless we searched a lot for each other, and even when we talked about things like our family structure, how we spent our holidays, our club activities during our school days, and our dreams for the future, we were all different. I narrowed it down by asking, “Is your mother kind?” and “She’s kind (all of them).”

↑ Coincidentally, this team had something in common: they were all eldest sons When you ask me, I sometimes think it's like that, sometimes I don't.

 

↑Favorite food: strawberries (Is it true that the two in the middle are...?)

 

BEYOND’s spirit: “I will make use of my strengths.”

One of the 10 principles of Beyond is ``I will utilize my strengths.'' This is because I believe that the ideal way to work is to work while developing your strengths. In order for everyone to be aware of this, we shared our strengths as a team and each person found out what they could do to be the best on the team.

↑ Each student presented their strengths such as ``I can read English literature,'' ``I can write letters upside down,'' ``I'm good at writing short sentences,'' and ``I can run a 50m dash in 5 seconds.'' I had a strength that even the members of the company didn't know about, haha! It became. I think it's amazing that you can write letters upside down.

 

After that, we had fun at the social gathering.

After the group work eased the tension, the class ended with a social gathering. We had fun in the usual drinking party atmosphere, talking about our current part-time jobs, club activities, and our favorite Kamen Riders.

↑At the after-party, there was a lot of interaction, and it was a lively day.

 

This year's informal offer ceremony brought together our Shikoku and Yokohama offices, which we don't usually get together with, so it was a great opportunity to communicate with other members of the company!

And I'm even more looking forward to working with these four wonderful people. I can't wait for April 2020...!

↑I forgot to take a group photo at last year's job offer ceremony, but I made sure to take a group photo this year, so it was a great success.

 

Recruitment site currently under construction

We are currently creating a special website for 21-year graduates and mid-career hires. We are planning content that will make you like Beyond even more. Look forward to it! !
