Reasons why venture companies continue to hire new graduates

This is Haraoka, the representative of Beyond.

It's been a while since I wrote a blog.
When I looked it up, it was June 2017, so it's been about 4 years since I last blogged.

This time, the theme is new graduate recruitment.
ever wondered why so many companies deliberately hire new graduates who are not yet ready to work?
In conclusion, hiring new graduates has many benefits .
I will explain
the reasons and benefits of hiring new graduates from the perspective of a representative of a venture company that has been hiring new graduates for six years I would be happy if students who are looking for a job and many working adults would learn about it.

Why do we hire new graduates? Advantages of hiring new graduates

As mentioned above, Beyond regularly hires new graduates, but
I will write in detail about ``why we hire new graduates'' from several perspectives

Recruit excellent human resources

Since all students search for jobs at the same time, even venture companies can be hired together with other large companies. Of course, some students may not join because of comparisons, but there is a certain percentage of students who want to start a business, so there is a chance to hire excellent people In fact, the employees who joined the company this year are and have already been active
in various aspects such as infrastructure operations and construction since being assigned to the team Additionally, unlike mid-career recruitment, which takes place throughout the year, new graduate recruitment a short period of time , which has the advantage of being able to hire a large number of people in a shorter period of time.

Develops the company's culture

New graduates who are not steeped in any company's culture are very honest.
quickly gain of the culture that the company values will be passed on to subsequent new members it is not so easy to change the
"habits" acquired at the first company. I strongly feel this from experience. I believe that the people who take the lead in developing the company's culture are the members who join the company as new graduates.

The atmosphere in the company is refreshed

If you keep working with the same people all the time, you 'll inevitably feel a sense of stagnation , the atmosphere within the company changes with the feeling that spring has arrived. Surprisingly, this refreshing atmosphere is highly effective as it creates positive feelings around you.

Creating an atmosphere where everyone can educate

New graduate members join the company in an inexperienced state as members of society, so they need a variety of education not only on technical aspects but also on business. Therefore, at Beyond, not only some employees but also various employees serve as "instructors" to train new graduate members. This creates a virtuous cycle in which employees come together as one and want to develop new employees into full-fledged employees, and new graduates as well as existing members have opportunities for growth by taking on the role of instructors.
The ``virtuous cycle of in-house education'' created when new graduates join the company increases the strength of the company

Because they join the company at the same time, they can undergo training at the same time.

BEYOND provides training periods for both new graduates and mid-career members as needed.
Mid-career employees generally receive individual training because their joining dates vary, but new graduate members have a fixed joining date and number of employees, so they can plan ahead and receive training with more fulfilling content. You can do it.
helping and competing with each other during the training period among new graduate members also accelerates their growth

【summary】

As mentioned above, there are many benefits to hiring new graduates, and we believe that they are an important part of growing the company Recruiting and training can be difficult at times, but Beyond will continue to hire new graduates, and once they join the company, we will work together as a team to properly develop them.
