Online game company information session
We held an in-game company information session using online games that are popular all over the world. Materials distributed at regular company information sessions are subjected to text projected onto wall blocks. Questions and answers are exchanged through in-game chat, so we have made efforts to make it possible to have a more flatter atmosphere than a regular company information session.

Virtual 1day internship
The virtual 1-day internship program was conducted in-game using the online game tool "8x9Craft." In addition to programming missions, they performed various missions within the game, including missions that allow users to experience troubleshooting server operations. By simulating their work, they were able to learn about Beyond's work content.

A virtual interview is an interview in which both the interviewer and the job seeker use an avatar to conduct their names, ages, and academic backgrounds without revealing them. By not disclosing personal information, we conduct interviews that emphasize our inner self, without being bound by preconceived notions. The purpose is to meet job seekers who are interested in new technologies and are highly hoping to become the IT industry or engineers.
