Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance
In the domestic recruitment business, hiring demand in the IT, consulting and financial sectors remained solid, and the manufacturing sector also recovered in some areas. Net sales were slightly below the initial plan, however, as the shortfall in net sales arising in the second quarter consolidated accounting period could not be fully made up. The company also advanced investments in human capital, increases in consultant headcount, enhancements to its training system, the use of generative AI and business process reform.
