The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Q&A from the briefing on financial results was published for investors. Regarding operating performance, the company explained that the increase in the number of interviews in the recruitment agency business reflects the success of customer acquisition initiatives and a shift in its interview policy, while the job advertising and scouting businesses have faced headwinds from declines in the effective job-openings-to-applicants ratio and the number of effective job openings in the restaurant industry.
