「Under these circumstances, proactive recruitment before the spread of COVID-19 resulted in 616 new employees joining in April (399 at MT and 217 at MF), increasing the number of engineer employees across the group. However, training had to prioritize preventing the spread of COVID-19, which significantly delayed the assignment of new employees to client projects compared with previous years.
