An overview of expert views on 霞ヶ関キャピタル’s offer of first-year annual compensation of ¥14 million to new graduates joining the company in 2027, including the company’s intentions and the uniformity prevailing in the recruitment market. The focus is on the rationale behind the high compensation and future developments.
Real estate developer 霞ヶ関キャピタル offered some new graduates joining the company in 2027 an assumed first-year annual income of ¥14 million. The background to the attention it has attracted includes the company’s efforts to raise its profile and trends in the recruitment market.
The company’s recruitment representative explained in an interview with AERA DIGITAL that the ¥14 million offer was not a one-off publicity stunt intended to generate attention. In practice, however, the high level of compensation has become a factor attracting attention.
Management consultant Iwasaki Takayuki (岩崎剛幸) pointed out that, although the company denies it, it is conscious of the publicity value. He said that the high starting salary is already known in some circles and is likely to have a strong promotional effect. At the same time, he explained that the offer may also be intended to question the uniformity of Japan’s mass recruitment of new graduates.
Iwasaki (岩崎) added that statements expressing the desire to attract highly capable talent even at that level of compensation indicate that the recruitment initiative also reflects a desire to correct opportunity loss and prevent talent from moving overseas.
