At a real estate company that I joined as a new graduate, I spent my days facing customers as a consulting salesperson for investment condominiums. I graduated from university in 2011. It was right after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and the Great East Japan Earthquake, and it was a time when investment appetite had cooled. Even in such a situation, I continued to greedily learn not only the knowledge of financial products but also the know-how that can draw out the latent needs of customers so that they can be interested in asset building and investment. There were many difficulties, but I was really happy when my efforts paid off and I was able to rank within the top 10% of the company.

I had been working in sales for 7 years, but I wanted to broaden my career, so I decided to take on the challenge of a new occupation. The place I chose for that purpose was GA technologies. I was very impressed by the enthusiasm of all the employees, including the representative Mr. Higuchi, as well as the attitude of a company that is seriously working to eliminate the negatives of the real estate industry. In addition, there are many people who joined GA after purchasing real estate at RENOSY and are now active as employees. When I first learned that fact, I was shocked to think, "There are so many people who like our company so much through our services."

Furthermore, at GA technologies you can work in the same environment with people with diverse backgrounds and careers, such as industries and occupations. I felt that there was no other environment like this, so I decided to join the company.

After joining the company, I was able to work on mid-career recruitment as a human resource, just as I had hoped, "I want to challenge myself in a position other than sales." Everything was a first-time experience, and at first it was a series of trial and error. Furthermore, GA has a wide range of businesses and the company's growth speed is fast, so there was a time when we recruited about 80 positions at the same time. Through daily conversations with many candidates and cooperation with partner companies such as agents, I have been able to produce results little by little. Currently, as a mid-career manager, I focus on team member development as well as team progress management.

In mid-career recruitment, we communicate with candidates who have various areas of expertise, depending on the position they are in charge of. It is very important to develop a roadmap and collaborate with the frontline so that GA will be interested in GA from among a number of companies and will be able to join the company safely. In particular, the competition to acquire human resources with specialized skills, such as engineers, web designers, PdM, corporate fields such as finance, accounting, public relations, and legal affairs, is intensifying year by year. Therefore, it is essential to understand the trends in the job change market, research the strategies of other companies, and understand the business at a high level. I think it is important to keep learning so that we can come into contact with all sorts of information on a daily basis and contribute to the organization through output based on data and facts.

When I joined the company in 2018, GA was still a company with less than 200 employees. That will reach 1,000 in about five years. While many people find fast-growing organizations attractive, it's also true that they can't always provide a happy working environment for everyone. GA has a lofty goal of becoming the world's top company. For that reason, we are always required to challenge and change, and I think that it is necessary to have an attitude of making hypotheses and outputting output while there is little information, regardless of the type of work. I think that people who enjoy unpredictable situations and feel the joy of leading both themselves and the organization to growth are better suited.

I would like to become a person who can demonstrate value outside of recruitment.

GA not only continues to grow non-continuously, but also develops businesses that combine technology in multiple areas such as real estate and finance. Not only the way of working, but also the sense of value and the way of feeling are infinitely different. I think it is a big challenge for me to plan and operate measures for human resource development and organizational growth across departments for such people. That's why I want to support the team that creates the world's top companies by demonstrating value in such work.
