I read 『転職2.0　日本人のキャリアの新・ルール』村上臣（著） (“Career Change 2.0: New Rules for Japanese Career Development” by Shin Murakami), so I’ll share the insights I gained from the book.

Background: Want to Learn Job Seekers' Mindset

I read this book to unlearn job seekers’ perspectives as I focus more on recruitment activities in the future.

Below are quotes and notes from the parts that left an impression on me.

Chapter 5: Evaluating Companies - Choose Jobs Based on "Synergy," Not "Company"

Be careful of ventures where only the CEO stands out

It’s worth checking the communications from individual employees other than the CEO, as much as you can within the verifiable range. Whether you can sense that employees are enjoying their work is a major point.

Evaluate companies from multi-faceted communications including CEO and employees.

Building relationships and working methods in new workplaces

At your new job, it’s crucial to produce small results as early as possible. The key point is to produce concrete results that are recognized by those around you, even if they’re small.

Help new hires produce small concrete results right after joining.

That’s all from the Gemba regarding wanting to learn job seekers’ mindset.
