Answer

Is there a confirmed recruitment period?

Since EMCOM Holdings does not have a set recruitment period, we may be looking for employees at any time. As the opportunities we offer may change each time, please check our careers page often, even if you did not apply the last time.

Is there a strict quota set on the number of new employees chosen?

No. EMCOM Holdings tries to hire all who are deemed to meet the required qualifications.

Are there are any distinctions between people of different nationality, gender, age, or education in the recruitment process?

We have people of diverse backgrounds, including people from outside Japan, working tirelessly regardless of gender. Although we do not have application restrictions on education or age, many our employees are between 27 and 35 years old. Also, we see many college graduates entering our ranks.

I do not have any experience as an employee. Can I apply to the "career recruitment" program?

The "career recruitment" program evaluates your career and expertise, regardless of previous positions held. Thus, if you have sufficient experience in the field, there is no reason for us to decline someone on the grounds that he or she had no experience as an employee.

Is it necessary for applicants to speak a language other than Japanese (e.g. English)?

Some of the literature used in IT-related sections are written in English. However, it is not true that English is necessary for all sections. Normally, although it may be completely unnecessary, it should be fine if an employee can understand the meaning of a few important words (Of course, it would not hurt to speak English fluently).

Is there a so-called "glass ceiling" for women at EMCOM Holdings?

Yes.At EMCOM Holdings, promotions are given by evaluating the performance of each employee, not his or her gender.

Are application documents (resume, curriculum vitae), returned? And how is my personal information handled?

We do not return the documents submitted for the application process. Please understand that we delete or destroy the data according to the company regulations.

What is the criteria and the process for judging the right applicant?

An interview serves as the primary means of selection, and we focus on the character and the personality of the candidate.

Is there a trial employment period?

There is a 3 month period that allows both the company and the new employee to determine if they can fit in with each other.

Employment Conditions/Benefits, and Miscellaneous

How are new employees treated?

New employees will be placed and treated fairly, according to their sections and internal regulations of EMCOM Holdings. There are no disadvantages to those who entered the company later than others.

What are the conditions like when working at EMCOM Holdings?

Please refer to our application details.

Could you elaborate more about the salaries?

he salaries are paid out on the 25th of every month. As a principle, we adopt the half-yearly salary system.

When are the holidays? Also, are there New Year holidays and summer vacations?

In addition to the Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays, employees are given New Year holidays (December 29 - January 3), and a summer vacation (4-5 days between July 1 and September 30).

Are paid vacations commonly given?

Since we think that dividing time between work and your private lives is very important, paid vacations in times of emergencies are commonly given.

Are there other benefit programs for employees?

There are employee stock ownership meetings, health-related facilities connected to insurance, working hour adjustments in case of childbirth among others.

How is employee education managed?

The basics are taught on-the-job (OJT). Additional training deemed necessary for the particular section is fully supported by EMCOM Holdings.

How are employees evaluated?

Twice every year, the performance of each employee is used in evaluating the salary and bonuses for the employee for the upcoming six months.

What is the atmosphere of the company like?

Even when faced with a difficult task, we overcome the problem with teamwork, just like a team in professional sports (Although we don't get that rowdy). We also have the good practice of open communications among the members of the company, regardless of position or section.

How old is the average worker working at EMCOM Holdings?

The statistical mean age is 31.

Is there a dress code in effect at EMCOM Holdings?

The dress code for men is suit without neckties, and that for women is plain clothes. There are sections that allow plain clothing for men, but most of the times, the norm still exceeds the style commonly called "business casual" here in Japan. Please ask for more details at the time of your application.

Are transfers between sections allowed?

Transfer may be issued depending on the necessity of the sections, and personal requests.
