Your name, 'Asia-Net' does not have any connotation of 'career' or 'job information'. Wording such as 'career' or 'job' would confine us to the recruitment business only. At the beginning, we had bigger dreams, and I imagined we might begin an e-commerce business, for example. Yet, in order to be a successful business, you need to focus on your core strength, and we have been concentrating our efforts on the recruitment business so far. We are conducting market research on Asian markets.
Conditions naturally differ from one country to another.
I joined the company at age 27. Frankly speaking, I was not interested in the recruitment business itself. Yet when I came to Japan to conduct market research, I realized that the job market here was in the midst of drastic change. I thought it was a business opportunity. American workers, on average, change their jobs four or five times throughout their careers.
