The Mercari Group's mid-career recruitment team is responsible for the recruitment across the entire group, including new businesses, and plays a role in realizing business and organizational strategies from a talent perspective. This encompasses all areas of mid-career recruitment, including Engineer, Business, Corporate, and Product. Since the business phase, recruitment market, attractive points to convey to candidates, and selection criteria differ by area, we do not apply a single recruitment method universally. Instead, we design, execute, and improve recruitment strategies for each area in collaboration with Hiring Managers, HRBPs, and business leaders. Currently, at Mercari, the assumptions regarding job roles and working styles are beginning to change significantly due to AI. It is required to not only search for candidates based on past recruitment requirements but also to articulate the roles and skills that will be needed in the future, and incorporate them into recruitment requirements, selection processes, and candidate experiences. Our focus is not solely on increasing the number of hires. The mission of the mid-career recruitment team is to define what kind of talent can thrive in an AI-native organization, how to assess their potential, and how to connect them to roles and environments where they can perform effectively after joining. The Talent Acquisition Manager we are recruiting for will lead the formulation of mid-career recruitment strategies, organizational management, member development, and improvement of the recruitment process to achieve this mission as a team, taking responsibility for the overall recruitment results of the team. In high-priority and challenging recruitment themes, the manager will also take the lead while ensuring that individual Recruiters are responsible for the recruitment results in their respective areas and create an environment where they can continuously grow.
