Ethical job hunting app to match companies’ and students’ purposes

With a range of unsolved social and environmental issues like global warming and climate change, more and more youths are taking action to make a difference. Many are even showing interest in joining companies that are at the center of making a difference, but it’s not easy to search for these “ethical companies.”

Allesgood Inc. was quick to notice this. Last month, they launched Ethical Job Hunting, ETHICAL SHUKATSU, an app that connects companies and students tackling social issues. The company, located in Suginami, Tokyo, came up with the concept of “Ethical Job Hunting.” Since 2020, it has organized events that match companies and students who have similar social concerns. Their mission was to create an environment where companies and future generations could cooperate to solve social issues.

So far, 300 students and six companies have participated, and the satisfaction levels of both parties are high. In addition, with the increasing popularity of SDGs and ESG investment, Allesgood Inc. believes that the need for job hunting revolving around ethical companies will continue to increase in the future. Thus, they decided to launch the job-hunting platform that focuses on “connecting people through social issues.” Today’s youths, in particular Gen Z, are digital natives with an affinity for the internet, which was another reason why they chose to launch a digital platform.

While many existing job hunting sites only search for companies by industry, occupation and region, ETHICAL SHUKATSU features a function for companies to post their latest news on their efforts on social issues. This way, students can search for companies by social issue categories and add comments and “likes.” Student users can also directly reach out to the company they care about, and the company can use it to measure the student’s interest in their company.

Moreover, companies can also view student profiles and scout them directly if they like. They can send direct messages to students after seeing their profiles, which includes participated social activities and cultivated skills.
