2008年金融危机以来，日本企业的招聘活动呈现出怎样的趋势？笔者试图澄清这一问题，通过定量分析，采用问卷调查，定性分析的基础上进行了访谈，在17家公司。调查结果清楚地表明，在雇用职业中期人力资源方面停滞不前，而对雇用新毕业生的偏好增加。随着业务全球化的发展，日本企业雇用的留学生和语言能力高的人才越来越多，但仍以招聘应届毕业生为主。至于为什么企业倾向于雇用刚毕业的年轻人，所谓的“白色布”比喻认为，这些新毕业的学生相当于白色布，可以染成任何颜色，因此受到企业的青睐，以印上他们的内部标准和企业文化。作者的分析结果表明，“白色布”的比喻是有效的。虽然随着经济的改善，企业可能会雇用更多的职业中期人力资源，但它们似乎将继续主要依靠雇用新毕业生来满足其人力资源需求。
What sort of trends can be seen in Japanese companies’ hiring practices since the global financial crisis of 2008? The author sought to clarify this issue through quantitative analysis, employing a questionnaire survey, and qualitative analysis based on interviews conducted at 17 companies. The findings clearly showed stagnation in hiring of mid-career human resources and increased preference for hiring of new graduates. As the globalization of business progresses, Japanese companies are hiring a growing number of international students and personnel with high levels of language proficiency, but they still make recruitment of new graduates the mainstay of their hiring practices. As to why companies gravitate toward hiring young people fresh out of school, the so-called “white cloth” analogy holds that these new graduates are the equivalent of white cloth that can be dyed any color, and are thus preferred by companies seeking to imprint their in-house standards and corporate culture. The results of the author’s analysis point to the validity of the “white cloth” analogy. While corporations are likely to hire more mid-career human resources as the economy improves, it appears that they will continue to rely primarily on hiring of new graduates to meet their human resource needs.
