どうも、M.S.です。
中途採用をしていると、時々、かなりの地方から、わざわざ仕事を休んで、弊社面接にいらして頂く方がいます。
先日などは、福岡から飛行機で駆けつけて、面接だけを受けて、日帰りするという方もいて、熱意を感じる半面、営業所は既にあるのに、エンジニア採用が東京で集中していることに申し訳ない気持ちになっていたのですが※、ようやく、多少緩和出来る見込みとなりました。
※ちなみにWeb面接は可能です
まだ、全国展開ではないのですが、福岡、大阪に本格的なエンジニア開発、運用拠点を構築する ということで、今月、来月にかけて紹介エージェントも含め、本気の採用活動をする予定です（長瀬も、私もそれぞれ出張して、直接、その場で面接を行ないます）。面接だけではなく、東京研修（かかる費用は弊社持ち）を経たあとは、福岡、大阪で就業することが可能となりますので、すでに家を買ってしまっただとか、ご家族が土地に慣れ親しんでいるといった方でも、応募可能です。弊社の社風や成長性に共感される方－－かつ優秀なかた－－は、ぜひ、これを機会にお受けいただきますよう、お願い致します。
さて、今回のブログはfkei氏。二月に行なわれた、アメーバテクニカルナイト発表からの抜粋です。藤田社長と異なり、顔と名前を覚えるのが極めて苦手（かつ、改善の努力もしない）な私ですが、彼との採用面接は記憶に新しいです。思い返すと、ICHIRO氏といい彼といい、私が面接で記憶しているのは、私の忘却力に抗する強い個性をもった人ってことですかね。
ところで、彼は直近で奥様のご出産を予定しています。私の経験上、ほとんどの同僚は結婚し、お子さんができると「我慢強く」「調整能力があがる」半面、「保守的」「個性が弱まる（丸
くなる）」「業務内容やスキルアップより給与を重視するようになる」傾向があります。良い面もありますが、彼に関してはそうならないことを期待したいです。
それでは、どうぞ。
Hey, M.S. here.
When we perform mid-career recruiting at CyberAgent, Inc., we sometimes get people coming for interviews from rather far away.
Just the other day, we had someone come for an interview from Fukuoka. He had to take a day of from work, fly up with a plane, have his interview, and take a flight back home again the same day. While it certainly shows drive on the part of the interviewee, we actually already have a branch in Fukuoka, so it
feels like we are responsible for a lot of needless effort. (By the way, we do web interviews as well!) While this has been the norm up till now, we are setting about remedying the situation.
While it still isn't nationwide presence, we will be developing the Osaka and Fukuoka branches as fully fledged software development centres in the near future. As of this month we plan to performing heavy recruiting, both directly and via agents. (Mr. Nagase and I will both be heading the branch offices as needed to conduct interviews etc.) We will not only be performing interviews for developers at these branches, developers will also be able to be work at these branches on successful completion of the orientation period in Tokyo. This is particularly good news for people who have families and other responsibilities which preclude permanent relocation to Tokyo. People who are skilled, interested in CyberAgent, Inc.'s business potentiality and character, please make use of this opportunity and apply for a position at CyberAgent, Inc.!
Well, this times blog was written by Mr. fkei. It is a selection from the Ameba Technical Night that was held in February. Unlike our company president, Mr. Fujita, I am extremely bad at remembering names and faces. I still clearly remember Mr. fkei's interview though. He came across as a very individualistic
person. By the way, Mr. fkei is married, and he and his wife are expecting their first child soon.
In my experience, most of my co-workers are married. When they become parents they tend to become more patient and become better at regulating things, but they also become a bit more conservative, less individualistic and more concerned about increasing their income. While there are good aspects to this,
I truly hope that Mr. fkei does not change.
Ok. Please check his article.
