The recent interviews conducted by Yamaguchi Sangyo in Nairobi marked a significant milestone in the labor migration project, showcasing promising outcomes. The company sought to fill two business development roles and one software engineering position, and the process began with a comprehensive pre-assessment for 13 candidates. This included evaluations of cultural compatibility, personality traits, and an AI-driven interview to gauge soft skills.

     The interviews, held at the MOL office in Nairobi, were notable for the candidates' punctuality—a quality highly valued in Japanese culture. The employers were impressed by the candidates' skills and knowledge, particularly their unexpectedly high proficiency in Japanese. Among them, three candidates stood out, with two demonstrating remarkable fluency in Japanese, having mastered the language through self-study.

Starting in April, preparations will commence to transition these candidates to Japan, where they will begin their roles in June. This initiative represents a significant advancement in the labor migration project, and there is great anticipation for its success. The dedication and adaptability shown by the candidates not only promise to enrich Yamaguchi Sangyo but also set a precedent for future endeavors in international recruitment.
