＊2 The number of new graduates hired is based on the number of those decided to be hired in ＊1 The starting salary has been increased to 6 million yen for new graduates joining the About the Simplex GroupAfter graduating from university, he worked as a news program director at NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and as a project leader at Boston Consulting Group before joining Xspear as Managing Director. His strength lies in strategy development and DX policy planning for players in the fi nancial industry. Leveraging his training experience at a consulting fi rm, he off ers DX talent development programs for a variety of industries. He is also a frequent speaker on the lecture circuit.A recruitment strategy unique in the IT industrySince going public in 2002, we have focused on recruiting new graduates. The most important feature of our recruiting policy is our focus on potential hires. Based on their own experience of our founding members, who acquired technology over the course of their careers, our hiring policy is to emphasize intellectual capabilities and high motivation, without taking into account IT knowledge at the time of interview. This stance, which targets students from a wide range of backgrounds regardless of their academic background, is unique in the IT industry, where a science or engineering background tends to be a prerequisite.Business ModelGrowth StrategyMateriality Issues and Major Riskscompany in April 2025.Potential-Focused Recruitment and Training CapabilitiesOne reason we have focused on recruiting new graduates has been a shortage of top talent in the IT industry. Due to the multi-layered vendor hierarchy in Japan, it has been diffi cult for talented individuals to fi nd jobs in the IT industry because of unappealing compensation structure and the harsh working environment. In the IT industry, which had these kinds of structural problems, we have refi ned a system for identifying high-potential talent from students with no work experience and rapidly developing them in a short period of time. This system is the foundation that supports Simplex Group and is the driving force behind our growth going forward.The highest level of compensation in the industryIt is also worth mentioning that despite being in the IT industry, we have always seen our competitors in recruitment as the global consulting fi rms. We have focused both on fostering a culture and developing a compensation structure in order to attract high potential and gifted students who are in the top 10 percent in the HR market. We have designed a compensation structure that allows us to off er compensation at the same level as the global consulting fi rms for those who develop their career at the normal speed, and compensation exceeding that of global consulting fi rms for those who excel. This gives us a signifi cant advantage in our recruitment activities.Executive PrincipalPrincipalAssociate PrincipalLeadStaffBand DBand CBand BBand A40,000 + performance pay30,000 + performance pay25,000 + performance pay20,000 + performance pay 1,500 – 1,900 1,100 – 1,400 800 – 1,000 600 – ＊1DataStrengthening mid-career recruitment throughout the GroupThe establishment of Xspear in 2021 was the catalyst for us to strengthen our strategic mid-career recruitment, after having long focused on hiring new graduates. Along with intra-group transfers from Simplex, we focused on mid-career recruitment of consultants who are oriented toward practical DX support based on technological expertise.We have made steady progress in recruiting experienced consultants who can make an immediate impact on our business. Behind such a good progress lies in our corporate culture and compensation structure forged since our establishment by the leadership of our management team, who have working experience at global consulting fi rms. Furthermore, this trend of mid-career recruitment is not limited to Xspear, but is also spreading to Simplex, a tech fi rm. The number of mid-career hires, which previously hovered around 30 each year, has increased to more than 100 per year for the entire group since the establishment of Xspear.One reason we are strengthening mid-career recruiting is the fact that the IT industry is attracting more and more attention every year due to the rise of FinTech ventures and other factors. This has created momentum for talented individuals with high potential who would not have considered IT in the past, but who now aspire to enter the IT industry. These external changes are creating a tailwind not only for new graduates, but also for mid-career hiring.Mid-career hires118FY2024/3, and the actual date of joining the company is April 1 of the following fi scal year.Simplex Integrated Report 2024New graduates hires＊241185Group-wide compensation structure (Thousands of yen)Number of employees hired (consolidated)ESG: SocialTaketo KajitaXspear Consulting, Inc.Joined in 2021 as a mid-career hireRecruitment and Compensation System303
