SmartHR’s mission is: “Well-Working, Well-Being: Solving societal issues surrounding work and creating a society where everyone can choose how they contribute.”
For everyone to choose how they contribute, each person’s individuality and dignity must be respected throughout the process of choosing a job and workplace, enabling them to make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
SmartHR does not tolerate harassment of any job applicant or other candidate, including those who participate in interviews, recruitment events, internships, or similar activities. We are committed to fair and transparent recruitment practices that enable everyone to participate in selection processes and dialogue with confidence and peace of mind.

If You Feel Uneasy or Uncomfortable
If you feel uneasy or uncomfortable during any part of the recruitment process involving SmartHR, please contact the consultation service below, even if you are unsure whether the conduct constitutes harassment.
Harassment Consultation Service for Job ApplicantsOpens external site in a new window or tab.
When we receive a consultation, we will take the person’s physical and mental condition and wishes into account and promptly and accurately establish the facts. Based on our findings, we will take appropriate action to support the affected person, address the conduct of the person responsible, and prevent recurrence.
We will appropriately protect the privacy of the person seeking consultation, the person whose conduct is at issue, and anyone who cooperates with the fact-finding process. We will not subject anyone to unfavorable treatment in the selection process or otherwise because they sought consultation or cooperated with the fact-finding process.
SmartHR will continue working to ensure a recruitment process where each person is respected, can engage in dialogue with confidence and peace of mind, and can make choices in the way that is right for them.
