Daiwa Securities Group aims to achieve corporate growth by investing in its people and enhancing their value and views "hiring people" as the first step toward this objective. As we want all our employees to work with a high level of loyalty, motivation and engagement, all new college graduates recruited by the Group are brought on as full and regular employees so that newly hired employees will be able to have a sense of trust and pride in the Group, and a sense of solidarity with their colleagues.
Moreover, in order to flexibly accommodate job-seekers, we hire year-round, and new employees may join the company even after April. We are actively recruiting people with diverse backgrounds, while strengthening our mid-career recruitment program, which recruits people with work experience in the industry or other job experience.
We also focus on attracting people capable of excelling globally in order to develop a global network and strengthen alliance strategies.
Moreover, Daiwa Securities Group offers internship programs for prospective new graduate applicants to provide opportunities for gaining hands-on experience in the securities business through interaction with employees.

Daiwa Securities Group has formulated and announced its Guidelines for Fair Hiring, comprising three fundamental principles for ensuring fair hiring practices.
We also provide training to employees involved in the hiring process to ensure that they are fully aware of the Guidelines for Fair Hiring.
Further, in line with our human rights policy and in recognition of the fact that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity must never be tolerated, we do not mandate job applicants to enter their gender in their resumes and do not speak with them based on the assumption that they are sexual majority people in our employment interviews, while also avoiding using categorical expressions on such occasions.
