[If you are looking for a supportive place with kind colleagues and real opportunities for grow, TAIMATSU is the perfect place for you]

I was interested in the opportunity to work closely with the business side while using technology to improve real operations. Rather than only building systems based on fixed requirements, I felt TAIMATSU would give me the chance to understand actual business challenges, discuss them with different teams, and help turn those ideas into practical solutions. I was also excited by the opportunity to work with a global team. Being able to collaborate across different backgrounds and perspectives was one of the things that made the role especially appealing to me.

I first heard about TAIMATSU in November 2025 as I participated in the GajinPot fair job. What really struck me was how well the company was presented compared to other companies. I have a master's degree in arts and cultural management, and I used to be a manager at my old job. Japanese knives are definitely a part of Japan’s cultural heritage, and I couldn’t wait to use my knowledge in art marketing to promote them, especially since I would have used the concept of art infusion which, at least in Korea where I lived for 5 years, has proven to be a very efficient marketing strategy.

After graduating from Waseda University, I joined TAIMATSU as a new graduate. During my job search, what I valued most was finding a company where I could grow the most and feel a sense of purpose in my work. I remember feeling incredibly excited when I first encountered TAIMATSU. At the time, TAIMATSU was in its first year of establishment, and many aspects of its foundation and systems were not yet fully established. However, I found that to be a major appeal. Instead of joining an already established environment, the prospect of directly contributing to the company's growth and system building filled me with great anticipation. The thought that "here, I'd be able to challenge myself with many different things" was a major reason I decided to join.

I decided to join the company because I was deeply attracted to its culture, which encourages challenges regardless of age or experience, and its commitment to growth through embracing change. I was also drawn to the opportunity to leverage my English language and communication skills to contribute to recruitment and organizational development from a global perspective. Through my experience in hotel customer service and new employee training, I realized that the quality of service is profoundly influenced by the people delivering it. I learned, in particular, that the presence of individuals supporting the front lines directly impacts organizational growth. This realization, combined with a strong desire to "support people's growth," became the catalyst for me to pursue a career in HR.
