Did you know?
- While 採用 refers to the official act of hiring, Japanese companies often use 内定 (naitei) to describe an 'informal offer'. This creates a unique period where a student is promised a job months before they actually graduate or start working.
- The kanji 採 in 採用 also appears in words for 'picking' or 'gathering', such as picking tea leaves. This suggests an original nuance of 'selecting' the best candidate from a harvested group of applicants.
- In the context of 採用, the word 中途 (chūto) is used to describe 'mid-career hiring'. This distinguishes those hired from other companies from 新卒 (shinsotsu), who are hired as fresh graduates in a massive annual wave.
