👤 Desired Candidate Profile
At Kikkoman, we define the desired talent profile as "professional talent" and focus on nurturing such individuals.
"Professional talent" refers to individuals who can:
🌟 Possess advanced abilities in their work
🌟 Demonstrate these abilities by acting autonomously and achieving results
To meet the needs both inside and outside the company and provide value to the market, it is crucial for Kikkoman to survive as a "company with significance in global society" in the increasingly competitive food industry. Each employee must approach their duties with a sense of ownership and produce results.
Moreover, while it is necessary for individuals to have excellent abilities, when working within the organization, it is essential to cooperate with others as a member of the company and achieve results that meet the needs of various stakeholders both inside and outside the company. Acting "autonomously" and linking actions to results is what is required of "professional talent."
Therefore, it is not enough to excel only in one's area of expertise. While deepening one's specialization, it is important to have an interest in surrounding fields and related areas. This is a quality commonly required across administrative, research and production, and engineering roles.
