Arches Wins the GOLD Award in the SCOUT CRAFT Category at Wantedly Awards 2026

On September 25, 2026, Wantedly, Inc. announced the winners of Wantedly Awards 2026 at FUZE2026, held at Tokyo Midtown. The awards recognize companies that stood out over the past year in hiring and team building, out of about 40,000 companies that use Wantedly.

Arches received the GOLD Award in the SCOUT CRAFT category, which recognizes excellence in using Wantedly’s scout feature. The award reflects how carefully Arches approaches each candidate. As we prepare for an IPO planned within the next few years, we will keep building our organization by hiring people who share our values and want to take on global challenges.

Scout Messages Written in Our Own Words

Arches treats scouting as a key hiring channel at every level, from new graduates and interns to mid-career professionals and executives. AI can now produce scout templates. That is why we ask our recruiters to understand our business and organization deeply. They then explain, in their own words, why we are reaching out to each person and what that person could do at Arches. We use technology to make routine tasks faster, but the parts that persuade a candidate are written by people. This is the approach the award recognized.

A Word from Our HR Team

“A scout message is often a candidate’s first contact with Arches. In every message, we try to show what makes working here exciting and what it means to take on global challenges with us. We believe engagement and performance after joining depend largely on whether candidates come to like the company during hiring. This award encourages us to keep turning more people into fans of Arches.”

A Diverse, Global Organization

Arches operates from 8 locations worldwide, and our team includes people from more than 20 countries. Our new-graduate hiring has three tracks: the Global Course, the Tokyo Leadership Candidate Course, and the Global Development Program. We welcome people of any nationality or background who share our “Own Grit” mindset.

As the business grows, we are also expanding executive hiring in management and corporate functions, and strengthening recruitment at every level.

Looking Ahead

Arches will keep hiring through honest conversations with each candidate, guided by our three core values: Own Grit; Have Proud, Throw Pride; and Embrace Diversity. The people we hire will support our expansion and business growth, help us create lasting value for clients, experts and investors, and help us move toward our planned IPO.
