JAKARTA The Metaverse, since the boom in recent years, has succeeded in attracting the attention of various government institutions and large companies. This time, Japan presents a new solution for recruiting workers using the metaverse.

The latest information states that there are 2,000 prospective workers attending the job exchange in the metaverse. This allows them to use digital avatars to communicate with recruiters and examine the possibility of any job offers available. In addition, job seekers are also allowed to remain anonymous in the metaverse.

That way, they are allowed to ask various questions related to sensitive matters regarding the work they will apply for. According to a local news outlet media report,

The companies stated that this is one of the biggest events of this kind in Japan, and also strengthened the profits brought by the metaverse for this recruitment process.

The METaverse makes it possible to take advantage of online meetings where students from remote areas can take part and maintain the spontaneity of meetings and conversations that occur in face-to-face job exchanges, said Taiki Nishino of Neo Career.

Although some are pessimistic about using the metaverse tool in meetings, others have signaled that supports the impact this technology has on the sector. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, a software company, praised the technology in this initiative. In a recent meeting with Klaus Schwab, chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), he explained that he believed the sense of presence brought by the metaverse app was a 'game-changing'.

The company has teamed up with the WEF to build an initiative called the Global Collaboration Village, which aims to make the Davos meeting an annual meeting using metaverse technology for leaders to communicate throughout the year.

Other institutions in Japan are already using metaverse technology to allow people to build their digital presence. For example, in October, Toda City reported that it used the metaverse tool to allow students to accept classes from home as a way to combat absence from school.

Later, in July, the University of Tokyo announced that it would use the metaverse tool to offer engineering courses and to instruct students about the metaverse and its functions, reported Bitcoin.com News.
