Naruse: Moving on to the next question, could you tell me what motivates you to apply for our company?

Ao: Sure. After working in B2B sales for five years, I feel ready to take my career to the next step. Your company is growing rapidly in the HR-SaaS sector, especially with your product, Talenta AI, driving that growth. I've actually been following your company's progress for a while, and I'm eager to work in such a dynamic environment and contribute to your business by using my sales experience. Eventually, I'd love to be involved in expanding Talenta AI into new markets and helping shape the sales strategy behind it.

Naruse: Thank you, Ao. We appreciate your enthusiasm. Now, we have some time left. Do you have any questions for me?

Ao: Yes, I do. First, what kind of career paths can I expect if I join the team? And second, what's the company culture like? What kind of people usually work here?

Naruse: Those are great questions. For the career path, we offer several options, including a move into mid-level management or product planning, depending on your performance. Some employees also move into cross-functional roles after a couple of years, working closely with both sales and product teams. As for our team, many of them are mid-career hires with diverse backgrounds, coming from industries like finance, consulting, and IT. That said, we've recently started seeing younger employees in their early 20s, who joined us right after their internships here. It creates a pretty energetic and driven atmosphere, and people tend to support each other across departments.

Ao: That sounds fantastic. It seems like a place where I can really challenge myself and grow alongside the business. I especially like the idea of moving into cross-functional work down the road. Thank you for sharing that.
