4. Efforts to secure domestic human resources

The "Specified Skills" residence status allows the acceptance of foreign nationals only when it is deemed necessary, as it is still difficult to secure human resources despite efforts to improve productivity and secure domestic human resources.

For this reason, the key point in the review process for certifying a construction Specified Skills acceptance plan is whether or not appropriate efforts are being made to secure human resources domestically.

If, upon checking the job posting at the Hello Work office and the wage ledger which shows the years of experience and monthly remuneration of Japanese skilled workers employed by the accepting company, it is found that the job offer is not conducted under appropriate employment conditions or that the remuneration of already employed skilled workers takes into account the years of experience, etc., the construction Specified Skills acceptance plan cannot be certified.
