Q&A

  • What qualifications and skills are required?

    We do not require any particular qualifications. However, a knowledge of chemistry is beneficial to those interested in Research & Development and Flavor/Fragrance Development positions, as this would appear to aid in the advancement of work. This is not a problem for those who have a desire to study to obtain the necessary knowledge upon entering the company.

  • I am a liberal arts graduate with little chemistry knowledge. Am I eligible for a sales position?

    Yes. Please acquire the knowledge and techniques necessary for your work on the job, upon entering the company.

  • After entering the company, are assignments to a specific department -- such as basic research, aroma blending, or synthesis -- chosen by individual candidates themselves?

    We will ask your preference at the time of candidate screening, however the company will decide taking into account the suitability displayed by candidates throughout post-recruitment training, etc.

  • Can candidates choose their work location?

    Generally speaking, no. However, if a preference is expressed at the time of candidate screening this will be considered.

Following your assignment to a specific department, we will conduct follow-up training.
