"I can't have a deep conversation with foreign workers because of the language barrier, and there is nothing that I can use as evaluation material during interviews." The purpose is to solve various problems related to hiring foreigners, such as "I don't feel satisfied with the success or failure of hiring foreigners," and "I don't know how to train foreigners, and it's difficult to design an educational plan for foreigners." It is the only aptitude test that specializes in hiring foreigners.

Cross-cultural adaptability is academically known as “CQ (Cultural Intelligence Quotient)” and is defined as “the ability to respond effectively in a multicultural environment”.
CQI is designed based on this CQ concept.
Foreign talent with a high CQ is known to recover from culture shock very quickly.
In other words, it is necessary to be aware of "foreign personnel with high CQ" and "foreign personnel who match the culture of the company" as points to identify foreign personnel who will settle down. Intelligence Quotient) is the intelligence quotient of cross-cultural adaptation, and refers to "the ability of foreign personnel to respond effectively in an environment where diverse cultures intersect".
However, it was extremely difficult to use CQ to profile foreign personnel with different languages and cultures through interviews, etc.
By using the global recruitment aptitude test "CQI" in the recruitment selection process, it will be possible to determine the "adaptation to Japanese culture" and "adaptation to different cultures" of foreign applicants through aptitude tests.
In addition, it is characterized by being able to make quantitative and scientific judgments about hiring foreigners by using the results of aptitude tests as the basis for hiring foreigners, which has been done by intuition until now. is.

For foreigners, Japan is a "special country", so culture shock is great for foreigners, and it leads to a decline in motivation.
If such a big culture shock occurs, it may lead to the early resignation or disappearance of foreign human resources.Considering the cost of hiring foreigners, it can be said that this early turnover is very wasteful.
By using CQI in the recruitment selection process,“Adaptability to Japanese culture” and “Adaptability to different cultures” can be examined.
