19. HireRoo’s Values
    Fail Fast
    The faster we fail, the faster we can get closer to a solution! Failing fast does not mean
    that we do not try to succeed—quite the opposite. It means that we do not let the fear of
    failure keep us from trying our best.
    Aim High
    Each and every employee at HireRoo takes pride in the work they do. We love what we make
    and the creative process in general. HireRoo employees always strive for excellence.
    Pull Together
    It is not as individuals but as a team that we can achieve our greatest potential. At HireRoo,
    we play, work, win, fail, and succeed together. The ability to trust and be trusted by your
    team members is paramount.

20. HireRoo’s values in action
    Fail Fast
    ● We have many mechanisms in place for
    quickly reflecting on past actions taken.
    Aim High
    ● Even when HireRoo had no more than 10 members in total, everyone pulled together to
    aim high and achieve the lofty goal of an advent calendar.
    Pull Together
    20
    At our monthly “In-Person All-Hands,” we recognize members who have demonstrated or embodied
    our values with the Fail Fast Award and the Aim High Award.
    This is a screenshot of the moment we decided to do the advent calendar.
    This is an example of a meeting where we reflected on the
    development process.

23. Message from the CEO
    I like to say that while good products sell, great products that provide value will always
    sell, and at the core of these products are the engineers who make them.
    Together with my colleagues, I founded HireRoo with the dream of creating a world in
    which the skills of engineers are fairly evaluated and Japan is once again at the top of
    global manufacturing.
    I truly believe that great products will always sell. But creating a great product in the
    first place takes more than just people who make things—we also need people who sell
    things, people who know how to optimize value, people who are good at networking,
    and many, many more!
    This business is where I choose to dedicate my life and to accomplish HireRoo’s
    mission we need you!
    So come take on the challenge—join HireRoo and let’s aim high together!
