2026 Report on New Graduates' Job Change Site Registration Trends: Registrations on 'doda' Immediately After Joining a Company Are 28 Times Higher Than in April 2011, Remaining at a High Level Despite a Year-on-Year Decrease

A survey by the job change service 'doda,' operated by Persol Career, revealed that the number of new graduates who registered on doda in April 2026, immediately after starting their jobs, decreased year-on-year but remained at a high level, approximately 28 times higher than in 2011 when the survey began. Takafumi Sakurai, the editor-in-chief of doda, analyzes that this is due to improved onboarding environments at companies and a polarization of new graduates into stability-oriented and growth-oriented groups, leading to a wider trend of 'first gaining experience at the current job.' As job changing has become an established career option, the number of registrants is expected to remain high.
