Employee Referral Program

• 

  1. Find a job opening

  Search for a job opening at Rakuten's career information site .

• 

  2. Contact the Rakuten employee

  Contact the Rakuten employee you know and send them the URL of the job opening you want to apply for. You can apply for up to three positions at one time.
  *There may be other job openings that are similar to the one you want to apply for. Please be sure to send not only the name of the position, but also the URL.

• 

  3. Apply

  The Rakuten employee will become your referrer and carry out the necessary application procedures.
  *Digital versions of your CV and resume are required for the application process. Preparing these in advance will make the process smoother.

• 

  4. Set up your personal page

  After the Rakuten employee completes their part of the application procedure, you will be sent an email from Rakuten. Follow the link and set up your personal page to complete your application.
  *Please make sure to fill in your name correctly on your personal page.
  *If you have previously applied for a position and have already created a personal page, you may not receive the aforementioned email. However, your application is complete.
