This also reflects the pre-recession context of relatively strong labour demand, in which employers often advertise vacancies through multiple channels. This may be partly due to the relatively late introduction of online vacancy registration and display, but it seems to also indicate that employer clients appreciate personal counselling. For example, employers may seek advice about employment subsidies available, or the conditions that would need to be offered in a job vacancy to have a good chance of a successful hire. Related to lifetime employment practices, vacancy notifications in Japan do not usually give a detailed description of the work: workers are often more interested in the reputation and long-term prospects of the company, and on this topic experienced counsellors can provide advice that is not posted on internet.
