The number of hires decreased compared to the same period last year due to the reduction in young mid-career hiring from major consulting firms, but by securing a certain number of projects for managers and above, the average sales price has remained at a high level compared to the same period last year. Although it does not reach the large-scale projects in the previous fourth quarter, the average annual income and average commission rate are maintaining a high level.
