An acqui-hire, short for "acquisition hire," is a strategic business move wherein a company acquires another company primarily to assimilate its talented workforce. This approach has gained significant popularity, particularly within the realm of technology startups, due to its potential benefits.
By acquiring a company for its employees, the acquiring company gains access to a pool of skilled professionals with domain expertise, specialized knowledge, and a proven track record of collaboration. This not only allows the acquiring company to augment its existing talent pool but also expedites the onboarding process by fostering a cohesive and high-performing team that already possesses a collective understanding of each other's strengths and working dynamics.
Moreover, an effective acqui-hire can yield several advantages. Firstly, it enables the acquiring company to swiftly bolster its human capital, injecting fresh talent into its workforce. These new hires often bring diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and specialized skill sets that can significantly enhance the company's competitive edge and foster innovation.
Additionally, the pre-established cohesion among the acquired team members can contribute to a seamless integration process, minimizing disruptions and ensuring a smooth transition. This can be particularly advantageous in fast-paced industries where time is of the essence.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今回は、シンガポールから目的地までの飛行機の中の話をします。

さて、無事会いたい人に会えて、いよいよ乗り継ぎのためにもう一度出国します。

どうやるのか分からなかったので、少し不安でした。
でも、結局はめっちゃ簡単に終わりました。

Departure gateまで行き、パスポートをスキャンします。それから、乗り継ぎのチケットをスキャンします。すると1つ目のゲートがあきます。そのまま前に進んで、カメラを見ます。それで本人であることが確認されると、2つ目のゲートがあきます。これで出国は完了です。

それから搭乗しました。13時間ぐらい乗りました。
めっちゃ長かったですが、寝たり、食べたり、映画見たり、いろんな話をしたりしていると、着きました。

着いてみるとあっという間でした。

それで着いたのは、なんと…
ドイツです！

ドイツのフランクフルトに着きました。
今回の旅行は、ドイツとオランダへ行きます。

その為にシンガポールで乗り継ぎをしました。
ドイツではフランクフルトに着いて、その日はフランクフルトに泊まりました。

次のPodcastでは、ドイツの話をしていきますね！
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
