入社（にゅうしゃ、nyuusha）
- joining a company

入社入社 means "to join a company," "to enter a company," or "to be employed by a company." It refers to the act of starting work at a new company after being hired. It often implies a formal and professional context, typically related to full-time employment. The word focuses on the moment of joining the company and beginning one's employment there.

⚫︎4月から新しい会社に入社します。 Translation: I will join a new company from April. ⚫︎彼は去年、大手企業に入社しました。 Translation: He joined a major company last year. ⚫︎入社試験に合格して、ようやく入社できることになりました。 Translation: Having passed the company's entrance exam, I can finally join the company.

This word is used in business and professional contexts. It is common to use it when talking about starting a new job, announcing a new employment opportunity, or discussing career-related matters. It's suitable for formal and semi-formal conversations, written correspondence, and presentations. It's often used with the particle に to indicate the target company. For example: 〇〇会社に入社する (to join company XX). The word emphasizes the process and the start of a new job at a company.

入社入社 is written using the kanji 入 (meaning "enter" or "insert") and 社 (meaning "company" or "society"). The reading is にゅうしゃ in hiragana. There is no other way to write the word, and the okurigana is fixed.

There aren't many direct synonyms, but some related words include: ⚫︎就職 (しゅうしょく): "Finding employment" or "getting a job," but doesn't necessarily refer to the action of joining a company. ⚫︎入行 (にゅうこう): "Joining a bank" (specifically for banking industry)

⚫︎退社 (たいしゃ): "Leaving a company" or "resigning." ⚫︎退職 (たいしょく): "Retirement" or "leaving one's job." ⚫︎辞める (やめる): "To quit" or "to resign."

私は来年、この会社に入社する予定です。 ・Translation: I plan to join this company next year. ・Explanation: This sentence indicates the speaker's future plans to become an employee of the company.

彼は入社してすぐにプロジェクトリーダーに抜擢されました。 ・Translation: He was selected as a project leader shortly after joining the company. ・Explanation: This sentence describes the rapid promotion or appointment of someone after they started working at the company.

The word is formed from the kanji 入, which means "enter" or "go in," and 社, which means "company" or "corporation." The combination of these two kanji thus literally means "enter the company," directly describing the action of joining the organization.
