Other than the scale and universality within Japan it doesn't sound very different from how campus recruiting works in the US. If you accept that, at least for the vocationally-oriented programs like CS, engineering, and business, a university education is primarily a signal and not a source of inherent value, the signal is significantly weakened if you don't manage to capitalize on the interview and hiring season during your senior year.
