Is there a concise English term for this? I've pretty much settled on "recruits" for 内定者 (naiteisha) in the same translation. This is a ceremony congratulating those who've been selected for hire, so "recruiting ceremony" seems inaccurate... Thanks in advance. (Also see related question coming up.)

Tentative presentation
In Japan, 内定means you are selected to be hired, but it is not final or official yet, but you are most likely hired for the job for sure though. I would say "Presentation of tentative employment" or "Presentation of unofficial employment presentation" . I hope this will help you.

Newly recruits get-together party
You said -- This is a ceremony congratulating those who've been selected for hire, so "recruiting ceremony" seems inaccurate... --. Now "recruit" does not necessary means the act of recruiting (boshu-suru). It also means result of recruiting (a shin-nyuu-shain is a new recruit). This sort of thing is pretty specific to Japanese society, and you seldom see that in America.
Although such thing never exists in America, but even that you do not say it is a "ceremony". It sounds too awkward in English environment. The company invites those new recruits to get acquainted to the company environement and get to know their new employer, its leaders, its workplace etc., in which they start working soon. This can happen in non-corporate situation and organizations as well as some companies. Then it is a party, not a ceremony. If I were you, I never use word "ceremony". I do not think presentation is correct either.

Instead of \"newly recruit\", you can use \"new employee to-be\".
Also the purpose of such gathering is so the new recruits get to know each other.

Employment Candidate Orientation
Since they are not definite hires, they can be considered employment candidates. Also, the word "orientation" describes the process of the candidate and company getting to know each other, while leaving room for interpretation in cases where the event is very casual, such as a party.

Orientation for Prospective Employees
I agree with Linda, particularly with the use of "orientation" in this context. It seems the closest of the suggestions to the spirit and meaning of what's going on. I also like snowbee's use of "prospective employee": it's more natural and widely used, often shortened to "prospects", as in candidates already put through most the hiring process, but not yet in a state of commitment.
