Executive search

Our executive search solution helps employers meet the right leaders to empower their businesses in Japan, one of the most difficult markets globally to recruit in.

Connecting like-minded leaders and employers

Cultural and language barriers, combined with a nearly 2:1 job-to-applicant ratio, are just some of the hurdles when it comes to successfully identifying, hiring and onboarding bilingual executive-level talent that can meet the expectations of global businesses in Japan.

Finding first class leaders and matching them with the right organisation is a fine art – and we’ve honed this skill over more than three decades. Individual leaders and employers trust us to understand their respective qualities, vision, and capabilities, and to connect them with like minds from across Japan and overseas.

Our executive search solution connects the best organisations with the brightest leaders. Our executive search solution focuses on:

  • C-suite hiring
  • Market-entry and start-up recruitment, including EOR services
  • Strategic market expansion
  • Confidential search mandates
  • Bespoke projects
