Are you Robert Walters?
At Robert Walters, our people are our business. A world-leading specialist professional recruitment consultancy, we put our people and the relationships they build at the heart of everything we do. So as we grow, you will grow. You will be able to make a personal impact, and together, we will create a positive influence across the globe.
For over 20 years, in Japan, we have been a driving force in the Japanese bilingual recruitment market, providing high quality candidates for our clients and access to the best jobs. We always put the interests of our clients and candidates first and run on a non-commission model that promotes a working culture where teamwork is incentivised. We strive to find the best fit for both employer and job seeker and don't push people into unsuitable roles.
As a Recruitment Consultant at Robert Walters, from day one you will be given the opportunity to make your own decisions and develop your own business. You will be supported with exceptional sales and management training and will be provided with a long-term career pathway from Associate through to Management. In addition, over the last few years we have redefined the way we work. We have sought to find the balance and flexibility between the hours we work and the environments we thrive in. We have implemented flexible starting times and will be dividing our work week between the home and office.

Our philosophy:
We don't aim to be the biggest recruitment consultancy but we do aim to be the best. We help businesses build powerful teams that deliver against exceptionally high standards by holding ourselves up to those same values. Quality and integrity are our watchwords and we like to think we're different.
Here's a flavour of why:
We have specialist recruitment teams who are experts in their area. Whether they're recruiting in accountancy, HR or legal, you won't find them working outside their area of expertise
- Our consultants don't work on commission, but instead rely on team work to ensure the right person is placed in the right job
- We will never send out your CV without express permission. Quite simply, we don't think it's right
We're proud of what we've achieved so far. But we don't look back, we're always innovating:
- We were the first recruitment consultancy to launch a recruitment outsourcing business
- The first to launch a Global Salary Survey
- We were the first to launch a salary checker app for iPhone and launched a Manga interview app
