The Recruit advantage

An authentic advantage - Weknow the market inside out

Being a subsidiary of Recruit Group, Recruit Executive Agent possesses an authentic and substantial advantage in Japan’s executive search field. Considering the hundreds of thousands of companies with which Recruit Group conducts business, we enjoy unparalleled knowledge of the Japanese market and unrivaled access to executives across all industries, across the entire country.

The personal approach

Our preferred approach of locating candidates is through referral. Utilizing the tremendous reach that the Recruit Group network affords us, we are most often able to arrange personal introductions. Not surprisingly, the target candidate is infinitely more receptive to meeting with us when we have been recommended by a respected peer or authority. By following our traditionally accepted approach, the clients we represent are considered favorably.

Locate the hidden talent

A large pool of ‘hidden’ executive talents exists in Japan. This pool includes those who have never changed employers during their entire careers, and those whose resumes have never found the desk of a search consultant. Through our contacts, we are able to identify those whose skills-set and personal qualities are best suited to the position being filled.
