Our mission is “To bring transformative change to talent acquisition activities of companies through the power of technology.”

The majority of mid-career recruitments in Japan are carried out through result-reward type agents. The agents support companies by finding candidates that match their requirements, and lead them into its recruiting process until employment. It is common for these agents to ask for commission as return.

However, this is the common method of recruitment “in Japan only”. In other countries, recruiting activities are carried out around 3 pillars: “Directsourcing”, “employee referral” and “alumni”. Among these three, Directsourcing and recruitment branding using LinkedIn are especially becoming the main methods to acquire talents in many companies.

Under this market environment, the skills required of a recruitment staff is changing drastically. Needless to say, they will be required a “strong sales capability” as well as various other skills that are also becoming essential, including branding, marketing, sourcing and writing. In the near future, it will become an essential skill for HR teams in Japan to find their own candidates and to lead them into their hiring processes, by using multiple recruiting databases including LinkedIn.

As the first company in Japan to become business partners with LinkedIn, we focus on two areas, “Directsourcing” and “recruitment branding”, and we suggest our clients various techniques to effectively and efficiently find the best talents for their company.
