Japan HireのNicolasさんからいただいた突然の連絡により私の人生は大きく変わりました。連絡をいただいた際は然程転職に乗り気ではなかったのですが、私の転職に対するニーズをしっかりと把握した上でベストフィットな転職先を紹介して下さったNicolasさんのおかげで、当初は想像もしていなかった転職を実現することができました。 Nicolasさんには、採用プロセスにおいてもとても丁寧にサポートいただきました。英文CVのレビューはもちろんのこと、クライアントとのやり取りの際にも、コミュニケーションの取り方やオファーに対する交渉の進め方などについて的確なアドバイスを下さいました。最初にご連絡をいただいてから転職が決まるまで直接お会いすることは一度もありませんでしたが、まるで昔からの知り合いのような安心感を持つことができたのは、Nicolasさんのご経験とお人柄によるものだと思います。 外資系企業への転職をお考えの方や信頼できるパートナーと相談しながら転職活動を進めたい方にはぜひNicolasさんをお勧めしたいと思います。

It is my pleasure to recommend Nicolas to any job seekers looking for opportunities with top companies in Japan. Nicolas is not a run-of-the-mill consultant, he is a thought partner who works tirelessly both with you and for you. In my own case, he was beneficial on multiple fronts as I was looking to transition from a leading strategy consulting firm. Initially he helped me really deeply understand the consulting job market in Japan with insights into what sectors / functions would typically work well for my specific background and expertise. He was instrumental in setting up a number of initial conversations with top consulting companies leveraging his network. He supported and coached me personally through the interview process and journey. Finally, he helped me land and negotiate a dream offer with a top strategy consulting firm in Japan !
The Premier Recruiting Firm in Tokyo
Japan Hire is a premier Recruiting Firm in Tokyo dedicated to connecting global businesses with top-tier talent. Specializing in Executive Search in Japan, we go beyond the standard Recruitment Agency model to offer strategic, personalized hiring solutions. Whether you need aggressive Headhunters in Tokyo for C-level roles or specialized Bilingual Recruitment for mid-career professionals, our team understands the nuances of the local market.
Strategic Talent Acquisition:
From C-Suite to Mid-Level
-
A Foundation of Deep Trust Built on a foundation of nearly 20 years in the Japanese corporate sector, Japan Hire offers a depth of insight that generalist agencies cannot match. Our leadership has cultivated a vast, multi-layered network—spanning from high-potential junior staff to industry-leading C-suite executives—allowing us to accurately read the pulse of the market.
-
Executive Search Precision For leadership roles, we do not rely on databases. We leverage our long-standing relationships to conduct direct hearings with top-level management. By understanding the strategic vision directly from the decision-makers, we identify leaders who possess not just the required skills, but the cultural adaptability to drive your business forward.
-
Bilingual Mid-Level Speed finding operational talent who are fluent in both Japanese and English is the biggest bottleneck for global firms. We bridge this gap by tapping into our domestic network of "passive" bilingual professionals in Sales, Marketing, and Operations. We ensure a seamless match between your global requirements and the local candidate's background.
-
The "Japan Hire" Promise We view recruitment as a long-term partnership, not a transaction. By grasping the exact needs of both client and candidate, we deliver exclusive, non-public opportunities that align perfectly with your organizational goals.

Access to the "Hidden" Market Thanks to nearly two decades of trust built with corporate leaders, we hold a portfolio of confidential, non-public job openings (Hi-koukai Kyujin) that are never advertised on public job boards. These are premium roles within top-tier global companies that are specifically seeking your English proficiency and specialized skills.
-
Personalized Representation We take the time to build a relationship with you. Whether you are a junior professional looking for your first global step, or a senior executive seeking a directorship, we analyze your strengths to ensure the perfect cultural match.
