Direct Recruiting

In Japan, as the job market expands and competition in mid-career recruitment intensifies, direct recruiting is a strategic approach to address challenges that traditional job advertisements and recruitment agencies cannot solve. Increasing competition for talent, difficulty in securing top candidates, and issues with cultural fit are becoming more prevalent, making traditional recruitment methods less effective. Strengthening direct recruiting is key to overcoming these challenges and supporting your growth.

Hiring in Japan is tougher than ever

As recruitment activities diversify in Japan, the recruitment process itself demands a high level of expertise. Additionally, HR systems related to recruitment are crucial points in recruitment branding.

Challenges in Securing Top Talen
Many highly skilled and experienced candidates who meet your needs are part of the hidden job market and do not actively seek new opportunities. Traditional job advertisements and recruitment agencies often struggle to reach these individuals, resulting in missed hiring opportunities. In fields such as IT, healthcare, and specialized professions, leveraging direct recruiting allows you to approach this hidden talent pool directly and secure a competitive advantage.
Challenges in Optimizing Cost and Efficiency
Referral fees to agents can become substantial over the long term, and job advertisements may not always guarantee results. Additionally, traditional recruitment methods often take weeks to months from job posting to offer, increasing the risk of losing top talent to competitors. Direct recruiting allows you to approach target candidates quickly and efficiently while keeping costs down, streamlining the hiring process.
Challenges in Long-Term Recruitment Capabilities
Successful hiring requires candidates who not only possess specific skill sets but also align with your company's culture and values. However, indirect communication through job advertisements and recruitment agencies may fail to fully convey your mission and appeal, leading to mismatches, early turnover, and decreased productivity. Additionally, relying on external recruitment services may yield short-term results but prevents the accumulation of in-house recruitment expertise and brand strength. This makes it difficult to improve future recruitment capabilities and adapt to changes in the external environment. Direct recruiting allows you to communicate your company's appeal directly to candidates, build a talent pool, and establish ongoing relationships, thereby strengthening your recruitment capabilities.
