Retainer Search

Retainer search is a service that involves an exclusive contract to identify and select the most suitable executives and specialized personnel from a long-term perspective.

High Commitment

A dedicated consultant manages the project and provides consistent support until successful recruitment. Unlike general recruitment services, a close partnership is built throughout the entire process.

Deep industry Network

Professionals with years of industry experience uncover potential candidates. They can approach “hidden gems” not available in the open market and talent that competitors cannot access.

Customized Approach

We thoroughly understand your business strategy, corporate culture, and leadership needs. By conducting leadership assessments and evaluating cultural fit, we go beyond mere skill matching to ensure the best selection.

Long-term Success

In the unlikely event that a hired candidate leaves early, we offer a replacement guarantee, swiftly introducing an alternative candidate

Current Challenges of the Talent Acquisition Market in Japan

With the expansion of the job market, the options for executives and specialized personnel have increased, making recruitment more challenging for companies.

Difficulty Accessing Top Talent Due to Intense Competition
The talent acquisition market has become increasingly competitive in recent years, particularly for executives and specialized personnel. Many companies are accessing the same talent pool, and top candidates often receive multiple offers, leading to prolonged recruitment processes.
Limitations of General Recruitment Services
General recruitment services often adopt a success-fee model, prioritizing the quick introduction of candidates. As a result, the focus tends to be solely on the candidates' skills and experience, often overlooking their fit with the company's culture and vision. Additionally, general recruitment services primarily introduce candidates from the open market, leading to intense competition and making it difficult to differentiate from other companies.
