About us
Navigating hiring is a critical juncture for any company’s entry into Japan. The right leaders have the ability to significantly shape your company's trajectory for success. In a market that will present unique challenges, the ideal candidate must seamlessly integrate your mission with the expectations of local customers. Stakeholder management that unites colleagues, customers and partners across time zones and cultural barriers is complex and challenging. Uncovering the best candidate will often mean not hiring the obvious candidate.
