Executive Search

Talent2 Tokyo offers our clients a research-based, systematic and thorough executive search service that has been custom built based on years of experience recruiting in the Japan market.

Given the candidate-short nature of Japan's labor market, Talent2 Tokyo has developed a unique service offering and operating model to ensure our clients are getting the best available talent for their senior leadership roles.  The leadership team who founded our Tokyo office had learned from years of experience and created a platform that has proven to be highly successful within local market conditions.  Their vision of how to build the best recruitment firm in Japan focuses on two general areas of operational excellence - "who we are" and "what we do."

Who we are:
Our employees are our #1 priority.  We set out to achieve zero turn-over within a high turn-over industry, and to date we have never lost an employee in Japan to a competitor.  We would be happy to explain the details of how we achieved this, but the point is that our staff really enjoys working here, and this is important for you because happy, motivated employees work harder and provide a higher quality of customer service.

We hire only experienced, professional, successful, bi-lingual consultants who are either Japanese nationals or have long-term interest in Japan and we provide them a platform that helps them do their job well and enjoy their lives.  Take a look at our 'Meet Our Team' page to see the impressive team of search professionals that are happy to call Talent2 their home.

What we do:
Most clients, however, are more interested in what we do differently than our competitors.  The answer lies in our search process, which begins with industry leading research.  Whereas research tends to be an entry-level or junior function in other recruitment firms, at Talent2 Tokyo our research team consists of highly skilled, well-paid, professional researchers with unique ability to identify employees in even the most niche functions within highly complex organizations.  Our investment in research ensures that our reach is unlimited, and our search efforts are targeted and efficient. 

The process starts with research, but that is certainly not the end of the story.  We take a step-by-step approach to vetting the market that is thorough and complete, providing clients with feedback from every potential candidate.  At the end of the search, our clients have not only a suitable candidate to hire, but also the data required to demonstrate that they are hiring the best talent that is available to them.

Lastly, we stand out from other search firms in our flexible approach to fees.  Many clients ask us, "So, is Talent2 a retained or a contingent recruitment firm."  To that we answer "both" and that "retained" or "contingent" simply denote a fee structure. Our focus is on the service itself: providing you the best available talent in the market.  We provide an active, detailed and thorough Search service that achieves results.  Fees can be partially paid in advance or completely upon success depending on the dynamics of each individual search, and we take a sensible approach that is fair and easily justified.
