Top-Tier Recruiters, Japan

Japan is an island country in the Asia Pacific. It has the fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP and is one of the world’s largest importers and exporters. The country has made significant contributions to technology and science and is an international leader in the electronics, robotics, and automotive industries.

Japanese culture is globally renowned, encompassing its art, cuisine, music, film, and popular culture, which includes the influential manga, anime, and video game sectors, establishing Japan as a cultural superpower.

Japan has a tight labor market, with a low unemployment rate and a rising number of unfilled vacancies due to a shortage of qualified candidates, especially bilinguals. This can make recruitment challenging for employers in Japan, which is where Keller comes in.

Our Approach

To kickstart the recruitment process, we schedule a meeting between our consultants and our client’s business leaders. During this meeting, we compile a profile for the ideal candidate to define the parameters of the job search. This includes the preferred attributes, qualifications, and skills of prospective candidates, plus the challenges and responsibilities that come with the job.

Once the candidate profile is complete, we start approaching job seekers who may be a good fit for the requirements. We consider candidates who are both in the job market and those who are not but could be looking for the right opportunity to make their next career move.

Every professional interested in the role undergoes a rigorous evaluation to validate their previous work experience and CV references. We also perform background checks for things such as criminal history. We also make use of advanced psychometric testing to ensure the very best outcomes for our clients.

We aim to improve recruitment efficiency by making use of specialized software for tracking candidates, analyzing talent, and performing our background checks.

Professionals who pass the assessment phase will be placed on a shortlist and presented to our client for final interviews.

Why Keller Makes Use of a Customized Approach to Recruitment

As mentioned, skilled recruiters with decades of combined hands-on experience make up Keller’s team. All of these experiences have had a profound influence on the way in which we approach recruitment, but one experience was particularly pivotal in our development as a company.

We had this experience in Keller’s early days when he had just started operating as a recruitment agency. During this time, our team was still making use of a standardized recruitment approach. Our client base was small, but this one-fits-all approach had satisfied them until that point.

However, our agency grew enough to take on projects with bigger clients, and we were soon given the opportunity to fill a key role for an important client. Confident in the cookie-cutter strategy we had been using, we applied the same method to this project. Unfortunately, and to our surprise, the placement failed. We had selected a candidate who was not able to meet the client’s needs and requirements, and they did not have the experience needed to perform job tasks properly.

While this was a challenging experience for our team, it was the catalyst for changes that helped our company grow. It highlighted the many limitations of the generic, industry-standard recruitment approach we had been using, and showed us the importance of instead offering our clients customized solutions.

As a result of our tailored solutions, we have built and maintained a lasting reputation for high-quality, reliable services. We have also been able to foster enduring client relationships. Our methodology has influenced the industry and contributed to a better understanding of recruitment, as well as how searches are conducted around the globe.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

Today’s ever-evolving business landscape demands swift action from companies for them to stay afloat. Keller understands that navigating these fluctuations can be challenging, which is why we stay informed about the most recent developments and findings in the industry. This enables us to predict when the next change will happen and put measures in place to circumvent them, capitalizing on any opportunities that arise in the process.

We also value continuous learning, and our recruiters aim to stay in the loop on the latest technological advancements in the recruitment arena in order to provide our clients with the best and most efficient service.

Beyond our knowledge of local industry dynamics, we have an international presence that allows us to source candidates from abroad. In other words, we can extend our search for the perfect candidate beyond local borders should our client express a desire to hire someone outside of Japan.
