Led by Experience.
Built With Intent.
One built search firms across Japan. The other builds AI platforms.
Together, they created something neither could alone.
Built by People Who've Done This Before
Search expertise meets AI infrastructure. Two decades of Japan recruitment combined with purpose-built technology.
Expertise is the Core. AI is the Multiplier.
After 20 years and leading three successfully acquired search firms in Tokyo—including my last venture sold to ManpowerGroup (NYSE:MAN)—I’ve seen the recruitment industry become increasingly transactional, slow, and low-value.
I built TalentHub to fix that. We’ve replaced the "wide and shallow" agency model with a narrow and deep partnership approach. To ensure our clients receive the most precise solutions across the Asia-Pacific region, we collaborate with a curated network of like-minded expert recruiters who share our standards for excellence. Our Partners.
While recruiter instinct and our regional expertise remain the foundation, proprietary AI is the multiplier that provides the transparency and velocity standard agencies can't match. My partner Konstantin and I are pushing the frontier of what is possible—creating a genuine game-changer for how business-critical search is executed in Japan and beyond.
The Platform Behind the Search
Konstantin is the reason the AI actually works. His background spans IBM Global Services, Deloitte Consulting, and BearingPoint with 15+ years building enterprise software platforms.
He co-founded Interviewy, an AI-powered interview automation platform used by major US hospitality brands such as Five Guys and Blaze Pizza, helping them streamline high-volume hiring dramatically.
Earlier in his career he co-founded Mirabo Systems International, where he led development of Livepoint, a business intelligence tool for the pharmaceutical sector.
At TalentHub, Konstantin leads product strategy and development — candidate matching, market intelligence, and competitive analysis — all running on a platform built from scratch. Everything purpose-built for executive search in Japan.
Recruitment Built for the AI Era
Combining 20 Years of Search Expertise with Enterprise Engineering.
In 2023, we stopped trying to "fix" recruitment tools and started building our own. We replaced the antiquated model with a proprietary AI platform. No off-the-shelf ATS. No third-party AI. Everything was engineered from scratch.
After proving the concept, Murray returned to Tokyo in 2025 to establish TalentHub Partners K.K. Today, we are licensed and achieving record success—surpassing the growth metrics of Murray’s previous venture.
For entrepreneurial recruiters, this is an opportunity to break free from manual friction. We aren’t just building a desk; we are building a scalable, exit-ready asset.
