Your Trusted Talent Advisory Partner
Navigating the complex landscape of Japan talent acquisition requires more than just filling roles. It demands a strategic partner who understands the market, leverages data to uncover hidden insights, and guides you through the intricacies of identifying and attracting high-calibre professionals.
Whether you're a Talent Acquisition or People Leader or an Asia Pacific Executive, our tailored solutions enable you to make better hiring decisions, identify high impact talent, and ultimately build stronger teams.
How are we different?
Identifying and attracting high impact talent
Our approach is different. We're not just another recruitment agency. We are a Talent Advisory Firm with a deep understanding of Japan's enterprise market for global IT vendors. With over two decades of hands-on experience across in-house recruitment, RPO, and retained search, we bring a unique blend of consulting expertise and data-driven insights to our clients.
Our Core Services
Talent Advisory
Optimising Your Talent Strategy
Our Talent Advisory services are designed to enhance your hiring process and ensure long-term success. We consult on optimising search methodologies, refining recruitment processes, and improving interview techniques to help avoid costly mis-hires, especially in senior roles where leadership quality directly impacts business outcomes. We also provide support for building internal talent pipelines, ensuring your leadership bench is future-ready.
Example: Partnering with clients to re-engineer their interview process to better assess for cultural fit and long-term potential.
Talent Mapping
Targeting the Right Talent to Drive Growth
Our proprietary Talent Mapping process identifies high-value talent within your target market. Focusing on sales and leadership positions, we map competitor and peer organisations to pinpoint candidates who can have the greatest impact on your growth trajectory. With our AI-driven platform, we leverage the collective intelligence of your people to map referrals and recommendations for direct scouting, positioning you to win top talent in a competitive landscape.
Example: Mapping out the GTM (Go-To-Market) structure of key competitors to uncover senior sales professionals who can accelerate your revenue goals.
Talent Insights
Empowering Your Decisions with Data
Used in conjunction with our core services, our Talent Insight reporting helps you benchmark against competitors and industry peers in terms of hiring activity, diversity ratios, internal career pathways, employee turnover, and organisational growth rates. Understanding how your organisation stacks up in the market is crucial for employer branding, strategic workforce planning and achieving your business goals.
Examples: Analysing competitor hiring trends to identify talent gaps, assessing diversity to inform DEI strategies, and evaluating turnover rates to pinpoint attrition risks.
Tailored Engagement Models
for Talent Acquisition
We offer two distinct engagement models - Partner Advisory and Fractional RPO — to cater to the varying needs of our clients. Both models are consultative and advisory-led, ensuring that our expertise enhances your hiring strategy, whether it involves direct candidate engagement or strategic consulting support.
Partner Advisory Model
In this model, we support clients looking to engage high-impact candidates for permanent placement. Working through our network of licensed recruitment partners, we act as advisors, facilitating introductions to vetted talent while ensuring that our partners are aligned with your hiring objectives. This approach allows you to leverage our expertise and insights without needing to directly manage candidate relationships, streamlining the recruitment process for strategic roles.
Fractional RPO Model
Our Fractional RPO model is ideal for organisations needing part-time, embedded support for specific recruitment functions such as talent mapping, market research, or strategic hiring consultations. In this capacity, our team integrates into your organisation on an as-needed basis, conducting comprehensive talent mapping, benchmarking, and advisory activities to strengthen your overall talent acquisition strategy. This flexible, project-based approach is perfect for when you want to enhance your recruitment capabilities without the overhead of a full-scale RPO.
With both models, we provide bespoke, high-touch service that aligns with your business goals, positioning you to attract and secure top talent while maintaining flexibility and control over your recruitment activities.
Testimonials
“Exactly what we needed from a partner.“
“As we looked to scale up in APJ we almost exclusively found Murray to be our go-to recruiter in Japan. His ability to attract and introduce high spec talent during a time of critical growth was exactly what we needed from a partner. Some of our best technical and quota-carrying sales hires came from him. I highly recommend him.“
