日本企業 ・ VC ・ CVC のための採用パートナー
Built for Japanese enterprises, venture capital firms, and CVCs scaling new business ventures. We combine deep local market knowledge with global bilingual reach — the same senior team that supports SoftBank Vision Fund, Degica, and TheSEA now serves domestic hyper-growth directly.
Three audiences, one senior team
新規事業 & Bilingual Leadership
Japanese enterprises launching new business units (新規事業) or hiring bilingual leadership for global expansion. We source senior bilingual candidates that most domestic agencies can't reach.
Portfolio Company Support
Japanese VC firms supporting portfolio company hiring at scale. Our senior consultants act as an extension of your platform team — executive search for CFO/CTO hires, RPO for team scaling.
Corporate Venture Groups
CVC arms and innovation labs building venture-adjacent teams. We bring Silicon Valley-style hiring playbooks adapted for Japanese corporate governance and compensation structures.
Built for Japanese businesses from day one
ネイティブレベルの日本語
Every senior consultant has native-level Japanese. Client briefs, candidate interviews, and internal coordination all happen in Japanese when you need them to — no translation layer required.
Global bilingual reach
Our consultants also have business or native-level English, giving you access to candidate pools that domestic-only agencies can't tap: returnees from the US/UK, globally-experienced Japanese executives, and bilingual foreign nationals.
VC & enterprise specialists on the team
Yoshiya Akamatsu (ex-Global Brain, Michael Page — venture CxO hiring specialist) and Kana Yamazaki (high-class hiring at JAC across corporate roles) bring direct experience with Japanese VC and enterprise recruitment.
Comfortable with Japanese governance
We understand how 上場企業, 非公開企業, and venture-scale firms differ in compensation, governance, and hiring processes. No forcing a SV playbook onto a Japanese corporate structure.
Domestic clients who trusted us with critical hires
Sole International Search Partner for Vision Fund 1 & 2
Until 2017, SoftBank engaged domestic recruitment agencies for leadership hiring. In 2018, we became one of the few international search partners, headhunting key finance leaders for Vision Fund 1 and 2.
49→122 Employees — Full Executive Layer Built
Japan-domiciled payment gateway Degica (KOMOJU) scaled from 49 to 122 in 9 months. We placed CFO, CPO, VP Marketing, VP Revenue, VP Engineering, and 4 more VPs.
100% of Employees Introduced by SST
Japan-based digital commerce company TheSEA (backed by ANRI, Microsoft for Startups, L'Oréal) had every single employee introduced by us during foundational growth.
Meet the team supporting Japanese businesses
Ex-Michael Page (launched NBD/M&A/venture CxO practice) and Global Brain (one of Japan's largest independent VCs, led firm-wide recruiting). Delivers executive and high-impact talent solutions to global enterprises and venture capital firms.
