FAQs

1. Q: I am interested in working in Japan but don’t have a job offer. Where do I start?

A: We start with a consultation to understand your skills, experience, and goals. Our Foreign Worker Recruitment and Matching service then actively represents your profile to our network of partner Japanese companies seeking international talent. We guide you from the initial interview to the final job offer.

2. Q: What is the difference between a Work Visa and a Specific Skills (Tokutei Ginou) Visa?

A: A standard Work Visa (e.g., for Engineers, Specialists in Humanities) requires a university degree or relevant professional experience. The Specific Skills Visa is for designated sectors (like construction, agriculture, nursing care) and requires passing a技能試験 (skill exam) and a日本語試験 (Japanese language test). We provide full acquisition support for both types, advising on the best path for your background.

3. Q: My goal is to study and then work in Japan. Can you help with the entire process?

A: Absolutely. We offer end-to-end support. We can first assist with your Japanese Student Visa application to get you to Japan. During your studies, you can enroll in our Japanese Language Classes to become job-ready. Finally, our Career Development Support services will help you secure a full-time position and convert your visa status from Student to Worker upon graduation.

4. Q: What does your Lifestyle Support include?

A: Moving to a new country is challenging. Our support extends beyond the classroom and office. We provide practical assistance with settling in, such as help with apartment hunting, setting up a bank account, obtaining a mobile phone, and completing necessary ward office registration. We also offer cultural orientation workshops to make your transition smoother.

5. Q: How do you support my long-term career growth in Japan, not just my first job?

A: Our commitment continues after you are placed. Our Career Development Support includes services like resume (CV) editing for the Japanese market, interview coaching for more advanced roles, and professional networking guidance. We help you build a strategic career path in Japan for long-term success.

6. Q: We are struggling to find qualified talent in Japan. How can your recruitment service help?

A: We specialize in bridging the gap between Japanese companies and global talent pools. Our Recruitment and Matching service handles the entire process: from sourcing and vetting qualified foreign candidates who match your specific needs, to coordinating interviews and facilitating offer negotiations, saving your HR team significant time and resources.

7. Q: We want to hire a foreign national but are unsure about visa sponsorship. Can you handle it?

A: Yes, comprehensively. Our Specific Skills Visa Acquisition Support service manages the entire visa application process on your behalf. We ensure all documentation is accurate and compliant with Immigration Services Agency regulations, significantly reducing the administrative burden and risk of rejection for your company.

8. Q: How do you ensure the foreign candidates you recommend can adapt to our Japanese workplace?

A: Beyond matching technical skills, we prioritize cultural fit. All candidates in our pipeline have access to our Japanese Language Classes and Lifestyle Support Programs. This means the candidates we present are not only skilled but are also proactively preparing for the linguistic and cultural nuances of the Japanese professional environment.

9. Q: Do you only recruit for large corporations?

A: Currently we work with businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to large corporations. We understand that smaller companies have unique needs and can benefit immensely from our full-service approach, which handles everything from recruitment to visa sponsorship and onboarding support but in future we may directly work with the large corporations for their recruitments.

10. Q: What makes your service different from a standard recruitment agency?

A: We are a holistic solution provider. A standard agency places a candidate. We ensure the entire process is successful: we recruit the right person, secure their legal right to work, prepare them for life in Japan, and support their long-term growth within your company. This integrated approach leads to higher retention rates and a more successful international hiring experience.
