Behind the Scenes of Japanese Recruiting Agencies: My Personal Experience

Recruitment agencies help companies find the right candidates for their job openings. This article explains the easy online registration process and the services offered by these agencies, which are accessible even to those living abroad.


After signing up on their website, the agency will contact you, usually by call or email. It's a good idea to include your resume when you register. This helps them understand your work background.

Along with your registration, you'll need to submit an entry form with details like your name, address, contact information, work experience, job title, job description, annual salary, and the industry you're interested in.

Once your information is submitted, you'll schedule an interview. This interview is important for the agency to gauge your job search motivation and preferences. You can discuss salary expectations and workplace preferences, like a mix of office and remote work, or working in an English-speaking environment.

Traditionally, these interviews were in-person, but many agencies now offer online interviews due to COVID-19.

After you register, the agency will suggest three to five job options. They'll send you job descriptions in PDF format for you to review. You can either ask the agency to connect you with the hiring manager for more information or take your time to decide and get back to them later.

Registering with a recruitment agency is free. It's worth trying to see if they can arrange an interview for you. In the interview, if it's in Japanese, make sure to introduce yourself well and highlight your strengths and skills.

One tip: if you register with multiple agencies using the same resume, you might find they offer similar jobs. Sometimes, there are one or two different options among them, so choose the agency that best fits your needs.

Your consultant specializes in certain industries, but they might also be able to find jobs in other areas. It's a good idea to build a strong relationship with them. If you're serious about your job search, keep in regular contact. Job details and company needs can change, so staying updated is key to not missing out. Remember, consultants deal with many candidates, and job spots are often limited. Being active and engaged can improve your chances of finding a job.

Choosing a big recruiting agency gives you access to a wide variety of jobs. But smaller agencies have their perks too. Their agents are often more personal and can act as mentors. They listen to your past work experiences, including any mistakes, and help you share your story in a positive way.

Remember, you can always say no to job offers that don't fit you. Sometimes, talking to an experienced job search professional about your concerns is really helpful. Recruiting agencies are always there to support you when you need them.
