About Us

Japan Headhunt, at its core, is an executive search firm whose consultants have helped turn the tide for numerous foreign capatalized firms helping to put them on the map in Japan.

Our Edge

We focus on getting you the passive candidates, meaning candidates who are not actively searching for a job, because they’re entirely immersed in their current job. Such candidates are the best ones, and candidates like that would never even have known that an opportunity with your company existed if someone didn’t headhunt them.
