For nearly 40 years Executive Search International has been synonymous with executive recruitment in Japan.
ESI is an Executive Search Firm which has been serving the business community in Japan since 1969. This uniquely long history has earned us the respect and trust of both clients and candidates and we enjoy working relationships with numerous industry leaders and Fortune 500 companies as well as being preferred suppliers for major Financial Institutions, Investment Banks, and Foreign Capitalised Companies seeking to establish their operations here in Japan.
Our Tokyo office is conveniently located in Akasaka just 5 minutes from Tokyo Mid-Town.
For Clients
While attesting to our commitment to local markets, our 40-year history in this country has also ensured us a broader grasp of the Japanese market as well as how to find and recruit local talent than many of our multi-national competitors.
Our Tokyo office employs both English- and Japanese-speaking consultants to ensure our clients’ requests will be clearly understood. Professionalism and integrity of a search firm are critical factors to evaluate together with experience, ability and delivery. Experienced in both retained and contingency search our consultants can assist both foreign and Japanese management with their recruitment needs. Valuing quality over quantity, ESI does not have a resume quota unlike many other recruitment firms, therefore is better able to find qualified candidates who can positively impact a foreign firm’s local performance. Through direct communications with our client’s Japan and overseas head offices, our international staff can guarantee that the needs and objectives of our customers are fully understood and implemented.
These factors give ESI a competitive edge over our multi-national competitors and also provide our clients with the best possible service. Additionally, through our overseas affiliates we can assist both foreign and Japanese management in locating and recruiting vital personnel across Asia Pacific.
For Candidates
We have been working directly with Industry Leaders from the point of their entry into the Japanese market and have continued to build close relationships with key management figures which often span the life of the company’s Japan operations. Through these relationships as well as ongoing networking we have established ourselves as one of the top choices for Market-Entry recruitment as well as being on the preferred supplier list for several leading Investment Banks and numerous Fortune 500 companies here in Tokyo. This means that we often work on confidential searches for clients and therefore have access to many exclusive job opportunities not shared with other firms in the industry. Our consultants are specialised in the fields that they represent and can offer valuable industry knowledge as well as consulting services.
Areas of specialisation include:
- Market Entry
- Financial Services
- IT & Pharmaceutical
- PR and Advertising
- FMCG (Marketing & Sales)
- HR
Throughout our history our highly experienced staff has always observed strict professional and ethical standards as we are eager to continue building and maintaining long-term relationships with our candidates. Our positive reputation is without equal in the market and we have unparalleled access to industry leaders and the opportunities available with them. ESI is your trusted and professional resource for matching your talent with the right opportunity.
