🌟 Paint a Picture of Success in Your Job Descriptions! 🌟 As a recruiter, I've learned that it's not enough to simply outline tasks and responsibilities in a job description. To attract top talent, we need to create a compelling picture of success. 🎯 By clearly defining what success looks like, we inspire candidates to envision their impact and contributions. Ask yourself: What will the candidate achieve in 6 months? In 12 months? How does this role fit into our company's larger vision? 🤔 To stand out in the competitive job market, communicate success consistently throughout the hiring process. Be realistic about challenges, but also highlight the rewarding aspects. Want to learn more about painting a picture of success?

Why recruiters must be marketers 💡 "Recruitment IS marketing. If you’re a recruiter nowadays and you don’t see yourself as a marketer, you’re in the wrong profession." Well said, Matthew Jeffrey! Recruiting in Japan requires a marketing mindset. You must treat candidates like consumers - convince them why your opportunity is the right move! Passive candidates won't find you, you have to find them. 🌟 Market research provides context and insights into passive talent. Use this to build pipelines and networks. 🌟 Email marketing nurtures candidate relationships over time.

As a recruiter in Japan, I have seen how competitive the job market has become. With candidates having more options than ever, it’s not just about offering a job—it’s about offering the right opportunity. In my experience, the roles that attract the most attention are the ones that offer: 💻 Flexibility: Hybrid work and flexible schedules are no longer perks—they are expectations. 📈 Career Growth: Candidates want to know how they’ll grow within the company. 💡 Culture: A strong, inclusive company culture isn’t just nice to have; it’s a key selling point. But attracting top talent isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about understanding each candidate’s priorities and tailoring opportunities to meet them. ❓ ❓ To my fellow recruiters, What strategies have you found effective in attracting top talents?

Confessions of a Japan Market Recruiter: Rethinking "Shokumukeirekisho" and "Rirekisho" Many of our clients still request these two documents which have long been staples in the Japanese recruitment process. While these documents are still widely used, modern practices such as requiring only one resume (and a portfolio depending on the role) could improve recruitment outcomes and support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals. Here's my take on why it may be time for a change 1. Skills Focus: Emphasizing skills and potential provides a deeper insight into a candidate’s capabilities beyond past job roles. 2. Improving Candidate Experience: Streamlined application processes (fewer document reqs) make recruitment more efficient and appealing to top talent 3. Support DEI Goals: In-demand international talent will have these docs less often. Modernizing practices helps reduce bias and fosters a more inclusive and equitable hiring process.

#JapanRecruitment #ItsUNIQUE #SmallDetailThatMatters Cris, you’re the first recruiter to mention this to me. What? 💤 💤 💤 Just 5 minutes ago, I insisted we go through each line of the job description to ensure everything is aligned. 👀For what? It's a classic sales manager position. ❗I guaranteed: Every Japanese candidate meticulously reviews the #JOB_DESCRIPTION Let me explain 👋 ⛔ If they see a responsibility that seems beyond their experience, they’re likely to skip applying. 💡 Japanese candidates have a strong #workethic, #respect employer expectations, and are #humble about their capabilities. ⛔If there’s no mention of healthcare benefits, they might assume the company doesn’t offer them, making our opportunity less attractive compared to others. 💡They value #transparency and expect the employer to be straightforward as well. ⛔After they review the job description carefully, we can expect a few #questions before they decide to express their interest officially. 💡 #TrustTheProcess and #GoodThingsTakeTime So tell me - What other insights have you gained about Japanese candidates during the hiring process that you found amazed? 🤔 Josh Carne Alice Aditya Josephine Farras Sevira Ferro Anthony Morcom Hanako Hashiba Karen Suzuki Arman Faghihi #TT24 #TheExpectationGap 📑 https://lnkd.in/g_iVsejA
