The Asia Group’s Post

Hi, my network. Today I am proud to announce that Careerbility renew our HP 🌟 [Vision Update] 🌟 As we reach a new milestone in our third fiscal year, Careerbility has decided to take the helm in earnest toward Purpose Management. This decision was made because of the many inspirations we have gained from the changes and challenges we have witnessed in the Japanese manufacturing industry, as well as the trials and learnings we have faced ourselves. These experiences reaffirmed for us the importance of providing value beyond simply placing talent. 🚀Why Purpose Management Now--🚀? In the course of our management, we discovered a small but profound value that goes beyond the simple pursuit of profit. We chose to deepen our contribution to society with the clear intention of "connecting Japanese manufacturing to the future. Around the same time we founded our company, we met with numerous semiconductor industry professionals as Japan's semiconductor industry rode a wave of massive investment and attraction. These experiences convinced us that even a small organization could play an important role in contributing to the Japanese manufacturing industry. This conviction was a strong motivator for us to steer toward Purpose Management and our determination to provide greater value. To mark this important turning point, we completely redesigned our website. The new website is designed to more clearly communicate our Purpose, our vision, and our commitment to the future.

"If you won a million dollars, what would you buy?"🤑 It was and still is the most stupid question I've received in an interview. Try this instead - Instead of a fantasy question based on what-if, try a competency based question that prompts an answer based on real experience. Like for example (not the best example but let's stick to the theme), 👉 "Tell me about a time when you won a million dollars and how you managed the situation." The competencies this question is seeking could be financial management, planning, decision making etc. and you want to probe deep for real examples. The only reason to ask a what-if question is when you are testing someone's creative story telling skills. Anyway I did go to the casino last week but obviously I didn't win a million dollars because I'm still here recruiting hard. 🥲 (Anyone knows a good Design Engineer in Shanghai?) #binoculer #hiring #jobs #interviewtips #humanresources

LinkedIN Job Posting is such a scam. They fill it with irrelevant applicants, then they close it for having too many applicants and ask you to pay. Then they won't let you post for 2 weeks. Why would I pay for applicants on your site when you fill it with irrelevant applicants that are not even in Tokyo. Before you say hey add a custom question so that only applicants in Tokyo can apply. Well if you do that then they close your job post for being oh what's the word for when you are not being equal and fair...? Anyway closed for that reason. So again another month without being able to post a job that makes it 2 months now.... got to wait another 7 days or whatever to make another bullshit job post which they will take down or fill with retarded applicants from other countries.

Entering the Japanese market is a unique challenge for many (dare I say most?) pharma/biotech companies looking to expand their businesses globally. Strict regulations & drug pricing policies aside, the dynamics of the talent market are different from most of the other major regions. Companies looking to establish an entity from scratch need candidates who not only have the technical skills/knowledge, but a proactive & flexible mindset which will allow them to navigate effectively in a startup environment. While this is hard enough on its own, the Japanese talent market has notoriously low mobility and low visibility of candidates. Many biotech companies that have had success through direct sourcing in other regions struggle in this one country because of this. Language barriers and time differences don't help either. I believe that local recruitment agencies with the requisite experience, knowledge, and the right service mindset can add a great deal of value to companies seeking both qualified candidates and guidance/consultation on entering the Japan market. Here at Realstaffing (brand of SThree K.K.), this is exactly what we are looking to do. Companies like Krystal Biotech are one of several companies that our Real Tokyo team and I have been able to successfully support with their market entry in the last few years. It has truly been a gratifying experience to be able to add value to companies who have wonderful products to bring to patients in need. At Real/SThree, we are striving to be Game-changers in STEM. In Japan, we are building a Pharma/Biotech team that is driven by good values and principles, with the aim of forging long-lasting partnerships - something that is key to this challenging market. If you are a firm that is eyeing Japan as a market to potentially establish an entity in, please feel free to reach out to me for a consultation call (j.iida@realstaffing.com). We would be happy to help. #gamechangersinstem
