FOREIGN RECRUITMENT IN JAPAN

Start with the People Your Business Actually Needs

Hiring foreign workers should not begin with nationality or visa type. It should begin with the actual needs of your company: the job, required skills, workplace conditions and the type of person who can succeed in that environment.

TORANOMON supports Japanese companies in identifying suitable foreign candidates and building a practical recruitment process based on actual employer demand.

Demand First. Define the job first, then find the right candidate.

01 — EMPLOYER NEEDS

What Kind of Person Does Your Company Need?

Before introducing candidates, we clarify the actual recruitment requirements. A successful foreign recruitment process starts with understanding the workplace, duties and expectations of the employer.

Job duties and responsibilities
Required skills and practical experience
Education and qualifications
Japanese-language requirements
Work location and working conditions
Salary and employment conditions
Applicable employment and residence-status requirements

02 — RECRUITMENT FOCUS

Foreign Recruitment Areas We Focus On

TORANOMON concentrates on selected employment areas where we can evaluate candidate fit against actual employer requirements.

Caregiving

Recruitment based on applicable qualifications, Japanese ability, experience and workplace requirements.

Hotel & Accommodation

Hospitality personnel selected according to communication ability, experience and the employer’s service requirements.

Construction

Candidates assessed according to practical skills, qualifications, experience and specific job duties.

Industrial Manufacturing

Manufacturing personnel matched according to technical background, work experience and production requirements.

Truck Driving

Transportation personnel considered according to applicable licensing, driving skills and employer requirements.

Professional & Technical Roles

Selected engineering, technical and professional positions based on education, experience and actual job responsibilities.

03 — CANDIDATE FIT

A Good Candidate Is Not Simply a Qualified Candidate

A candidate may have qualifications, Japanese-language ability or work experience, but that alone does not mean the candidate will fit your workplace.

Can They Do the Job?

We review practical experience, skills and whether the candidate’s background matches the actual duties.

Can They Work in the Environment?

Location, working hours, communication needs and workplace conditions are part of the matching decision.

Can They Meet Employer Expectations?

Employers determine suitability through document screening, interviews and other selection procedures.

04 — RECRUITMENT ROUTES

Recruitment from Japan and Overseas

Candidates Already in Japan

For candidates currently living in Japan, we review their existing residence status, expiration date, current employment, qualifications, experience and preferred work before considering potential job matches.

Candidates from Overseas

Overseas recruitment depends on the job, candidate qualifications, employer requirements and the applicable employment and residence-status framework.

05 — RECRUITMENT PROCESS

From Employer Requirements to Employment

STEP 01

Define the Position

Confirm job duties, required experience, qualifications, Japanese ability, workplace and employment conditions.

STEP 02

Candidate Search

Search for potential candidates based on the employer’s actual requirements.

STEP 03

Profile Review

Review relevant information including qualifications, experience, Japanese ability and employment eligibility.

STEP 04

Candidate Introduction

Suitable candidates may be introduced to the employer for consideration.

STEP 05

Employer Selection

The employer conducts interviews and determines whether the candidate meets its recruitment requirements.

STEP 06

Employment Conditions

If selected, the employer and candidate confirm the job duties, salary, workplace and other employment conditions.

STEP 07

Required Procedures

Complete the procedures required for the applicable employment and residence-status route.

STEP 08

Start Employment

Employment begins after the required procedures and employment conditions have been completed.

06 — DEMAND FIRST

We Do Not Start with a Candidate List

TORANOMON’s approach is based on employer demand. We first understand what the company actually needs and then evaluate whether available candidates fit those requirements.

Nationality, residence status or Japanese-language level alone does not determine whether a person is suitable for a position.

Employer Need → Candidate Fit → Selection → Required Procedures
