FOR JAPAN RECRUITERS & EXECUTIVE SEARCH CONSULTANTS: INTRODUCTION
We've often said that recruiting and executive search is an exciting and challenging field which can also provide a very lucrative and rewarding career in both psychic and financial terms.
However, there can be no denying that recruiting and executive search is also a very challenging and dynamic field and it's even more so in Japan.
This becomes even more difficult in the face of:
1. Rapidly weakening and imploding informational asymmetries
2. Increasing candidate and client sophistication
3. Increasing candidate and client choices and substitutes
4. A myriad of alternatives to traditional recruiting and executive search services
5. A tightening of hiring requirements by employers
6. A highly fragmented industry
7. Highly fragmented candidate pools
