Features of a recruitment agency for bilingual and professional talent

Recruitment agencies are companies that provide a matching service between you, the job seeker, and companies considering mid-career recruitment.

Recruitment agencies provide job seekers with free recruitment services, such as introducing them to companies that match their requirements and preparing them for interviews and job applications. On the other side, recruitment agencies introduce companies to job seekers who match their requirements, and then help them through the hiring process. Once the match is made and the candidate joins the company, the recruitment agency receives a commission (success fee) from the company.

RGF Professional Recruitment Japan provides recruitment services to bilingual and professional talent based in Japan who are mainly looking to work for foreign-affiliated companies or Japanese global companies.

Differences between recruitment agencies and job boards

Recruitment agencies and job boards are sometimes confused with each other. While job boards are easy and free, they can be burdensome and uncertain for you, whereas a recruitment agency can provide reliable and efficient support.

If you want to ensure success in your job search for a foreign or Japanese global company, we recommend a recruitment agency such as RGF Professional Recruitment Japan. The following is a summary of the differences between recruitment agencies and job boards.

Characteristics of recruitment agencies and job boards

	Recruitment Agencies	Job Boards
Ease of changing jobs	There is the reliability of having a consultant who can be consulted on anything.	You have to do a lot of things on your own, from gathering information to arranging dates.
Advice on changing jobs	Consultants who know your skills and strengths will be able to advise you.	None.
Time taken to find a new job	Depending on the consultant's suggestions, you may be able to get a job offer earlier.	It can be a longer process as you are entirely on your own.
Time and effort to find a job	You will be recommended for positions that are not open to the public as well.	It can be a wide search, but it can be difficult to narrow it down, so you have to decide for yourself if it is right for you.
Number of jobs	Consultants carefully select and suggest suitable jobs for you.	A very large number, but you have to narrow down the search yourself to see if it is right for you.
Amount of information on industries, companies and functions	Information only available to consultants who have deep connections withthe company.	Only publicly available information and you have to gather the information yourself.
Challenges in a new industry or position	Consultants make proposals based on your experience and requests.	It is a difficult to enter other industries and positions without knowledge and experience.
Prepare for application documents and interviews	Consultants will give you the best advice for each company.	After applying for a large number of jobs, you prepare for all interviews yourself.
Coordination with companies	Your consultant will handle all the complicated negotiations on your behalf.	You coordinate and negotiate yourself.
Ease of getting a job offer	With tailored support from consultants, you can get a job offer that you are satisfied with.	Whether you get a job offer depends on the amount of your own activities.

RGF Professional Recruitment Japan's main services

RGF Professional Recruitment Japan offers a wide range of services to job seekers. This section introduces the process of our recruitment services.

Consultation and proposal of career plans

Your initial meeting with a consultant is the most important process at RGF Professional Recruitment Japan. Our experienced consultants will listen to you and dig deep into your experience, future career plan and your specific requirements for your new job. Please tell us as much as you can about what you are looking for to ensure the best possible job change for you.

Suggesting job opportunities to you

Based on what you tell us in your meeting with our consultants, we will introducejobs to yoy that match your desired career plan. We are less concerned with the volume of jobs available and more concerned with the right job for you, even if there are only a few. Sometimes we work together as a team to propose positions to you as well as introducing positions that are not available to the general public, and other times we negotiate with companies to 'create' positions for you.

Advice on writing an English resume and how to prepare for an interview

In general, the hiring process in Japanese companies involves several rounds of interviews and written tests, with decisions based on the combined opinions of HR managers and executives. In foreign companies, the hiring process is much simpler: after one or two interviews, the hiring manager makes the hiring decision. On the other hand, the interviews are more intensive, and our consultants can offer advice based on their wealth of knowledge and experience. We can also help you to prepare for interviews in foreign languages.

Providing information on the company you are applying for

RGF Professional Recruitment Japan consultants are familiar with the internal situation and culture of the companies you are applying to. This is a result of their regular communication with their hiring team. They will tell you how you should respond and react during the application and interview process, and what they expect from you after you join the company, to ensure that you get the job offer you are looking for.

Arranging interview dates and negotiating terms and conditions

Let RGF Professional Recruitment Japan's consultants take care of all the complicated tasks such as scheduling interviews with multiple companies you are applying for. Our consultants will help to make your job search as efficient as possible, without burdening your busy schedule. Our consultants also have a good understanding of the compensation range for each company and will negotiate the most suitable conditions based on your potential.
