\u201cWe don\u2019t just present CVs, we deliver game changers,\u201d said Norbert Meijer, the company\u2019s managing partner and head of Japan desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDermott and Bull offers the techniques, processes and tools utilized by larger firms combined with a more dynamic, personalized and collaborative service model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are in a unique position to better understand our clients\u2019 needs, provide candidates with the best possible experience and establish the perfect fit between candidate and organization,\u201d Meijer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn positive, but also negative, ways, the pandemic has changed almost everything. While employees used to work in the office full time, the hybrid model is now becoming more common with employees working from home more often. Heavily impacted industries such as automotive and aviation have experienced a decrease in demand while the acceleration of the digitalization of our economy has led to an increase in online business models.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday leadership teams are asking: \u2018Do we have the right people on board to manage change? What kind of leadership skills will we need in the future? Do we need to address different markets to compensate for the losses we have suffered, and do we have the right talent in our organization to make that happen?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japan connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

McDermott and Bull has a strong track record of working with Japanese companies. Meijer spent 17 years with a large Japanese corporation and held various international senior management positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are well connected to companies providing services geared toward Japanese clients and we are proud to have a large number of long-time Japanese clients,\u201d Meijer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are an active member of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands and DUJAT and have published articles, addressed seminars and participated in trade missions to Japan,\u201d he said, referring to the Dutch and Japanese Trade Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culture fit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right fit is important for McDermott and Bull. Selecting candidates raises three questions: Does the candidate have the right experience and education? Can expectations in terms of compensation be aligned? Will the candidate \u201cfit\u201d into the organization?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With almost 30 years of experience working with Japanese companies, we understand the differences and this knowledge guides us when selecting and qualifying candidates.<\/p> Norbert Meijer<\/strong>, Managing Partner and Head of Japan desk at McDermott + Bull<\/mark> <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Business culture in Japanese companies is very different from European or North American firms and this culture fit is critical when working with Japanese firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meijer concluded, \u201cWith almost 30 years of experience working with Japanese companies, we understand the differences and this knowledge guides us when selecting and qualifying candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
