We partner with both multinational companies and domestic businesses with a global outlook to provide market-leading bilingual talent for specialist and managerial positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the Recruit brand, the largest recruiting and information Service Company in Asia and the third largest in the world, we are able to attract top-notch candidates domestically and internationally, from across all industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our network of offices across 17 cities in Asia gives us access to high level \u2018returnee\u2019 Japanese candidates who are typically challenging to locate and identify. We have access to our own industry-leading database of bilingual talent; one of the largest active bilingual databases in the region<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Following the pandemic, do you see the recruitment industry changing and what opportunities do you see in Japan for RGF?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan there have been several \u2018quasi\u2019 states of emergency and the cases are currently low. The recruitment industry is cautiously optimistic in its recovery and Japan remains a job-rich and candidate-short market, in particular for bilingual candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging the power of the Recruit brand and network we are in a unique position to continue to serve our clients and candidates in Japan as well as supporting companies entering the Japan market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan will continue to face demographic challenges with its shrinking work population in the years to come and we look forward to continuing to support our clients to hire the best bilingual talent in this competitive market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Our short-term goal is to be the number one recruitment company in Asia and our long-term goal is to be recognized globally as an excellent company.
