Recruiter websites
I investigated a lot of recruitement companies before and fter my arrival in Japan. Here I’ve listed websites for the companies that I actually met in person.
Some of these websites have job listings and other useful information, so it’s worthwhile looking through all of them. Some of them are in Japanese, and you’ll have to find a link to the English version of the page.
- CDS Consulting
- East West
- Ingenium Group
- James Harvard International were very helpful and knowledgeable.
- JDV International
- Options Group
- Robert Walters
- Top Money Jobs, restyled “TMJ” now the bubble has burst. When I looked at their website in 2001, they listed several software development jobs at over 20 million yen. Things are different now.
- Wall Street Associates also did well.
I also saw a couple of consulting companies. They’re worth talking to, but I get the impression that the work they could offer was less interesting and lower-paid than the more straightforward recruitment companies.
- Panache
- R P Square quoted me some alarmingly low salary ranges.
