What to read after How to Become a Recruiter in Japan?

Everything You Need to Know about Working in Recruitment in Japan:

Whether it's your first job in Japan or you're considering a career transition, working in the recruitment industry can be extremely rewarding, fun and lucrative. This guide will walk you through the ins and outs of the Japanese recruitment landscape, provide actionable tips, and set you up for success throughout the entire interview process.

Why Recruitment?

In 2013 there were over 3,000 registered recruitment agencies in Japan. Five years later, the number has more than doubled to over 7,000 firms. There is a severe labor shortage in Japan, an increase in foreign investment, and a growing need for high quality recruiters. Since many of the recruitment agencies work with international companies, it's a job that you can do with relatively little to no Japanese language ability.
