In my third year at the company, I was promoted to a managerial role and lead a team of seven. At the same time, I continue to work actively as a consultant. The market I handle is large and dynamic, with major corporations whose businesses are worth hundreds of billions of yen. It is deeply rewarding to contribute to these clients by introducing highly skilled talent, using the network I have built over time.
I also regularly support overseas companies in setting up their offices in Japan. This involves helping them understand Japanese business culture and assisting in the development of their organisational structure.
One principle I always keep in mind is to ensure that every interaction brings value to the other person. This applies equally to clients, candidates, and team members. I constantly think about how I can deliver meaningful benefits and prepare thoroughly to make that happen.
