Emile Goldberg, representative director, James Harvard International Asia: "Founded in London in May 2000, James Harvard International is a privately owned global technology recruitment partner.

What are some advantages to your company's approach to IT recruiting? Simon Childs: We have built a strong referral network based on several hundred successful mid-level and board-level IT placements, and we operate with integrity and professionalism as one of Tokyo's few legal and licensed search firms. Koichi Sakuma: The primary focus of our company is to get candidates from countries like India, which has a vast range of candidates with very high technical skills and are highly motivated to learn the Japanese language Japanese language Language spoken by about 125 million people on the islands of Japan, including the Ryukyus. The only other language of the Japanese archipelago is Ainu (see Ainu), now spoken by only a handful of people on Hokkaido, though once much more widespread. . We provide our candidates with full support to adjust in a Japanese as well as a multinational client environment." Mark Stoneman: "I have several years of continuous experience in Tokyo and since we're a smaller company I can give very customized service." Krishna Mahalingam: "The main advantage as we see it is the ability of our consultants to understand the terminologies and the applications because of the knowledge and experience that they possess." Keishi Takase: "Our focus has been on IT recruiting for quality professionals in application, system design, networking and project management to help companies realize e-business solutions and IT executive management resources toward the next century." Richard Bysouth: "Since we're an online service, we can be reached seven days a week, 24 hours a day from wherever you can get access to the Internet. We also offer much lower costs, a great deal of flexibility, instant updates, direct applications and are very user friendly." Mark Saft: "Our strength is in placing bilingual executives and senior managers with our clients. Our greatest strength is in filling the hard to fill positions that other firms often walk away from." Markus Leach: "Tim Ondo and I have been focused on IT Industry recruiting for the last 10 years. Together, we have nearly 20 years of recruiting experience developing the candidates and the contacts." Cynthia Green: "PANACHE's approach to recruiting IT professionals is based on 'reputation', creating a win-win situation for both the client and the candidate." Steve Giles, manager, CDS: "Each client is handled by only one consultant, who will do their best to learn the client's business, take the client's story into the market, and only introduce candidates who fit closely with what the client is looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. . This means fewer resumes, less time interviewing, less time wasted and better results." Adriana Alexandrescu: "A lot of clients who meet with our consultants for the first time are surprised by how open, direct and authentic we are. Our approach in establishing relations with clients and candidates is that we must place their best interests at the top of our lists of priorities." Michelle Ash: "We specialize spe·cial·ize v. 1. To limit one's profession to a particular specialty or subject area for study, research, or treatment. 2. To adapt to a particular function or environment. in positions for people just starting in the IT industry, which is different from executive search firms. We can help people at the start of their career." Terrie Lloyd: "Clearly our brand is well known and this creates a huge volume of resumes received every month--between 2,500-3,000 people. Over 80 percent of these applicants are bilinguals, and so we have unparalleled choice of applicants within the bilingual IT recruiting industry." Mathew Gollop: "The strength of our relationships is based on the fact that we provide honest feedback throughout the recruitment process in order to deliver the best possible solution." Junji Fukada: "Not only to the IT industry, but also to any industry, we can generally say that being a relatively small company means greater flexibility, allowing lxsus to provide a responsive, personalized per·son·al·ize tr.v. per·son·al·ized, per·son·al·iz·ing, per·son·al·iz·es 1.

James Yellowless: "Our consultants are IT industry specialists who have actually worked in the industry. They can therefore understand client specifications and requirements and are able to access high quality and appropriate candidates for key positions." Jeffrey F. Fisher: "Through proactive research, we identify the companies who are compatible with the skill-set needs of our clients and then identify the people within each target company who have a demonstrated achievement record and meet the requirements of our clients."

These codes vary from the more or less flexible laws of social usage (differing according to local customs or taboos) to the rigid conventions of court and military circles, and they is very rigid in a Japanese business environment. The level of language skill determines the scope of adjustment in the new environment to quite an extent." Krishna Mahalingam: Some firms prefer foreign nationals over Japanese for certain positions, mainly because of the need to integrate operations in different locations with Japan, a situation in which communication and inter-personal relationship carries a lot of weight, an area where Japanese nationals are generally perceived to be unable to cope in an effective way." Mark Stoneman: "At present, many Japanese companies aren't considering foreigners. Therefore, foreigners have to have a very specialized skill set and speak Japanese very well." Adriana Alexandrescu: With several waves of lay-offs in different industries over the past year or so, companies can choose from a wider pool of candidates and tend to choose those only with excellent Japanese language skills; reading and writing abilities included." Terrie Lloyd: "Japanese are much more likely to get jobs in the current economy. It's unfair, but it's the reality." Junji Fukada: "If the foreigners are familiar with Japanese culture and society, there would not be any difference." What specific positions are the most difficult to fill right now and why? Emile Goldberg: "All roles are difficult to fill right now. As there are more people available on the market today, our clients are not willing to compromise on any of the requirements for their respective positions." Todd Miller: "Over the past year we have seen increased demand for managers and senior executives at many of our technology clients because of the recent market turmoil which has resulted in a higher level of executive turnover than in the past." Cynthia Green: "There has been an increase in companies to optimize their existing operations resulting in seeking solutions in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. consulting. Therefore, there has been a sudden increase in the demand for bilingual SAP consultants." Steve Giles: "When a single candidate is required to have deep technical ability, strong business skills and a high level of English fluency flu·ent adj. 1. a. Able to express oneself readily and effortlessly: a fluent speaker; fluent in three languages. b. , this greatly limits the available pool of talent." Adriana Alexandrescu: "Native Japanese language levels with experience in Sybase or Unix or a position which requires several skills such as an ERP implementation but also requires Unix." Terrie Lloyd: "Companies are looking for experienced senior managers with bilingual skills and who are still relatively young. These are conflicting requirements, in a country where senior managers don't like to move too much anyway." Mathew Gollop: "The main area of difficulty remains within niche areas requiring specific business knowledge combined with exact technical skills and bilingual language capabilities." What opportunities should emerge in the near future and how can potential job-changers prepare to take advantage? James Yellowlees: "There is a big demand for self-starters and those who are willing to take some risk in terms of compensation." Tim Ondo, JCI Consulting: "Japanese need to change as a society to keep pace with global competition and they have been. What we are seeing recently is a new breed of Japanese. People that think out of the box and are real entrepreneurs." Richard Bysouth: "Although the job market has slowed down, there is still, and will continue to be, a great need for skilled and experienced candidates who can communicate effectively in both English and Japanese." Cynthia Green: "In the future we will see an increase in the need for specialized services such as ERP Consulting, SCM (1) (Software Configuration Management, Source Code Management) See configuration management. (2) See supply chain management. , e-business, SAN or object oriented See object technology and object-oriented programming. web technologies." Steve Giles: "One area which has yet to reach full potential is business intelligence applications, and related technologies. This sector has been growing steadily for several years and continues to do so." Adriana Alexandrescu: "SCM/CRM systems are still not used as extensively as they could be but this will change in the future. Internet and network security needs will also greatly increase." Michelle Ash: "The advice I give the most is learn the language'!

(jargon) downsizing STRATEGY A SLOWING GLOBAL ECONOMY and economic recession in Japan is driving large Japanese companies to cut money-losing operations and thousands of jobs. Upwards of a million people have lost their jobs due to restructuring and bankruptcies, and successful downsizing usually means hiring an outplacement agency to help their laid-off workers find new jobs. Outplacement agencies are designed to help employers downsize Downsize Reducing the size of a company by eliminating workers and/or divisions within the company.

Normally, services for these individuals include counseling, interview training, computer lessons and interview arrangements. Until now, the service hasn't been as common in Japan as in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.

"Outplacement companies like HU provide both career counseling Noun 1. career counseling - counseling on career opportunities counseling, counselling, guidance, counsel, direction - something that provides direction or advice as to a decision or course of action services and job-searching services," says Mr. Manabu Yorozu, director of the corporate client division at Hu Management. "This is the major difference from outplacement service in the USA and Europe, because they usually provide only counseling services, and job-searching is the role of recruiters. Hu Management was established on October 16,1995, by Yoshiaki Saito, the president & CEO. Mr. Saito, while working in New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , had a chance to see the outplacement service in the US. He thought it was a sophisticated way to settle downsizing peacefully and it would be needed in Japan soon. As most downsizing decisions and outplacement agency selections are made through the multinational's head office, Hu became a member of Arbora Global Career Partners in February 2000. Arbora is built on the solid foundation of well established organizations who are quality leaders in their markets and grouped regionally and globally to ensure their perspective reflects their client needs at every level. One of the bigger problems specifically for outplacement in Japan is that many of the Japanese people The Japanese people (日本人 Nihonjin, Nipponjin being downsized are middle-aged or older managers who really don't have experience in the job market. They were expecting lifetime employment and now are faced with a whole new challenge they aren't prepared for. This leads quite naturally to the services of outplacement firms like Hu, who will continue to thrive in Japan's economic recovery and beyond. DIRECTORY LISTING A.C.E. International Ltd.
