Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) for Your Japan Office
Hiring in Japan poses many unique challenges, from aging demographics, declining birth rates, and a shrinking workforce to a culture where people don’t often apply to jobs. When you work with Envision, we can help you enhance your entire recruiting process to meet the challenges of the Japanese job market — sourcing, assessing, and securing the right talent for your organization.
As your RPO partner, Envision provides your business with advanced regional intelligence to support your recruiting decisions. Our team of expert recruiters helps you expand your talent pool to maximize candidate selection, ensuring you find the right person for all positions.
How RPO Works With Envision
In contrast to a recruitment agency or traditional staffing services — which focus on short-term solutions for full-time and temporary hires, respectively — an RPO solution emphasizes both short- and long-term hiring success in Japan.
Envision combines all the benefits of traditional talent acquisition with the advanced strategies and technologies of the modern RPO industry. We start by getting to know the ins and outs of your business, living and breathing your company culture to fully understand the mission and values your organization holds.
From there, your dedicated RPO recruitment team gets to work developing a proactive talent pipeline that suits your business’ specific needs for the Japanese market. Depending on the RPO model you choose, we can take on all or part of the recruiting process to minimize the burden on you and reduce overall recruitment costs.
What Makes Recruiting in Japan Different?
The Japanese job market is incredibly unique when compared to other parts of the world. From cultural nuances and demographic differences to employment law, there are a lot of factors to consider when hiring in Japan. As a result, many companies expanding into this region look for a workforce solution like Envision RPO to hire the right candidates.
Here are some of the top talent acquisition challenges recruiters face in Japan:
Talent Shortages
With an aging population and shrinking demographic of young workers, Japan has a unique problem with talent shortages.
Job Mobility
While it’s common to switch companies after a year or two in much of the world, this job hopping is traditionally frowned upon in Japan, where lifetime employment is still the norm. As a result, it’s rare to find candidates directly applying to jobs.
English Proficiency
It’s estimated that less than 8% of the Japanese population speaks English fluently. This could reduce your overall talent pool if proficiency is a high priority.
Employer Branding
Partly a result of lifetime employment traditions, Japanese candidates pay special attention to the brand they want to work for. That means companies must present not just enticing positions, but an attractive brand image as well.
With all of these challenges, it’s easy to see the difficulties of recruiting in Japan. So what’s the solution?
