Yes, we support both Japanese and international candidates. Our focus is on bilingual IT professionals who are looking for opportunities in Japan. Whether you're a local resident or an overseas applicant with the right skills and language ability, we are here to assist you in finding the right role and navigating the hiring process.
Can I transition from a non-IT background into Japan’s IT industry?
Yes, transitioning into Japan’s IT industry from a non-IT background is possible, especially if you have transferable skills, a strong willingness to learn, and proficiency in English or Japanese. We recommend enhancing your profile with relevant certifications (like programming, cloud, or data analysis), and we can guide you in identifying entry-level or training-friendly roles that match your potential.
Do I need a JLPT certification to get hired?
Not always. While having a JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) certification—especially N2 or N1—can boost your chances, it’s not mandatory for all positions. Many international companies and IT roles in Japan prioritize technical skills and English proficiency, especially for global teams.
However, for roles involving frequent communication with Japanese clients or team members, a JLPT certification may be preferred or required. We can help match you with roles that fit your language level and support your career growth in Japan.

No! For job seekers, our services are absolutely free. Your success is our reward.
Do you recruit for contract, freelance, or full-time positions?
Yes, we recruit for all types of positions—contract, freelance, and full-time. Depending on your career goals and availability, we can connect you with opportunities that offer flexibility, project-based work, or long-term employment with leading companies in Japan.
What’s the best way to negotiate an IT salary in Japan?
Salary negotiations in Japan are typically polite and understated. Avoid aggressive tactics; instead, research market rates, highlight your unique skills and experience express your expectations confidently but respectfully. Let your recruiter guide you—they understand company expectations and can negotiate on your behalf.
