Kaoru is a highly passionate professional. Thanks to her, the establishment of our Japan entity and the hiring of our team were a success. She is a trusted partner who can support global expansion, and after more than six and a half years of working together, she has also become a good friend.
Looking ahead, as our company expands its business in the UAE, we also look forward to her support in recruitment<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Fujii understood my strengths, experiences, and even my weaknesses more deeply than anyone else. She seriously thought together with me about how I could achieve my desired career. I feel fortunate to have met her\u2014someone who goes beyond the role of a recruiter.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had never worked in an overseas global team before. But instead of letting me dwell on my lack of experience, she advised me on how to turn my passion for my current work and my future potential into strengths. As a result, I was able to achieve an unexpected career path\u2014crossing borders from Japan to China and working at a global headquarters.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others try to fit people into requirements, but Kaoru is different. Over the past four years, I have met with more than ten recruiters, and Kaoru has been the most dedicated consultant. When I had an on-site interview with a company in Los Angeles, she even came to the location with me.
She deeply understands both companies and candidates, going beyond lists to assess the true value of candidates, and achieves the best matching. She is a partner who can identify the \u201cchange leaders\u201d of the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaoru is not only an excellent headhunter but also the best partner who truly understands me and thinks together about my future career. She aligned my aspirations with the company\u2019s needs and even created a position for me.

While many consultants dismissed my career as unconventional, Ms. Fujii was the only one who worked with me to design it.
We first met over 14 years ago, when I was working in Vietnam, and she supported my career move back to Japan. I was impressed by her enthusiasm in thinking about how to leverage my career and present it to companies. Thanks to her, I was able to achieve the career advancement I hoped for.
As a long-term career design partner, I have introduced many friends to her. I now greatly look forward to her future career support bridging East Asia and the UAE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a short period, Ms. Fujii introduced two candidates to our Shenzhen headquarters: a Marketing Director and a Marketing Specialist for the Japan market. One of them was based in the UK, yet despite the difficult circumstances of the pandemic, she smoothly supported their cross-border transition to China.
Her ability to bridge cultural and professional gaps between China and multiple countries is truly remarkable. We also look forward to her role in bridging with the Middle East in the future.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Fujii has successfully introduced more than six executives, including CEOs in Japan. She is an incredibly reliable partner.
Once she makes a commitment, she never gives up until the placement is finalized. That is why we entrusted her with an exclusive retained search for a CEO representing more than 500 employees, and she impressively completed the placement in about two months.
As our company pursued its vision of \u201cOne Asia,\u201d she personally conducted market research in both China and Japan, and by incorporating her insights, she proposed the most suitable candidate to our headquarters in Italy. I believe this was the key to our success.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Fujii provided meticulous support, connecting New York, Europe, Hong Kong, and Tokyo all the way through to my successful placement.
At that time, I was working at the New York headquarters of a brand and was seeking a career move to APAC (Asia). She introduced me as the Head of the Japan division of that brand.
She seamlessly connected four key locations\u2014New York, the Italy headquarters, APAC management in Hong Kong, and Tokyo\u2014navigating time zone differences with careful and smooth coordination.
Her wealth of information and efficient facilitation were of great help to me. I am truly grateful.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Fujii has successfully introduced a total of five professionals, including Brand Heads and department leaders. She is a rare and trustworthy professional.
Even when entrusted with challenging exclusive searches, she created candidate lists and responded with persistence. For highly confidential projects with urgent hiring deadlines, she worked strategically and swiftly, calculating backward from the desired start date.
I truly appreciate her attitude of \u201cprioritizing our company\u2019s goals above all,\u201d and regard her as an honest and reliable partner.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have long experience in HR and have met many recruiters, but from the very beginning I found Ms. Fujii to be an intriguing professional.
The reason is that she cared less about immediate placements and more about the candidate\u2019s career itself, listening attentively to my story. It was the same when she presented a job description to me. To be honest, at first I wasn\u2019t very keen on changing jobs, but I trusted her words: \u201cMy job is to present you with good opportunities, and I will never pressure you afterward.\u201d<\/em> That turned out to be true.
Because of this, I was able to make my own decision, and as a result, I achieved a great career advancement. I am grateful for that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
