ABOUT US
Who are we?
Beasley & Associates K.K is specialized Recruitment for Japan's IT and Consulting Industries.
Navigating Japan's talent market can be notoriously challenging. The pool of local professionals available to drive new business growth is constrained by demographic and cultural factors:
Population
The Japanese workforce population is projected to decrease by 30% in the next 10 years.
Due to a lack of population growth, there is a shortage of younger workers to meet the increasing demand for market shares.
Lifetime Employment
The lifetime employment system adds complexity to talent mobility; however, as this system continues to slowly fade it adds even more complexity to talents.
Bilingualism
Low bilingualism rates (estimated at 2-8%)
Culture
Cultural risk aversion further complicates hiring and team-building efforts.
Many globally renowned corporations struggle to enter the market or are forced to withdraw after investing significantly in infrastructure costs, primarily due to difficulties in assembling the ideal team.
We are here to connect you with the talent you need to succeed in the Japanese IT and Consulting Market.

Candidate Case Study
Supporting your SUCCESS
From Japanese SIer to Gaishi Consulting
40's, M, IMPL Consultant at
Big Japanese IT SIer
Reason for Leaving
A candidate with a very stable background, having been a diligent and loyal employee for two famous Japanese companies (Sier) that conducted business within the Microsoft ecosystem. Upon entering his 40s, in contrast to the loyalty he had shown the company, he was asked to move into another department that did not support his continued growth in skills or career advancement. This sparked a desire to create a plan to build his career and differentiate himself in the IT market.Support - Our services encompass the entire process from initiation to completion. We began by engaging in a profound discussion about his career and delving into the core of what the candidate wanted to change in his professional life. Throughout the interview process, we dedicated additional time to prepare him, helping him to succinctly summarize his ideas. Recognizing the potential challenges he might face in transitioning from a Japanese company to a Gaishi company, we simulated the experience of working in a Gaishi company and the consulting industry. After the candidate received and accepted the offer, we provided detailed guidance on how to professionally transition from his current company, ensuring a smooth departure (Enman-Taishoku), and supported him through the orientation process at the new company.

Country Manager of a prestigious global IT HW firm.
40's, M, Country Manager at a
Famous global IT HW company
Reason for Leaving
Reflecting on the past several years, he observed that the initial challenge he faced was no longer present, and his daily routine had become comfortable and unchallenging. After I headhunted him, he recognized that he still possessed the 'start-up DNA' that needed to be energized. This realization prompted him to make a significant career advancement to the position I offered him.
Our Support
By initiating the headhunt and arranging several informal meetings, we facilitated the discovery of numerous common values and interests between the candidate and clients. Due to time constraints on both sides at the C-level, we had to adhere to a very tight schedule with limited availability. To expedite the process, we departed from traditional interview methods and introduced innovative approaches to foster mutual understanding. Given the seniority of the role, I provided extensive support, dedicating countless hours to gathering details and ensuring no minor detail went unnoticed, as each one could significantly benefit the candidate's progress. Consequently, the candidate remained confident throughout the process.
Reason for SUCCESS
Throughout this process, the key to success was the series of casual meetings that allowed both the candidate and the client to learn more about each other, themselves, and gain new perspectives. These meetings were critical in setting the tone for subsequent interviews, receiving the offer, and understanding the candidate's perspective and the company's dynamics upon joining. These meetings also helped identify the budget and level of support the candidate would receive upon joining the company. Given the seniority of the position, we ensured meticulous control over all controllable factors, resulting in a flawless process. The candidate was able to take a significant leap forward in his career thanks to the strong teamwork between him and the recruiter.

Dream of becoming a Consultant
40's, F, Project Manager at
Big Japanese IT SIer
Reason for Leaving
Despite working at the company for 20 years since graduating, steadily advancing through the ranks, she found the top management's adherence to a vertically divided organization untenable. Unable to imagine continuing there until retirement, I made the decision to change jobs
Our Support
From our initial contact, the candidate required time to deliberate and contemplate her future career path. Consequently, we engaged in thorough discussions to understand the reasons for her career change and her envisioned career direction before she made her application. After identifying companies that aligned with her focus and career goals, we progressed with the process, ultimately leading to her receiving offers from multiple companies.
Reason for SUCCESS
Many companies have shown interest in hiring women for managerial positions; however, I think that choosing a company where she could utilize her technical skills and sales acumen effectively before applying was a key factor in the smooth progress of the process and her eventual acceptance of the offer.
