The problem
Two paths dominate the Japan job market — and both have serious drawbacks for foreigners.
The recruitment industry in Japan is massive, but recruiters mostly work with talent already in Japan. If you're overseas, there's no placement bonus in helping you — so they don't.
LinkedIn, GaijinPot, Wantedly — you only see companies that paid for a contract. Startups and foreign companies entering Japan often skip them entirely and post quietly on their own careers page.
Most Japan-focused job boards are Japanese-first. Finding genuinely English-friendly positions means sifting through hundreds of irrelevant listings — if you can find them at all.
How it works
Our system monitors the ATS systems of hundreds of companies in Japan — Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and more — pulling every new position as it goes live.
Search by role, company, location, or language. Filter to English-friendly positions only, remote roles, or jobs posted in the last 7 days. Save your searches for quick access.
Every listing links directly to the company's own ATS. Your application goes straight to the hiring team, not through a recruiter inbox or a job board algorithm.
The insight
Hiring through a recruiter or job board costs companies real money — often 20–30% of your first year's salary as a fee. If they hire you after you found them yourself, they pay nothing. That changes the calculation in your favour before the interview even starts.
Via recruiter or job board
20–30% of salary fee to the platform
Via company's own ATS
Zero. The company keeps everything.
