​Dear Daniel Biggs san,

It was a great experience working with you.

You provided excellent support throughout the HR Assistant Director search, and I truly appreciated your professionalism, responsiveness, and understanding of our needs!

​Great follow up and feedback. Also provided with talented applicants which we normally hard to find in the market.

​It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Specialized Group, and I am pleased to write this review. I have been working with their team for almost two years and have been consistently satisfied with the level of service. The consultants follow up closely and provide excellent support from the introduction of candidates, through the interview preparation and post interview updates, both by phone and email. The communication is always clear, responsive, and attentive to client needs, which has helped source strong candidates.

I have been working in particular with David Duncan, who has persistently sourced high quality profiles even when requirements evolved. Thanks to his continuous follow-up for a period over 3 months and positive attitude, we successfully concluded the hiring of a key Human Resources position for our hotel. I truly appreciate his professionalism, dedication, and collaborative approach.

​Daniel san first reached out to me via LinkedIn, and instead of simply sending a standard message, he proactively noted that a contract was already in place, which allowed us to start communication smoothly without additional steps on our side. He attended the agent seminar on January 15, and introduced a candidate the following day, enabling us to extend an offer within less than a month. This was extremely helpful given the urgency and high priority of the role.

I also appreciate that, despite having planned leave, he continued to manage candidate communication in a timely manner. Additionally, during the offer discussion, he collaborated effectively not only from an agency perspective but also with a balanced view of both the candidate’s and the company’s interests, which was greatly appreciated.

​I am so happy with the support that I'm getting from Miyuki. We needed to be fast in hiring with multiple changes post implementation but Miyuki was able to adjust and even provided additional support outside just providing us leads. Happy to work with Miyuki and the Team!

​Working with David Duncan was a seamless and positive experience from start to finish. David took the time to fully understand our HR & Payroll Administrator role requirements, ensuring he had a clear grasp of both the technical skills and cultural fit we were looking for. He was professional, proactive, and efficient—wasting no time in sourcing the best local talent available.

​Simon is an outstanding consultant. He quickly understood our needs and delivered exceptional candidates across very different specialties, each one making a strong fit to our teams. His ability to navigate diverse profiles with speed, precision, and insight truly sets him apart. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

​Miyuki is a clear hard worker, and she has proven that she has a strong ability to balance client needs with candidate expectations. She is open to feedback, and to learn how she can better adjust her approach to provide the best result for Specialized, her candidates and clients. I'm sure she'll continue to do great things, and I am confident she'll continue to deliver with her current work ethic.

​Iniyan san supported our organization with best suited profile and the candidate is performing very well. Would like to thank him for the support. Keep going!

​Leo has been helpful, accommodating and he understood the assignment for the role. He ensured that we are communicating efficiently and there was ample clarity. I appreciate Leo’s effort to close the position.

His deep understanding of our organizational environment ensures that the talent he introduces is highly aligned with our needs. His professionalism and ability to provide tailored solutions make him an invaluable partner in our recruitment process.

​We had the pleasure of working with Specialized Group to identify key talent for our growing business. Their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our organization needs by taking the time with us and gain insight into our culture and objectives. We partnered with them to fill two critical roles, including a bilingual Finance Director and an Office Manager.

They quickly provided us with high-quality candidates and we were impressed by the speed and professionalism of the process. We are confident in their ability to meet our ongoing recruitment needs and look forward to collaborating with Specialized Group again in the future.

​Although our HR search was a long process, Daniel continued to provide potential candidates and regularly checked in for status check.

His communication was very timely and frank so we could rely on his feedback.

His partnership helped us to find the right candidate and we look forward to working with him for future searches as well.

Thanks Daniel!

​Ash quickly understood our needs and delivered exceptional candidates within weeks. The person they placed with us has been outstanding and fits well with our team culture. Thanks!

​Thank you very much, Miyuki, for your outstanding support during our recent hiring process.

Your prompt and thoughtful communication, deep understanding of our needs, and passionate approach greatly contributed to a smooth and successful recruitment.

​Kevin was very supportive and we appreciate his quick responses and follow ups. Thank you so much for helping us so far!

​Specialized Group excelled in sourcing an Office Administrator for an urgent role. Their professionalism, efficiency, and dedication ensured a seamless process, successfully closing the position with ease. Highly recommended!

​Throughout our hiring process Miyuki was extremely helpful and proactive in bringing potential candidates, arranging interviews and finalising documentation with the people that we hired. Miyuki was in touch with me regularly with updates, and was very thorough in making sure she understood the requirements for the roles we were hiring for, with online meetings arranged to explain the background in detail. I would be very happy to recommend Miyuki to other companies who have recruitment needs.

​He was supportive, responsible, prompt action, thoughtful, and most importantly he is serious for people search for the client. Confidentiality is trust worthy. Thank you for your great job done.

​I appreciate his quick response and communication in Japanese.

​Very fast yet connected us a perfect match talented candidate. Not just setting up an interview but also supported through the hiring process.

​It was a pleasure working with Specialized Group and Mr. Daniel Biggs. Daniel is highly professional and attentive, with a strong understanding of client needs. Communication was always smooth and efficient. A reliable partner who delivers with care and precision—highly recommended for any recruitment needs.

​As a recruiter, Daniel has been a reliable partner, walking alongside us every step of the way. Among the many agents, Daniel stood out by genuinely listening to our needs and making significant efforts to meet the candidates, which led to this successful hire. Thank you very much.

​Zach Rivers is a highly professional consultant. He helped me in our hiring process of commercial leaders several times. His approach in clarifying "long list" followed by short-listing was transparent and reliable. His approach included the clarification of what are the roles, profiles and benchmark employers to look for in long listing hence his long listing was accurately focused on the candidates whom I was interested in. He also provided the background contexts, motivation sources or passion points of the candidates to me so I did not have difficulties in attracting short-listed candidates too. I felt like he is a long-served hiring business partner to me in the end of the hiring process.

​Iniyan is a reliable consultant. He kept me updated on the candidate's other interviews and promoted my company's position. This helped secure the placement.

​We've worked with Kevin on several hires across different departments, and he's consistently delivered a high level of support. In a business like ours, where service and hospitality are at the core of everything we do, having the right people in place is essential. Kevin understands this and has played a valuable role in helping us find candidates who align with our culture and standards. He's been a reliable partner throughout the process.

​While there are many recruiters who ultimately never introduce candidates, Iniyan stood out by presenting well-matched candidates extremely quickly.

His follow-up after interviews was exceptionally fast, and he shared the candidates’ impressions of our company and interviewers using thoughtful, emotionally resonant language. This made it easy to grasp each candidate’s level of interest and engagement.

He always stood on the candidate’s side, working to draw out information from us that would be truly beneficial for them.

His assertiveness was well-balanced—never pushy, but persuasive in a way that made us want to offer more.

He has a sharp eye for understanding people’s character, which gave me confidence that he was accurately and warmly representing me—as the gatekeeper to our company—to the candidates.

From the perspective of whether I would want to meet someone he recommends, I can say with confidence that I would.

He has a rare ability to give clarity and shape to the inner qualities of individuals—traits that are often difficult to see.

His balance of care, passion, and the pacing of his communication is excellent.

If he is able to support other areas as well, I would be more than happy to work with him again. He is truly a rare and valuable recruiter.

​Ms. Rachel Gao has been of great support not only for me but also for all members of People Solution Talent Acquisition team at Concentrix Japan. The Senior Manager Marketing position had been open since last year. I took over this position from my colleague in March this year. Thanks to Ms. Rachel Gao I was able to get handed over the recruitment process including able to acknowledge what had happened in the past couple of months to the candidate. Also I truly appreciated Ms. Rachel's effort to have kept the candidate warm and kept the candidate motivated for such a long period. We couldn't have made it to close this Senior Manager Marketing positions without Ms. Rachel's support.

I look forward to working continuously and closely with Ms. Rachel Gao.

​Simon has been instrumental in providing excellent recruitment support for our company. Notably, Simon listens well to our unique requirements and has been able to understand our specific needs. Simon's follow up, sourcing and response times are well above average. We will continue to work closely with Simon and the Specialized Group for future recruitment opportunities.

​We have been working with Zach for a number of senior roles at SSP including multiple roles in our leadership team. Zach has a good understanding of the market and periodically shares this with our team. He has developed an understanding of our company and in addition to this, takes the time to understand the specific requirements of the role. This allows him to assess the suitability of the individuals to the company and the role. Through the process, Zach stays close to the candidate and has been able to pitch SSP to the right candidates. I recommend Zach to those who are looking for a strong partner for mid to senior roles.

​Zach has a great personality & excellent influencing skills that enable him to engage candidates in the Japanese market. He has good understanding on our business needs, and he has successful placed a no. of critical roles for us. Love his energy, out of box thinking and importantly outcome driven, which are a great asset.

​It's been a pleasure working with Alex. In addition to the outcomes we were able to achieve, I appreciate his diligence, partnership and proactiveness especially in a market that can be challenging.

I look forward to the next time we partner together, thanks again for all your support to date.

​Kevin is very prompt in his response, 24/7 and he is amicable at all times. I feel confident working alongside him as I know he will act on it immediately and he is professional about it. He goes beyond his scope of duties to help facilitate the hiring process and I feel assured things will get done once I reach out to him. It has been a breeze collaborating with Kevin, he does not hardsell and he understand the constraints of things once I explained it to him. I strongly encourage anyone who wishes to do hiring in Japan to reach out to Kevin Coupland!

​Kelly Yu has been a super-attentive, highly intuitive and helpful partner for us at HekaBio and at our former CRO unit, Vorpal Technologies.

Her approach of really understanding our business model and culture, then finding great people with a strong match to our mission has yielded amazing results.

We really appreciate what Kelly does!

​Specialized Group was a breakthrough that quickly solved our problem. We had been searching a candidate with strong English and Japanese and a hospitality spirit for a long time. We had met with many candidates, but there was no suitable candidate. That was quickly solved by an introduction candidates from Kevin. We had a pleasant experience in that all the candidates we met were excellent and it was very difficult to choose. Our consultant is very quick learner about our requirement and flexible for any changes from us. Even after onboarding, he communicates our candidate and shared us their feeling with our company. Finally, his faith, quick action and diligence led our success.

​Alex is a very professional recruitment consultant that could capture the hiring needs accurately, possess a deep understanding of our target pool.

He was able to share the profiles that meet our requirement who were all well-briefed in a short period of time. And I really appreciate his diligence in coordinating closely with the candidates, providing the best candidate experience together.

Thanks a lot to his effort, we are able to secure the talent that we need. I will definitely continue to work with him in the future.

​I had a pleasure of working with Tanaka san on several HR positions during my time as talent acquisition partner at ispace, inc. Collaborating with him has always been a positive experience. Our hiring needs are often complex and highly specialized due to the unique demands of our industry, yet Tanaka san consistently demonstrates professionalism and a keen ability to understand our preferences. Thank you for supporting us! (disclaimer : my opinions are my own and not the view of my employer)

​Kelly has always been good to work with, but especially with the recent particular occasion, she had found a candidate who was a passive candidate who would not have been thinking of changing the job (thus we would normally not be able to reach), had a very good grip on the candidate, even after being let go from the first position the candidate was screened for, eventually placing the candidate with the most suitable position when it came out.

​Lhannie has been a great help on our recruiting activities. She has been proactively communicating with us and letting us know of the latest candidate status which was absolutely helpful. Especially this time, while it took a long time to reach to the offer stage, she has been constantly be in touch with the candidate and supported for the smooth closure of the deal. We appreciate her professionalism and the credibility which has been built in us. We hope she can continue to work with us as she is one of the best business partners for us.

​今回２つのポジションの紹介をお願いしましたが、Lhannieはそれぞれの業務内容や要件を理解し、それに合った候補者を紹介してくれたと思います。面接日設定はスムーズにできましたし、feedbackの共有、候補者の状況等こちらが求めている返答をタイムリーにくれました。ありがとうございました。

​Very helpful. I would like to commend her for not giving up easily and completing the task until the end.

​Alex has been a trustworthy partner for our recruitment journey. He's always responded me in a timely manner and we were able to close one of our key positions which is head of HR, Japan and Korea. I am grateful for his support and looking forward to working with him continuously.

​Dear Alex,

Thank you so much for your incredible work on the Japan role. Your commitment to finding the perfect candidate was truly inspiring. We couldn't have done it without you.

​アレックスさんは人事領域での人脈ネットワークが広く、素早い対応でクリティカルな人事ポジションを埋めるサポートをしてくれましたので、大変助かりました。

​It has been an amazing experience working with Mr. Kevin Coupland. He can quickly catch the points of clients' needs as well as offering professional insights on the ideal candidate image. Also, thanks to his great network, we are able to locate the best candidates and fill in the absence within an awesome short time. The communications went very smoothly during the entire process and I would definitely recommend Mr. Kevin Coupland and Specialized Group to anyone who is looking for a job or a talent!

​Ash helps to coordinate with the candidate with professional manner.

He responses promptly and helps candidate to submit the required documents.

He also check with us constantly to avoid any misunderstandings.

We can expect him to continuous support to provide a high-quality candidate in his pipeline.

​Daniel demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in navigating the challenging recruitment landscape in Japan. His outstanding communication skills and proactive approach ensured a seamless hiring process, significantly contributing to our success. Highly recommended!

​I am pleased to write this testimonial for Joe, a remarkable headhunter who has consistently demonstrated outstanding responsiveness and resilience. His patience and dedication in hiring for the roles we've provided have been truly commendable. Joe's ability to understand our needs and swiftly adapt to any challenges has significantly contributed to our successful recruitment efforts. We deeply value his partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration.

​It has ben a great pleasure to work with Ash and with Specialized Group. Ash has received good feedback not only from me, and also from the business directly. Some of the roles he has worked on, many recruiters will simply give up, but I can see the effort he puts in to share strong talents to us.

Another highlight to mention is not only is his focus on the client, I can tell he really cares about the candidates he works with. Look forward to our continued partnership.

​I would like to thank Daniel for his capability to close our role so quickly. He was attentive to my briefing and was able to get a good grasp of the candidate profiles who I have wanted. He was able to send me several profiles quickly and thus closing off the position within 2 weeks period.

​I am appreciative of the thoughtfulness Ashiqul brings to his service of Interactive Brokers Japan. My common complaint about recruiters is they tend to take a “spaghetti” approach to matching candidates (throw CVs against the wall and see if any stick).

Ash is one of the few providers who actually works to think through the potential fit (and hurdles) for both parties involved. I am also impressed with his understanding and acceptance of some of the specific requirements of IB, such as dealing through a centralized talent acquisition team, posting CVs through Greenhouse, our use of the PI test and our aversion to people who tend to be job hoppers. We are not the easiest client to deal with, but Ash has proven to be up to the challenge.

We look forward to continuing to work with him.

​Rachel has introduced very good sales candidates for us, she is smart and professional, she can exactly get what we want and always introduce the right candidates for us. The introduction and the meeting arrangement are efficient as well.

​I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Specialized Group K.K. Tokyo for their exceptional services in the realm of talent acquisition. Our experience working with this esteemed agency was nothing short of remarkable.

From the very beginning, it was evident that Specialized Group was dedicated to understanding our unique hiring needs. Their team of professionals took the time to have in-depth consultations, ensuring that they comprehended our company culture, industry requirements, and the specific skill set we were seeking.

What set Specialized Group apart was their extensive network of candidates in Tokyo, allowing them to present us with a curated selection of highly qualified individuals. Each candidate they introduced exhibited not only the technical skills and experience we required but also the cultural fit we were seeking within our organization.

The efficiency of their recruitment process was particularly noteworthy. Motoi promptly organized interviews, provided valuable feedback, and facilitated the entire hiring process. Their expertise in managing all aspects of recruitment saved us both time and resources, and we were able to fill key positions much faster than anticipated.

Throughout our collaboration, Specialized Group demonstrated a level of professionalism, integrity, and dedication that is truly commendable. They were not merely recruiters but strategic partners, and we always felt that our interests were a top priority for their team.

As a result of their outstanding work, we have successfully onboarded exceptional talent that has made a significant impact on our company's growth and success. Motoi and Guy played a pivotal role in helping us find the right people to drive our business forward.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Specialized Group to any company seeking a recruitment partner in Tokyo. Their commitment to excellence, exceptional pool of candidates, and personalized approach to recruitment set them apart in the industry. We look forward to a continued partnership and collaboration in the future.

​I enjoyed working with Joseph. He was quick to respond, heard our needs, and acted with professionalism. I especially enjoyed his straightforward conversation that built trust in his work.

I will consider Specialized Group for future recruitment needs.

​As a TA Specialist at PCI Pharma Services Company, I have worked with Zach Rivers, a recruiter at Specialized Group K.K. Company, for several hiring projects. Zach is an exceptional recruiter who always delivers high-quality candidates that match our needs and culture. He is very knowledgeable, proactive, and attentive to our requirements and feedback. He communicates effectively and frequently, and always follows up on the progress of the candidates. Zach also provides valuable insights and advice on the market trends and best practices. He is a pleasure to work with and a trusted partner for our hiring needs. I highly recommend Zach and his company to anyone who is looking for a reliable and professional recruiter.

​求人をお願いすると、本当に多くの候補者を紹介してくれます。また、フィードバックから募集人材にあわせてさらに精査してくださいます。連絡等の対応も迅速で、いつも大変助かっております。この度も無事に採用につながりありがとうございました。これからもどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

​It was a pleasure working with Specialized Group, especially with Alex.

He provided very professional and trustworthy work, and successfully hired our global HR position with his great effort.

He was always proactive, very responsive, managed the candidate's expectations and gave us useful advice in a timely manner.

We are looking forward to working with him again.

​Kevin Coupland did an outstanding job assisting us source a critical role. He quickly understood what we were looking for and did so with honesty and transparency. Specialized Group clearly understand the market and the candidates in it, giving them the insight and ability to find an exact match, regardless of how complex the requirement may be.

​Margot has been very strong and quick in understanding our business and situations, requirement of the position. She has been resourceful to find potential candidates. All she introduced are good ones who may fit to us (and good enough numbers), which is a proof that she understands us very well, which is critical for the search, as well as she has built a quality network in HR professionals in the market.

Re: communication to us, she is always there to update us, answer to our questions, in timely manner.

Re: communication to candidates, I felt that she is very professional and good communicator, managing their expectation throughout the process.

She is a trusted partner, and I really appreciate her partnership. We have high expectation and wish to work together for future searches.

​I highly recommend Julia as a finance consultant. She helped us find a finance manager in Japan and her professionalism and quick responsiveness were remarkable. Julia demonstrated deep expertise in finance recruitment, particularly in the Japanese market. Her attention to detail, clear communication, and quick response time greatly expedited the process. It was a pleasure working with Julia, and we are grateful for her outstanding contributions to our team.

​Alex Curl, Manager of Human Resources and Compliance successfully placed two individuals to our team for the short period of time. He understands well about the background of the hiring needs, our business and corporate culture, not only just introducing candidates.

His communication is always in timely manner, and we have been building great relationship.

In addition to Alex, Chikako Uchino, Senior Manager of Sales and Marketing placed several people so far. We are happy to work with them and very much appreciate Specialized Group’s great partnership with us.

​He is always proactive and responsive. He also introduces candidates who fit the position, not the potential. For this we are always grateful.

​The services provided by Specialized and Joe have been excellent, starting with open and proactive communication on the talent pool, clear message to potential candidates as to the opportunities available and benefits to working in our company, and timely feedback as to points to consider when moving forward with promising candidates. All these have allowed successful closing with strong candidate in a fast timeline. Looking forward to working more together.

​I appreciate that they understand the candidate's needs and ask the right questions, which facilitates communication and results in a good candidate.

Thank you very much, Specialized Group, for listening to the requirements and needs from both sides and proceeding the quick selection process.

​Lhannie provided very good service between us and the candidate, the communication was clear and in-time, she was always easy to reach when couple of times there were time sensitive urgent communication needed with candidate out of business hours. I appreciate her help that successfully filled our opening.

​It has been a long process to find the right candidate for quite a senior position in Tokyo - bilingual and within a tight budget. Joe was with me throughout the process and we had 2 candidates that almost crossed the line but backed out. It was very frustrating but Joe stuck with me through the process and the length of time and kept finding great talent. In the end I truly believe we found and got the best of all the candidates. A big thank you to him and the Specialized Group. I can recommend them to anyone looking for financial services staff and I will certainly continue to use them in the future.

​ICE Japan hired Daniel as a retainer in early November and right after contract signature, Daniel started introducing candidates to us. A very quick action indeed! He was very transparent and very prompt in his actions and whenever there was something that was not clear, he arranged a Teams meeting and clarified all the points. It was a very effective way to communicate. As a result of his efforts, we were able to close this position on Nov. 22nd. I thank Daniel for all his efforts and for supporting in finding a right candidate for this important position for ICE Japan.

​This time, as a VC, I had the opportunity to provide recruiting support to our portfolio companies.

When we have a big challenge with hiring global or C-level talent, or a specific position that is difficult to fill, Specialized Group is the first partner we ask for help.

In particular, Motoi-san was instrumental in helping one of our portfolio companies with their HR recruitment. Motoi-san provided prompt and the most effective action, detailed and attentive feedback to achieve our goals, and is very considerate not only to the client but to the candidates as well. Thanks to him, we were able to complete the hiring of HR positions in two months, after a year and a half of slow hiring.

​In the midst of a shortage of candidates to target, they did their best to research and were very helpful in meeting some good candidates. When a new HR position opens up again, we would definitely like to have you as our research partner. Thank you very much for your extensive support.

​We have been working with Specialized Group since 2019, and they have found us many good candidates for various roles. They are very flexible and understand our business needs very well. From kicking-off the role, candidates sourcing, interviews set up, and reference check to after hiring follow up, Specialized Group is definitely one of the most professional recruitment agencies we have worked with.

​The wide selection of candidates for risk management positions in our company enabled us to meet the needs of our company, including potential candidates.

In addition, the collaboration in the recruitment process was speedy and precise.

​I would describe Specialized and Joe as authentic and genuine. This has flowed through the recruitment process and helped in landing candidates with the right fit for the role, and importantly the company and our working style.

​Daniel-san gave me a very professional support for our vacant HR position.

He has committed to introduce the candidates to our open position from the beginning and he really did introduce us solid candidates.

We successfully hired the strong candidate, and we appreciate it.

​Ms Cho understands very well on client needs and made great efforts to search, select and communicate closely with candidate and us. The entire process took more time than expecited but with strong patient, she has sourched a good candidate and closed deal. Her strength is a good communication both in Japanese and English directly talking and understanding HQ's expectation and processes. Thanks Haruka san!

By partnering with Specialized, we were able to hire a number of skilled people into our team in a very short period of time. Specialized took the project from start to finish – selecting appropriate channels, proactively scouting on our behalf, screening, testing, scheduling, and tracking all processes until each candidate graduated from probation. They complemented and assisted our internal HR team very well.

I would definitely want to work with Specialized Group again. Specialized Group is a team of dedicated and professional agents.

Specialized Group definitely has excellent teams who were able to help us reach our target market. We have enjoyed working with Specialized Group; they tried their hardest to understand what characteristics we wanted in a candidate. Specialized Group were very honest and active in communicating with both the candidates and us in a timely manner. We were able to feel very confident throughout the whole recruiting process. We would love to work with Specialized Group again.

In the face of social and economic changes, our firm is always striving to reach the next level. To achieve that, we need to obtain not only industry-ready fellows, but also people with future potential. The Specialized Group recruitment consultant we have been working with always understands our needs in detail and promptly provides us with precise solutions that match our expectations. After the decision to hire the candidate from our end, he maintains relations with them and takes care of their worries or concerns. Finally, his courtesy, faith, and diligence have given our firm a platform to be successful.

Daniel Biggs, our Specialized Group recruiter, found the perfect candidate for us in a very timely manner, he was professional and diligent during the entire process. Thank you, Daniel.

The Red Planet group operates in 4 countries around the world. Japan is the most challenging in terms of recruitment as we are growing rapidly in the country. We use recruitment agencies for highly specific positions, and I like working with Specialized Group as they are very active and excellent at following-up. I also appreciate their flexibility and advice as part of providing a more efficient recruitment process.

スペシャライズドグループのコンサルタント、ダニエル・ビッグスは私たちの採用活動においてプロフェッショナルな仕事をし、熱心に対応してくださいました。非常にタイムリーに当社が求める人材を見つけてくれました。ダニエル、ありがとう！

I wanted to thank you for the professionalism you demonstrated with the search, planning, and in conducting the interviews. It has been an excellent experience for us! We will definitely recommend your services and get back to you if we have a further need in the future.

It has been a thoroughly professional experience working with Specialized Group. Their detailed understanding of the requirements empowered them to provide candidates with a fantastic fit. Their quick response to any changes in the requirements or schedules is outstanding.

This project was a difficult one due to various reasons. I was introduced to a very good person, but there was a delay in getting the offer finalized. During that time, Joseph Oller frequently contacted the candidate and updated him on the situation, so the candidate could understand the delay. I think I will be working with Specialized Group again soon. It was a really nice experience.

I have developed a professional relationship with Specialized Group over the past 10 years. I am very satisfied with their recruitment consulting services. They have introduced us to highly skilled candidates, who have integrated well into our company. We appreciate the introductions.

I also appreciated the support of the consulting team and Ms. Chikako Uchino, they are very capable and reliable consultants. Thank you both.

Daniel and his colleagues at Specialized Group are some of the most dedicated and trustworthy professionals out there in the recruitment industry. Not only did they help us successfully hire a vital HR position for the business, Daniel was always available with timely updates, relevant candidate introductions, and suitable advice. I look forward to continuously working with them.

As a venture in fast-growing pace, it's challenging and essential to recruit the right candidates. WIth Kafung's professional and linguistics skills, he has always done the magic to source the right candidate and delivers the candidate with the right opportunities. I wish I have met him when I was looking for a job and I am glad now that he is our recruiting consultant instead of our competitors'. WIth Kafung's support, we are lucky to be able to spend more time on business development than hiring.

Kafung helped Red Planet Japan to recruit a Project Manager. During this recruitment process, the Covid-19 outbreak have hit our business and Kafung has been a very good help to adapt the recruitment to this new situation. Finally, and thanks to Kafung, we have been able to find the right candidate despite the crisis situation. Kafung listened carefully our need for the role and did a very good follow up during the whole process.

We have used many professional recruiting services all over Asia, including the big name ones. Specialized Group provided the best level of quality and professionalism. Andrea Qu was extremely diligent and communicative. In the end she found us the perfect candidate. Thanks Specialized!

Thanks to Specialized Group, I was able to complete the hiring process safely. It was a really big help.

They are faster and were able to understand our needs better than other recruiters. By introducing perfect candidates, we were able to proceed smoothly to the final selection. I had a little hard work, but I was encouraged by the situation. I think that this success would not have been possible without Kafung. In the future, our recruitment will increase across various positions, I would like Kafung to be in charge again. I look forward to working with Kafung and Specialized Group.

Kafung, our recruitment consultant, has been very helpful. He understands our needs and can help you find the right candidate faster than anyone else.

I work with several agents in searching for various human resources, but Kafung's responsiveness is by far the best.

I was looking for the right talent for our position, so I was glad I connected with Kafung. I look forward to working with him in the future.

The role we are looking to hire is a difficult one, it requires both superior analytical skills and strong business partnering experiences. Joe has been amazing in connecting us with many strong candidates in the market, which we struggled to find on our own. In the end, we successfully closed the case much faster that we thought, all thanks to Joe's strong network and quick grasp on what talent our business needs. I can't thank him enough!

In a word, I got impressed by your ardent attitude to introduce possible candidates to us. In fact, I didn't see any staff agent who introduced so many candidates during the short period. In addition, though I think it must be one of the strong points of your firm, all the candidates were supposed to have English proficiency at least at some business level. 
Anyway, thank you so much for your work again. I really appreciate your dedicated and professional work. 

Steven Wan accurately understood the character, experience, knowledge, educational background, etc. that we are looking for in a short period of time, and quickly introduced candidates. I am grateful that I was able to close a position that had been open for a long time.
