​Fiona really worked hard and collaborated very well with us. Not only introducing the great candidate, but she always walks our journey together, by understanding our business, circumstances and people.

​

Without any doubt, she is our trusted partner and looking forward to working closely and continuously with her.

​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.

Dan Tan is excellent person who can understand people's mindset to finalize the candidate. Also appreciate for his relentless and bold support for not only for the candidate but also the customer.

​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!

​Yuki came highly recommended, and she did not disappoint. She took careful notes and was very exact in her introductions. It took her no more than 3 candidates for the hiring manager to make a decision to hire. Yuki was also adaptable and able to work with changing agendas and move the offer along with a steady hand. We would definitely work with her again.

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.

Specialized Group has been a great partner for our company in hiring IT, Finance, and HR Talent in Japan. Their consultants are friendly, supportive and professional. They go the extra step to understand not just our requirements but the company’s future and the culture. We are glad to have them as our recruiting partner and would recommend them.

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.

Working with Specialized Group has been a pleasure - I am grateful to have partnered with Chris who has proven to be a persistent recruiter who is adaptable and proven to be a good listener. He has helped greatly as well throughout the candidate process and it has been a pleasant experience for all parties involved. We look forward to work with him and Specialized Group for future roles.

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.

Chris is a responsive consultant who always did a lot of efforts to source and introduce relevant talents for our open positions. He can adapt quickly to sudden business changes that affect the recruitment priorities and he has always shown a positive attitude to support our hiring activities. It’s a real pleasure to work with such a reliable agent.

I have worked with Chris-san for three positions this year, and I appreciate his prompt responses and thorough and consistent support whenever. It has been very comfortable for me to consult him about our search, and I hope to continue our partnership with Chris-san and Specialized Group for our future search.

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.
