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.

    ​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.
