FocusCore

Who We Are

Since 2011, FocusCore has partnered with global companies to recruit senior bilingual talent in Japan. From CFOs and Country Managers to HR and Supply Chain Directors, we specialize in executive-level retained search across industries. 

Our strength lies in combining deep local market knowledge with an international mindset. We’ve built enduring relationships with candidates through years of trusted work in the market with most of our placements sourced through referrals and long-term partnerships.

FocusCore exists to simplify recruitment for our clients operating far from home. Rather than invest internal resources into talent acquisition, our clients rely on our insight, network, and laser-focus on results to find the leaders they need to grow.

How We Work

We’re consultative, transparent, and relentless in our focus on filling the position.

From the outset, we conduct a detailed briefing and co-create a clear Employee Value Proposition. Our research teams systematically map the market, and we approach passive talent directly. Every candidate is assessed against behavioral and functional competencies, and only the strongest are shortlisted.

We provide weekly reporting, market feedback, and full transparency throughout the search process. Our rigorous referencing and hands-on offer management ensure a successful close.

We’re not here to just fill roles, but help companies focus on their core business.
