Careers
Work that maximizes
the potential of talent.
Recruitment moves both the future of a company and the life of an individual. At Talent x Buzz, you work with both clients and candidates as a specialist headhunter, growing your expertise and your own team.
Why Talent x Buzz
Six reasons to join us
Own both sides of the hire
Each consultant works with both the client and the candidate, from understanding the hiring need to offer and onboarding. You are part of the whole decision.
Expertise that builds your market value
Go deep in one sector — logistics & SCM, manufacturing, real estate & construction, IT or life sciences. Expertise that lets you speak with executives becomes your career asset.
Results that are rewarded
Our incentive scheme is linked to your results, and also rewards team and company growth. We explain the details in the interview.
Build your own team
Launching new sectors and building teams are missions we hand to our people. Grow from consultant to manager or business head.
Japan and Vietnam
From Japan and Vietnam, we support hiring for global and Japanese companies, with chances to use English and work with our overseas office.
Growth and results, together
One-on-one coaching from the CEO, our own Training Books and live-deal training. Not pure pay-for-results, but results that come with growth.
By the numbers
Values
Trust and speed.
That is where great hiring begins.
Build trust
Be honest with both clients and candidates. Share concerns openly and build relationships that last.
Respond fast
Hiring and career opportunities do not wait. Fast responses build trust and results.
Win as a team
We pursue team and company goals, not just individual numbers, and share targets and progress at a monthly all-hands meeting.
03 — People development
Not just a firm that hires great recruiters —
a firm that keeps creating them.
We apply our mission — believe in people and maximize their potential — to our own team, not just to candidates and clients. Instead of pure pay-for-results, we aim for results that come with growth, linking training through to pay and career as one system.

Our own training program
Newcomers and experienced hires are not put through the same course. Training fits each person’s experience, grade and challenges. The goal is not just learning how recruitment works, but raising your market value as a recruiter: proposals, executive communication, market insight and reaching senior talent.
The Talent x Buzz Way
To move away from recruitment that depends on individual talent alone, we break the recruiter’s work into steps and turn them into repeatable processes.

Training Books
We are building Training Books for each part of the job, starting with the Talent x Buzz Way and sourcing. They go beyond procedures to cover the four points below, and are adjusted to each member’s challenges.

How it leads to results
Which KPIs we track
Which mistakes to avoid
Sourcing, for example, is defined not as mass messaging but as showing candidates new possibilities and creating the right match — then tracked by numbers all the way to revenue.

AI that frees time for what matters
AI does not replace recruiters. It speeds up routine work, organizing information, writing and research, so people can focus on higher-value work. With our CRM and data, candidate, job and market information becomes a company asset, not something kept in individual memory or spreadsheets.
- AI & Technology
- Less time on routine work
- Conversations with candidates & clients
- Proposals & consulting
- Business development
A firm that builds its own voice
Recruiting × Sales × Marketing × Branding × Market Strategy
Beyond taking roles and finding candidates, we speak to the market as a company, mainly on LinkedIn, so that candidates, clients and information come to Talent x Buzz.

A Promotion Contract is set at hiring and at each promotion, making clear what it takes to reach the next grade. The higher the grade, the more we look beyond revenue to:
Base salary + performance commission
We do not hold pay down in exchange for training. People who grow and deliver are rewarded. Rather than a firm where only a few stars earn well, we aim to keep developing recruiters at the ¥10M-a-year level.
Goals and reviews are set through meetings with the CEO and an annual review.

Message
For people who want to build
their expertise and their team.
At a global headhunting firm, I built a recruitment desk from zero and worked as a top consultant in Asia. I learned that great hiring is built on trust and fast responses.
Talent x Buzz is still growing. That means each person can own a sector, build a team and help shape the business. We value winning as a team, not just individual results.
Let’s grow this work of maximizing people’s potential together.
