For employers hiring in Japan
Size the market before you write the brief
Most senior HR searches in Japan that fail do so on assumptions made before the role opens: a budget set in base salary, a location the pool does not live in, an English bar most candidates do not meet.
The HR Hire Sizer
Choose the level (Head of HR, HR Director, HR VP or CHRO), the location, the English you need and your budget. See how many people fit, how many would realistically move, what the market pays, and the single constraint most likely to stall the search.
