The client needed an experienced HR Director to spearhead a new initiative focused on workforce transformation. However, finding candidates with a proven track record in designing and executing large-scale transformation projects proved challenging. Additionally, the client required the candidate’s expertise to align with their long-term strategic goals. To tackle this challenge, we conducted a targeted search to identify HR leaders with specialized experience in workforce transformation. Collaborating closely with the client, we refined the role's scope and developed a tailored candidate profile aligned with their strategic vision. We also provided insights into market trends and candidate expectations, ensuring a strong match between talent and the company’s needs.
A Japanese technology multinational corporation (MNC) needed a fully bilingual (Japanese/English) Senior HR Business Partner (HRBP) with deep expertise in change management to support an urgent organizational transformation project.  To meet the client’s urgent needs, we designed a priority search strategy and leveraged our global talent network to identify and engage bilingual professionals with expertise in change management within two weeks. 
A Japanese food & beverage multinational corporation (MNC) sought a highly experienced Global Compensation & Benefits Director to lead its global compensation strategy. The ideal candidate needed deep expertise in international compensation frameworks and the ability to navigate both Western and Japanese business environments. Identifying a senior executive with this niche skill set and cultural adaptability posed a significant challenge. To address this, we conducted a specialized, cross-border executive search targeting senior leaders with global expertise in compensation and benefits. We identified a candidate with a strong track record in both Western and Japanese corporate settings, ensuring a seamless cultural fit and alignment with the company’s global strategy.
