Recruitment

Japanese for recruiters in Japan: taking a brief, sourcing, candidate calls, CVs and qualifications, interviews, offers and counter-offers, plus specialist lessons on IT, financial services and executive search.

For recruitment consultants, researchers and in-house recruiters who work with Japanese candidates and clients. Eight core lessons follow a placement from the client's brief to the candidate's first day; three specialist lessons then cover IT, financial services, and executive search and boards, each written to stand on its own. It's best after Everyday Japanese 5 or 6. These are language lessons, not legal or immigration advice.

Free to use. If these lessons help you, you can support new lessons on Patreon.
