We have clients ranging from large foreign multinationals to smaller venture companies, all of whom appreciate the continuing value we add to their business.

A recruitment consultant’s role is demanding and diverse, requiring sales, business development and marketing techniques in order to attract and develop business with clients companies. It is important to build relationships with clients, develop a good understanding of what client companies do and their work culture. Other parts of the job include, headhunting - identifying and approaching suitable candidates, receiving and reviewing applications, preparing resumes, managing interviews and short-listing candidates. We then arrange interviews for the right candidates with our clients, inform candidates about the results of their interviews and prepare offer letters. Sometimes it is necessary to negotiate pay and salary rates in order to finalize arrangements between client and candidates. We would expect the person to be pro-active, diligent, self-managing with the potential to manage others, and most importantly have a positive attitude and outlook on life in general. Fluent English and business level Japanese is preferred but not mandatory.

The current consulting team is a professional and highly motivated group which enjoys the challenges and rewards presented by the consulting job. The work atmosphere is fast-paced, teamwork oriented, and enjoyable to work in. So it’s important for us to hire people who fit into this environment and who share the same values as the current team. When you are looking to fill an important role, it makes sense to use a search agency that specializes exclusively in life sciences. Highland Consulting’s reputation is built on the ability of its consultants to assess both competency and cultural fits, whilst having access to high quality talent as a result of extensive domestic and global networks. When you see a referral from Highland Consulting, you can be assured that the candidate has been carefully assessed, screened, and matched to the position and company culture by industry specialists.

We are looking for the best people, and we believe that those people should be well-compensated. We offer a good base salary with excellent incentives and the opportunity to move into a management position in future as consultants continue to develop and grow. We also offer the chance to work with experienced and professional consultants which means new consultants have a chance to learn very quickly and develop excellent consulting skills. Since the foundation of Highland Consulting in Japan we have grown rapidly because of our strong network and contacts in the Life Science area and our ability to deliver results to both clients and candidates. We plan to continue to aggressively grow and expand in 2012. The core members of Highland Consulting have many years of recruitment experience in Japan and Asia, so we understand how competitive the recruiting industry has become and therefore focus on training and developing our consultants to become successful.
