This is a career representation service — LinkedIn optimization, resume writing, and networking outreach. We do not place candidates in jobs or guarantee employment. Job placement in Japan is handled separately by our licensed partner agencies.
A direct explanation of what you pay for, what you don't pay for, and why — since transparency here matters more than in most service categories.
Given the real history of exploitative practices in international recruitment, we think it's worth being unusually direct about exactly what our fees cover and, just as importantly, what they explicitly do not cover.
You pay a coordination/concierge fee for career representation work — LinkedIn, resume, networking outreach, interview prep. You never pay us a job placement fee, because we don't place you in jobs; that's a separate, licensed function handled by our partner network.
We'd rather lose a potential client who's uncomfortable with this structure upfront than have someone pay us under a misunderstanding they only discover later.
Potentially yes, if you use both our career representation services and a separate licensed placement agency's services — these are legally distinct functions with separate fee structures, which we want you to understand clearly upfront rather than discover later.
This depends on the specific circumstances and how far into the engagement you are — ask us directly about our specific policy before starting.
Because the distinction between career representation fees and placement fees is exactly the point where predatory practices in this industry tend to hide — we'd rather over-explain than have you assume something we don't actually do.
Structures vary by provider — we can only speak to and stand behind our own, which is why we've laid it out this explicitly.
