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.
The specific, verifiable signs that separate legitimate career and recruitment services from fraudulent ones targeting job seekers abroad.
International labor migration is unfortunately a space with a real history of predatory practices — agencies charging illegal placement fees, fabricated job offers, and outright fraud targeting job seekers who are often making significant financial and life decisions.
Legitimate services are transparent about exactly what they do and don't do, never guarantee employment outright, are verifiable through official business/license registries, and are upfront about all fees before you pay anything.
We built this guide because we'd rather you evaluate us — and every other service you're considering — with these standards in mind, rather than take any single company's word for it, including ours.
For Japan-specific employment placement licenses, verify through Japan's official MHLW (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) registries; for other claimed credentials, ask directly and independently verify rather than taking claims at face value.
Yes, this is a legitimate and common service category — the distinction is that legitimate career services should never guarantee job placement, and job placement fees (as opposed to career coaching fees) should generally come from employers, not job seekers, under Japan's Employment Security Act.
We'd encourage you to check — 株式会社 GLOBAL ACCESS is verifiable as a Registered Immigration Support Organization, and we're explicit throughout this site that we're a career representation service, not a job placement agency.
Stop engaging, don't send further payment, and where relevant, report it to your country's relevant consumer protection or labor authority — this isn't something we can investigate on your behalf, but documenting it helps protect others.
