CHALLENGE Struggling With Hiring?

When hiring Japanese staff overseas, most businesses run into the same three walls.

Hiring costs are high

Job board fees and recruiter commissions add up fast, turning a single hire into a major expense. And if that hire leaves soon after starting, the cost is wasted and you're back to square one.

Not enough applicants, and the fit isn't right

Even after posting a job, applications are often slow to come in. Local hiring only reaches people who are already there, so there's no guarantee you'll find someone who actually fits.

Even after hiring, quality and retention are a struggle

With a multinational team, keeping Japanese-style service consistent takes real effort. And even after hiring someone, low commitment often means they leave quickly and never really settle in.

Still in Japan means first access, before they even reach the local market.

By using Tabicari alongside your current hiring methods, you can expand your candidate pool to include people who are still in Japan.

FEATURE Tabicari's Three Strengths

Here's how we address each of those three challenges, head-on.

Free listing
01

Free Listing, Success-Fee Only

Listing your job is completely free. You only pay once a hire is confirmed. Since cost only arises from actual results, there's never any wasted spend.

Wider applicant pool before departure
02

Pre-Departure Reach Expands Your Applicant Pool

Because they're still in Japan, you can reach working holiday makers before they even enter the local job market. Keep your existing local recruiting as-is, and simply add pre-departure candidates on top, genuinely growing your applicant pool.

All native Japanese candidates
03

100% Native Japanese, Filterable by English Level, Highly Motivated

Every candidate is a Japanese national and native Japanese speaker, so you can target people who understand Japanese-style hospitality and washoku. You can also filter by English level, easing any language concerns. Because they specifically want a job lined up before they leave, this group tends to be highly motivated, easier to hire, and more likely to stay.
