 Our focus on the Healthcare, Life Sciences and Food Material industries, and our intimate knowledge of the Japanese business environment, have helped global companies to realize their full potential in Japan and attain their business goals. The expertise of our consultants has secured many successful high-quality senior executive appointments. At Hynd we do not believe our job is done until we have delivered the very best person for your business.
Setting up in Japan
Hynd provides a retained consultancy and search service to support international businesses that are looking to set up a Japanese branch office, and to employ local senior executive staff.
Evaluation
Initial meetings to gain a detailed understanding of your business; your business ethos; your products; new product development; your distribution, positioning and sales methods; and your knowledge and previous experience (if any) of operating in Japan. We will discuss the goals of your Japanese operation, and the projected size, timetable and budget for the initiative.
Strategy Development
With this background knowledge our consultants can provide market intelligence and detailed information on your competitors and their methods. We will give guidance on the cultural issues influencing Japanese business and Japanese consumers that often cause difficulty to foreign-based companies operating in Japan for the first time. We will work with you to develop or refine your strategy for setting up in Japan.
Search and Selection
Critical to success in Japan is the identification of Japanese national senior executives who have the appropriate qualifications, skills, experience, and - not least - personal qualities. To be successful you will need Japanese executives with ambition, initiative, communication skills in languages other than Japanese, and the ability and desire to work in a non-Japanese business culture. Hynd's forte is the identification of Japanese executives with these qualities - we aim to identify the right executives for your business at the right time and for the right remuneration. This we can do because of our long knowledge and experience in the health care, life sciences and food material industries, and an unparalleled network of contacts within these industries. We have acted as career development consultants for many Japanese senior executives in these industries, and many are in their present posts through our efforts. Because of this we have an intimate knowledge of their personal qualities and track record. We will use proactive methods to identify, approach (in strictest confidence), and attract potential candidates to lead or progress your Japanese operation. These will be strong business leaders selected to fit your company, your products and your customers.
Support
We will continue to work with you until an appointment is made, and will assist with such matters as checking references; arranging meetings; the selection process; the offer of employment; contractual matters; and negotiating appropriate remuneration.
Total Solution
We have links and access to Japanese specialists in various disciplines including business incorporation; visa status; accountancy; local tax and insurance; labor laws; import regulation; and real estate.
Contingency search
Clients looking to strengthen an existing Japanese operation can use our services on a contingency basis to recruit key executives for their organization. Hynd often finds the right solution when other search firms have failed because of our extensive network of contacts, our database of specialist professionals, and active scouting of competitor companies. |
