Achieving the Best Matching through 1–2 Month Internship Selections
To eliminate mismatches in international recruitment, companies evaluate candidates' skills, personality, workplace adaptability, and cultural fit through a 1–2 month internship experience before making a final hiring decision. We provide matching opportunities between world-class talent with high potential and skills, and companies driving growth strategies through the integration of diverse human resources.
Registered Candidates's Universities (Selected Examples)
Acquiring World-Class IT Talent
In collaboration with professors from world-leading universities, we provide recruitment support for international engineers and bilingual business professionals who have a strong desire to build their careers and settle long-term in Japan. Centered around graduates from top-ranked global universities, we currently have over 13,000 registered candidates (as of December 2025). We offer speedy introductions to talent who match your specific requirements and possess a "High-Tech Orientation × Passion for Japan" mindset.
Furthermore, our company handles all necessary support for candidates starting their internships (including housing arrangements, upfront payment of internship expenses, visa support, etc.), allowing you to focus entirely on the evaluation and selection process without any administrative burden.
To introduce candidates with the highest degree of compatibility, we will conduct a detailed hearing to understand your specific talent requirements and recruitment background. Furthermore, for companies with limited experience in international recruitment, we provide an environment where you can conduct selections with peace of mind. This includes providing past internship case studies, guidance on onboarding methods, and support for intern follow-up and motivation-building.
We have established a proprietary screening system through which we conduct individual interviews with all candidates to verify their skills and perform aptitude assessments. Based on your company's specific requirements, we introduce highly compatible candidates from our database and arrange web interview opportunities. Our company provides full support for scheduling interviews, providing candidate feedback, and notifying results, allowing you to focus entirely on the interview and selection evaluation.
In preparation for the start of the internship, our company handles all arrangements for travel and entry into Japan, housing support, and the disbursement of internship support funds. Additionally, through regular follow-up interviews, we capture the candidate's true intentions and candid thoughts. By providing appropriate feedback to your company, we offer valuable insights for your evaluation and selection process, supporting recruitment activities that are free from mismatches.
If a candidate accepts a job offer following their internship, our company provides full support for all subsequent arrangements leading up to their start date. We offer professional advice regarding working visa applications and propose specific onboarding plans and schedules. Furthermore, we maintain close communication with the candidate to assist with their preparations and foster their motivation, creating an environment that ensures a successful start after joining the company.
With registered candidates representing over 100 nationalities, we can introduce a diverse pool of talent currently enrolled in top universities worldwide.
In collaboration with professors from the world's leading institutions, we currently have students registered from 40 of the top 50 universities in the world rankings. We will continue to strengthen our efforts to drive registrations focused on these top-tier universities.
Since the majority of our candidates are 4th-year students or graduates with a strong intent to work, we introduce individuals who are highly motivated to secure employment in Japan following their internship.
The vast majority of candidates desire full-time employment after completing their internship, participating with high motivation to earn a definitive job offer.
By introducing candidates who have passed our rigorous preliminary screening and perfectly match the requirements of host companies, we have achieved and maintained an exceptionally high job offer rate.
We conduct regular follow-up interviews with candidates during their internship to address concerns and share their level of motivation for joining the company. By providing feedback on the candidate's status, we support companies in making fair and accurate selection evaluations. Furthermore, should any issues arise, our company can directly contact the candidate and take appropriate action on your behalf.
Regarding housing support during the internship period, we have established partnerships with multiple share-house agencies specializing in international residents. We coordinate closely with the candidates to provide comprehensive housing assistance.
We provide support for visa document preparation both at the start of the internship and for the transition to a working visa upon hiring. We offer expert advice to navigate the complex and burdensome visa documentation process smoothly.
Our company provides services to support the creation of an environment where candidates can smoothly start their lives in Japan after joining. We offer advice to both the company and the individual, assist with document preparation, accompany candidates for applications, and provide essential information throughout these processes.
