Talent Acquisition Partner for Japan

About the Role & Team

We're looking for a driven and autonomous Talent Acquisition Partner to join our dynamic international recruiting team. In this pivotal role, you'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle across the APAC region, with a particular focus on attracting top talent in Japan. While the core of your responsibilities will involve hiring for critical Data & Analytics and Research positions, you'll also have the opportunity to support recruitment for other diverse and exciting roles within our organization such as Sales, Marketing, Events, and others.

Type of contract: Temporary (1 year contract)

What You’ll Do

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for assigned requisitions, from intake meetings and role definition to offer management, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for both candidates and hiring managers.

• Develop and execute comprehensive sourcing strategies using a variety of channels, including LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, professional networks, and direct outreach.

• Conduct thorough candidate screenings and interviews, assessing skills, experience, cultural fit, and motivation, and provide insightful recommendations to hiring teams.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with hiring managers, acting as a trusted advisor on recruitment best practices, market trends, and talent availability.

• Proactively manage and nurture a pipeline of candidates for current and future hiring needs, leveraging our CRM tool (iCIMS) and maintaining regular communication.

What You Bring

• Fluency in English (spoken and written, at least B2 level) and Japanese is mandatory.

• Minimum of 2 years of proven experience in managing the full recruitment lifecycle.

• Experience with recruitment in Japan (pro-active sourcing as well knowledge of local job boards) is a significant advantage.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and influence stakeholders at all levels.

• Autonomous mindset with the ability to manage international time zones and diverse cultural nuances effectively.

Why This Role Stands Out

In this role, you will enjoy the unique challenge of recruiting across diverse regions in APAC, gaining broad exposure to international markets with a primary focus on the dynamic landscape of Japan. You will work as part of a truly global team, collaborating daily with international colleagues in a high-energy, supportive environment.

Furthermore, you get to be part of an interesting company that shapes how the world understands technology and where it goes next. At IDC, you will collaborate with curious, high-caliber colleagues who value rigor, integrity, and shared success. As the premier global provider of trusted technology intelligence, IDC equips business and technology leaders with the evidence they need to make confident decisions, and you will be the one finding the talent that makes this possible.

What We Offer

• Individualized Culture: An environment where you can explore new areas outside your specialty and stay engaged with work you enjoy.

• Remote Work & Flexibility: Work from home with a requirement of only one day per month in the office.

• Modern Tools: Access to LinkedIn Recruiter, iCIMS, and AI-driven productivity tools.

• Social Life: Popular team events including mini-golf, archery games, laser tag, and social outings.
