グローバル自動車会社のファイナンスディレクター：

「彼は私がこれまでに働いた中で最も優れたエージェントであり、強くお勧めします。常に責任を持って関わってくれ、的確で意味のあるサポートをタイムリーに提供し、素晴らしいアドバイスをしてくれます。求職活動で成功したいなら、彼に相談することをお勧めします。」

化学製造会社の社長：

「ラヒムは、私が一緒に働いたことがあるリクルーターの中で最も才能ある1人です。彼はクライアントと候補者の幅広いネットワークを持っています。特に感銘を受けたのは、候補者に対して的確なアドバイスを行う能力です。これはすべてのリクルーターができることではありません。さらに、彼は候補者のキャリアに対して長期的な視野を持っていますので、彼の推薦と貴重な意見は頼りになります。」

米国の半導体メーカーの日本財務責任者：

「2016年、私が日本にオペレーションを持つ大手アメリカの半導体メーカーで財務オペレーションを管理していた際、ラヒムは私たちにとって重要なディビジョンコントローラーの役割に最も適した候補者を見つけてくれました。他のリクルーターにはできなかったことです。私たちが求める条件に当てはまる候補者を見つけることはまさに至難の業でした。ハイテク企業でビジネスの意思決定サポートを提供した豊富な経験を持つファイナンスの専門家であること、英語と日本語がネイティブレベルで流暢であること、東京の外で働くことを厭わないこと。このハードルの高い条件を全て満たす適切な候補者をラヒムは見つけ出したのです。私はその後、米国に戻りましたが、ラヒムの紹介により配属が決まった候補者は日本で順調に業務を遂行しており、会社も候補者もラヒムが提供した優れたサービスに非常に満足しています。将来的に再びラヒムと一緒に仕事をする機会を持てることを願っています。」

Director of Finance at Global Automotive Company

He is the best agent I have ever worked with and is highly recommendable. He had been always committed, provided valuable and meaningful support in a timely manner and gave great advice. If you are looking for success in job hunting, I suggest you get connected with him.

President of Chemical Manufacturing Company

Rahim is one of the most talened recruiters I have worked with in my business life. He has a broad-ranging of “quality” network with clients and candidates. And what I was impressed about him is his capability of precise advice to the candidate(s) to visualize one’s value as well as the path to higher value. This is not what every recruiter does. Last but not least, he has a long-term thinking on candidate(s) career, so you can rely on his recommendation and valuable input.

Japan Head of Finance, US Semiconductor Firm

In 2016 when I was managing the finance operations of a large American semiconductor firm with operations in Japan, Rahim was able to place exactly the right candidate for a key division controller role, a task that other recruiters had not been able to help us with. We were hoping to find a finance expert with plenty of hands-on experience providing business decision support in a high-tech company, who had near-native fluency in both English and Japanese and would be eager to live and work well outside of comfortable Tokyo. Truly a needle in a haystack, yet Rahim found the right candidate. I’ve since moved back to the US, but the candidate Rahim placed is thriving in his role in Japan, and the company is very happy with both the candidate and the excellent service Rahim provided. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Rahim again in the future.
