Make the connection with Ainslie Associates

Ainslie Associates is an executive search firm founded on 20 years of deep knowledge, experience, and success in recruiting across all industries in the Japanese market. We are trusted partners for both international firms and bilingual candidates because we understand that recruitment isn’t just about business; it’s about people.

Focused on People

We are dedicated to delivering a bespoke, high-touch approach to every client and candidate we serve. Through in-depth consultations, we meticulously understand your unique requirements, crafting tailored solutions and offering expert guidance every step of the way.

Driven by Quality

Quality is the cornerstone of our service philosophy. We recognise that exceptional individuals drive successful businesses, and effective communication is what makes things happen. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, ensuring that every assignment is delivered with integrity and transparency.

Committed to Results

We understand the value of your time, which is why we prioritise results. Our goal is to ensure that every interaction is meaningful and beneficial at every stage of the process. Whether you're a candidate or a client, we are dedicated to delivering results and helping you to make the connection you’re looking for.

Candidate Support

We provide genuine, informed advice on your career options and collaborate with you to discover the right role to elevate your career. Our support extends far beyond the initial consultation, aiming to assist you not only now but throughout your entire professional journey.

Client Services

We cover mid to senior roles across all functional areas and specialise in finding the right talent for your organisation. The Japanese recruiting landscape presents unique challenges due to a scarcity of qualified bilingual professionals. At Ainslie Associates, we possess the network and expertise to navigate these hurdles effectively, enabling us to connect you with the ideal talent for your organisation.

  • Retained search services are ideal for companies seeking top-tier talent to fill C-suite positions, critical leadership roles within their organisation, or challenging niche positions requiring highly specialised skill sets.

  • Contingency recruitment services offer a flexible solution for companies looking to bolster their workforce across various organisational levels. Unlike executive search services, contingency recruitment operates on a 'no win, no fee' basis, ensuring a risk-free investment for our clients.

  • Entering the Japanese market can be complicated and present unique hurdles not found in other countries. From establishing a footprint in Japan to recruiting key members for your local team, we provide comprehensive and tailored support to our clients at every stage.

  • In Japan’s competitive talent landscape, understanding candidate preferences, behaviours, and market trends is essential for attracting and retaining top talent. Our market insights provide our clients with valuable intelligence to navigate the ever-evolving recruitment landscape and stay ahead of the competition.

Whether you are a company needing to hire within Japan or a bilingual professional looking for your next step, we are here to help you make the connection.
