New Guidebook Launch: Starting a Recruitment Business

On October 23, 2025, AGENT SUCCESS Co., Ltd. will release a hands-on guidebook titled "Starting a Recruitment Business: A Book to Lead New Ventures to Success from Zero Knowledge." Founded by CEO Mao Nomura, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, AGENT SUCCESS specializes in supporting the launch of recruitment businesses for aspiring entrepreneurs and new ventures.

The Growing Recruitment Sector

The recruitment industry is seeing explosive growth, with approximately 3,000 companies entering the market every year. This surge has sparked significant interest in recruitment businesses as a solution to the pressing challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including labor shortages and rising personnel costs. The guidebook offers crucial insights and actionable strategies for individuals with no prior experience in the industry, drawing from AGENT SUCCESS's successful track record in supporting numerous business launches.

About the Author

Mao Nomura, the president of AGENT SUCCESS, holds a degree from Keio University and brings over ten years of experience within the recruitment sector. After various roles in different companies, he founded AGENT SUCCESS in 2023 to address the lack of accessible, practical resources for recruitment business founders.

Author’s Vision

According to Nomura, there is a dire need for a comprehensive, practical guide for recruitment professionals, as much of the industry knowledge remains locked away in a black box. He aims to foster an ecosystem where all players can thrive collectively rather than compete for limited resources. This book aspires to serve as a compass guiding individuals toward sustainable success in the recruitment sector.
