NINJA Global Recruiting Awards 2024
The NINJA Global Recruiting Awards 2024 has recognized the recruitment agencies that excelled in assisting in the hiring of foreign professionals during the year. Organized by Global Power Co., Ltd., headquartered in Taito, Tokyo, this initiative aims to promote the integration of foreign workforce into Japan's labor market.
The awards highlight the achievements of the top five recruitment firms that successfully aided in the hiring of foreign employees from April 2024 to March 2025. Out of 219 recruitment agencies that utilized the NINJA platform during this period, these five companies were instrumental in helping to place 141 individuals in various roles. This accomplishment showcases the necessity and value of international talent in Japan, particularly as the nation faces a declining population.
Purpose of the NINJA Global Recruiting Awards
With Japan’s population expected to further decrease, the importance of foreign professionals is crucial not only for labor but also for enhancing domestic demand and tax revenues. This awards program acknowledges the recruitment firms' vital role in creating a supportive and welcoming environment for foreign workers. The comments from the award-winning agencies reflect a comprehensive support system that combines career advancement, lifestyle orientation, and strategic planning for long-term growth.
The recognition provided through these awards fosters an environment where mutual knowledge sharing and celebration of success stories can thrive, empowering more foreign talent to find rewarding employment in Japan.
