Unveiling Winning Strategies in Recruitment amid Rising Advertising Costs

As the recruitment industry faces skyrocketing advertising costs, companies are struggling to maintain profitability amidst a challenging landscape. Many organizations have adopted a mindset that increasing the number of job seeker interactions will naturally boost revenues. However, without improvements in the response rates and conversion rates, this approach often leads to a situation where costs keep accumulating without significant results – akin to a bucket with holes.

In light of this pressing issue, Brain Lab, a Tokyo-based consulting firm, has collaborated with AGENT SUCCESS, an emerging player in the field of recruitment consultancy, to host a free webinar on February 19, 2026. This event aims to equip executives and managers from recruitment agencies with actionable insights to thrive in these high-cost times.

Background of the Webinar

The current state of the recruiting sector is characterized by rising fees for job advertisement platforms, which has resulted in deteriorating return on investment (ROI) for many companies. The webinar will be led by Mao Nomura, CEO of AGENT SUCCESS, whose expertise and recently published book, How to Start a Recruitment Business, has sparked significant interest across the industry.

What You Will Learn

Participants can expect to gain valuable knowledge on:

- Strategies for dramatically improving ROI despite soaring media costs.
- Unique customer acquisition methods that small agents should implement, beyond standard scouting practices.
- Proven techniques for capturing responses from ideal candidates through targeted approaches.
- Building a team-wide strategy to enhance decision-making ratios.

Mao Nomura will share vital insights and strategies, drawing from his extensive experience in recruitment over the last decade at firms including Adecco and WARC. After founding AGENT SUCCESS in 2023, he has become renowned for his practical guidance for new business startups in the recruitment field.

Additionally, Chihiro Uchida of Brain Lab, who has a rich background in the recruitment advertisement sector, will discuss system and strategy solutions for recruitment companies facing hurdles in their operations.
