Arsaga Partners Takes Recruitment Support to the Next Level

Arsaga Partners Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially launched its new recruitment support service, leveraging its unique Arsaga Recruitment Method (ARM). This initiative builds on the success of its consulting division, which has employed over 100 professionals from prestigious consulting firms within just two and a half years. The new service, termed Recruitment Process Re-engineering (RPR), aims to aid businesses in Japan as they navigate the increasingly competitive hiring landscape.

Background of the Recruitment Support Service

Drawing from its impressive track record of building a consulting division from scratch, Arsaga Partners has garnered attention for its effective recruitment strategies. The firm refrains from relying on traditional approaches such as recruitment agencies or paid media. Instead, it capitalizes on direct recruiting through social media and referrals. This reliance on innovative outreach methods has allowed them to attract high-caliber talent despite working with lesser-known clients.

Achievements in Recruitment

• - Talent Composition: More than 80% of the consultants are former employees of major firms in the industry.
• - Senior Level Expertise: Approximately 23% of the hires are senior managers or above, while nearly 47% hold managerial positions.
• - Cost-effective Recruitment: With an average hiring cost of around 4.1% compared to annual salaries, Arsaga Partners offers a competitive edge against market rivals.

The successes prompted many clients to question how Arsaga Partners could attract such a large number of exceptionally talented consultants. In response, the firm shared its internal recruitment methodology, leading to increased demand for external consulting services, ultimately resulting in the formalization of the RPR service.

What is RPR?

RPR, or Recruitment Process Re-engineering, aims to create a “new standard in recruitment.” As Japan continues to face a talent shortage and intensifying competition in the market, it becomes increasingly difficult to attract suitable candidates. Arsaga Partners believes outsourcing recruitment to agencies risks failing to convey a company’s essence to potential hires effectively.

By delivering a systematic and cost-efficient recruitment approach free from third-party dependencies, Arsaga Partners aspires to uplift the overall standards of recruitment practices across Japanese businesses.

Overview of the Recruitment Support Service

RPR employs the extensive recruitment knowledge and methodologies developed by Arsaga Partners to assist companies in designing their unique direct recruiting processes. Unlike traditional RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing), which seeks to alleviate task burdens, RPR focuses on delivering robust strategies that heighten organizational capabilities, refine selection processes, and ultimately maximize hiring outcomes.

Highlights of Support Services

1. Talent Pool Development: To address challenges in reaching target candidates, Arsaga Partners offers expertise on direct outreach techniques via social media and referrals to engage with passive candidates actively.
2. Optimizing Selection Processes: Companies often struggle to communicate their appeal to candidates effectively. Arsaga Partners assists in developing streamlined processes designed to minimize candidate drop-off. It also provides comprehensive training materials and AI-driven prompts to reduce reliance on individual competencies.

Success Stories and Client Examples

Despite its initially low profile, Arsaga Partners has demonstrated remarkable success in sectors where recruitment is typically challenging, like consulting and IT. Their methods have proven viable across various company sizes and industries, including:

• - A leading educational services corporation with approximately 20,000 employees.
• - A startup focused on sales support with around 300 staff members.
• - A global auditing firm with a workforce of about 200, part of a larger group employing over 70,000.
• - A major BPO and outsourcing service provider with around 14,000 employees.

Insights from Key Executives

Junpei Watanabe, the Vice President of Arsaga Partners, states that the firm has grown from obscurity to become a magnet for top talent from well-known consulting firms. He attributes this growth to an unwavering commitment to exploring various recruiting methods and a relentless pursuit of knowledge that directly drives results. With the launch of RPR, Arsaga Partners is eager to share its recruitment expertise and shape the future of hiring in Japan, contributing to the overall enhancement of the country's industry standards.
