Candidate Manager I~III | AI-driven Recruitment

Shibuya, Tokyo | 4 Days Remote + Friday Office | Full-Time

Less Sourcing. More Money. Better Career.

What if you could earn 20%+ above market rate, get better ROI for your time than your current agency role, and actually build relationships instead of being a LinkedIn messaging robot?

That's exactly what we've built at ExecutiveSearch.AI - and we're doubling our team to meet demand.

THE ROLE

You'll manage relationships with Japan's top on-target talent through our AI-powered recruitment platform. No more manual outreach spam. No more wasted hours, trapped doing admin work.

Here's how it works:

  • You handpick target candidate lists each week
  • Our automation (Headhunt.AI) does the outbound messaging
  • Your inbox fills with interested, pre-qualified candidates
  • You spend your days as a career advisor to Japan's tech elite
  • You make placements. You earn strong commissions.

Your typical week:
Meeting with functional experts and industry leaders who actually want to talk to you. Acting as their trusted career advisor. Introducing the right people to the right opportunities at our select portfolio of trusted client companies.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Compensation That Reflects Your Value

  • Base salary 20%+ above market average
  • Commission structure 10%+ better than industry standard
  • Unlimited upside on placements (new starter record (so far): ¥27M billings)

Work-Life Balance That's Real

  • 4 days remote, Fridays in our Shibuya office
  • No pointless admin eating your billable time
  • AI handles the repetitive work so you can focus on relationships

Clear Career Progression

  • Promotion pathway within Candidate Manager track
  • Alternative path into Business Manager (client-facing) role
  • Regular mentorship with senior leadership
  • Skip-level meetings with management for career planning

Technology That Works

  • Proprietary Headhunt.AI platform (millions in proven revenue)
  • OpenAI-powered messaging and outreach
  • Modern tech stack (React, Python, AWS serverless)
  • You'll use AI tools daily - we want people excited about this, not scared of it
