She is a great example of "not give up not surrender" and strive to become a better version of herself every day.

Deal of the Year

Ai Enomoto

Successfully received an offer from a client and closed, despite the fact that the CDD has applied to over 50 companies but couldn't receive a single offer from any company.

 

Emi Kobayashi

6plc(15M) with in 1 month with one client (new BDed).

 

Khan Smith

13M Yen deal. Exclusive role given to us by the client TA Director. This because of very good relationship with client. Khan supported the TA Director to hire the head of HR of his previous company.

Role was originally only VP, not CHRO but we convinced the client to upgrade the role which led us to work in a political coup to force the current CHRO to resign.

Role was complex with 7 interviews involving top executives from the US

We face a competitive offer of 51M JPY but we convinced the candidate to take our offer (37M JPY) because we explained and offer much greater career development with client engaging on a 3 years development plan.

Original budget was 21M JPY which was totally different

The keys to this success were to have very good success proofed relationship with the client. A very experience consultant taking the role with the ability to provide strong consulting services to the client, helping the client to do the necessary structural / organization changes to onboard a top Japanese talent. Strongly understand the inner motivation of the candidate and propose an offer that had what was necessary to touch the heart of the candidate which protected us from competitive offer. Strong combination between senior consultant (Khan) and strong Associate (Marcus) who understood very well the technical requirements and profile needed for the role and sourced the candidate in only 2 days!
