Candidate Manager I
SHIBUYA, TOKYO / RECRUITING – CANDIDATE MANAGEMENT / FULL-TIME / REMOTE OK
A BIT ABOUT US
ExecutiveSearch.AI’s vision is to apply modern software solutions into recruitment to create the most efficient and successful IT recruiting business in the world.
We are proud of the company we’ve built so far, but we are even more excited for what is yet to come. We’ve just scratched the surface in our home market of Tokyo so far.
Every person who has joined our company has seen their work hours go down and their pay go up. We do this by automating all the repetitive and low value aspects of recruiting, such as sending LinkedIn messages.
We want to see every employee fulfill all their professional goals, whether that is to be a top billing recruiter, a world-class key account manager, an operations manager, or anything else. The sky in the limit for our future growth.
With an overall gender ratio of 50:50 women and men, ExecutiveSearch.AI is also fiercely committed to building a team culture that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As a Candidate Manager I on our team, you’ll help us in our core mission of introducing job opportunities to candidates. Through our automated outbound recruiting system, Headhunt.AI, and our upcoming jobs listing site, ESAI.jobs, you will have the opportunity to meet the best and hardest-to-reach candidates in Japan’s tech industry.
Every week you will be expected to handpick target lists of candidates for jobs at our clients. These lists will be handed to our Data team to process and load into Headhunt.AI. Then, like magic, your inbox will be full of candidates who want to meet you.
Your days will be full of meetings with a who’s who of tech workers in Japan. Your job is to be their professional career advisor and guide them towards the best career decisions. If this overlaps with our clients’ positions, then you will have an opportunity to make placements at our clients. Placements will grant you commission bonuses.
This is step one on your journey inside of our growing organization. We have multiple career paths available depending on your skills and interest level, providing opportunities for advancement and higher earnings as you develop your career.
THE TEAM
You’ll join a team where everyone—including you—is striving to constantly improve their recruiting & domain expertise. We are an incredibly supportive team–we love to pitch in when problems arise and give great peer feedback to help each other grow. We are passionate about lots of things--automation, the tech industry, recruiting, Japan, business, key account management and sales, software development, and the startup ecosystem--and we love sharing those passions with each other.
We have 3 values that we reference often and return to for every decision: Systems, Data, and Customer Experience.
THE TECHNOLOGY
ExecutiveSearch.AI uses our own proprietary software combined with industry leading software from Silicon Valley. Our core product suite is named Headhunt.AI and it has generated us millions of dollars in revenue.
Our core focus is on high quality data & world-class automation, providing you the free time to be a recruiter and not a LinkedIn robot.
Most of our outbound communication is written and optimized by AI, leveraging machine learning technology from the OpenAI research lab.
Our core stack is written in React and Python, and is hosted on AWS using serverless architecture like lambda. We employ home-grown chatbots and internal tools that interface with external systems such as Microsoft Teams, Calendly and Zoom.
When we can, we release software as open source contributions, to give back to the community.
