Founder James Barratt started recruiting for the technology sector in 2000 at a large Japanese recruiting company. I understand the architectural layers of Japan's technology employment market. My long-term survival and success through shifting economic and tech cycles proves my resilience and reflects the precision I bring to my searches.
