Talent for the industry that builds the chips

Japan's semiconductor industry is entering a new phase of growth, driven by investments in advanced manufacturing, AI, automotive electronics, next-generation packaging and semiconductor infrastructure. As new fabs, equipment and technology programs come online, demand for experienced semiconductor professionals continues to outpace supply.

Our Semiconductor division recruits across the full value chain — from IC design and wafer fabrication to advanced packaging, equipment, materials, manufacturing and leadership. With deep industry knowledge and an extensive network across Japan and Asia, we help companies secure specialist professionals who are often difficult to find and rarely active in the market.
