About the Job
Are you passionate about working for a company that values people and wants to hire talented people wherever they are in the world? This could be the opportunity for you.
Games Workshop is looking for an experienced recruiter to support with the recruitment of roles in Japan. The job is based in Tokyo and as a result, business fluency in Japanese and English is essential for the role
You will be working independently in a growing market, so you should be self-motivated and able to work at pace when needed. You will take ownership of the recruitment life cycle, from writing and posting job advertisements to proactively sourcing candidates, coordinating interviews, taking notes, and making offers to successful candidates. You will follow defined recruitment processes and global company standards set by the U.K. head office; however, your experience in the Japanese recruitment market will help us to find the very best candidates whilst maintaining these recruitment standards. This will include minimising agency costs and ensuring we hire the right candidates within strict timelines.
You will support and advise hiring managers with the right channels for advertising to and develop and maintain strong relationships with the hiring managers, global recruitment team, and wider teams. You will share market knowledge and recruitment-related best practices for the areas you cover, to ensure we continue to be compliant.
You will be an outstanding communicator, multilingual, and able to build a strong rapport with candidates to make sure they have a world-class experience when they apply for a role with the company.
Using our global recruitment system, you will ensure all candidate data is processed securely and accurately and update the system on time to ensure all reporting can be completed.
In addition, you will be required to support a range of tasks on an ad-hoc basis, including translation of training materials and help with project work.

The company has a definite set of ideas, beliefs, and ways of doing business. It believes that how you behave does matter – attitudes and behaviours such as honesty and integrity are even more important than your skills alone.

In return for your dedication, we offer a competitive salary, paid annual leave and national holidays, commuting allowance, full social insurance and pension coverage, and the opportunity to contribute to a global brand that inspires a community of passionate hobbyists around the world.
