【Now Streaming: Business Japanese Podcast🍊】 My friend and I have started recording a podcast for advanced Japanese learners (N-1 level) to learn some real, native, smooth business Japanese expressions. I have been speaking with a lot of non- Japanese talents who want to work in Japan, but their biggest challenge has always been “Japanese proficiency-business to native level”! Many of learners say things like - “I can do casual conversations without any prob but not Keigo” or - “Japanese dramas and anime are not really a good teacher when it comes to learn natural Japanese phrases to use in real life”. It’s such a shame we Japan always have to miss those talents …and finally I got to this point “…why don’t I do something which might help Japanese learners as a Japanese businessperson!!!” Since we’re new to record / edit contents like this, I’d like to ask you if there’s any request or comment. Please let me know anytime. We’d like to adjust the structure, speed, or any other things to make it easier or enjoyable for learners. and please forgive us - still struggling with the audio quality - we’ll improve this asap :)) The content is conducted only in Japanese, so you may use it to test how much you can understand. And the script & translation can be downloaded from the link in the profile.

Quick tip for foreign-capital tech companies hiring AEs in Japan. As recruiters, we often identify great candidates, but we don’t have everyone’s phone number. Outreach via email or LinkedIn InMails is often our only route to start engaging, and when we don’t get a reply, it’s not always because the candidate isn’t a fit/non-interested. More often than we'd expect, it’s because candidates simply don't understand what the company actually does/sell. Many SaaS solutions are super niche or just a few steps ahead of where the Japanese market currently is. That mismatch creates confusion or hesitation. Japan’s adoption curve is slower, and sometimes candidates need a little extra help to connect the dots. What worked for us: Too long outreach messages tend to turn candidates off, so we asked our clients to provide a simple 1-page PDF that explains (in easy, non-buzzwordy language) what they sell, ideally with real examples, (so, not just a JD of the roel). As a result, we saw a significantly higher response rate. Worth giving it a try.
