    Synspective has been growing steadily in the past few years and JapanDev has been a wonderful partner in this growth.

    Thanks to JapanDev, we have been able to expand our horizons and find talented engineers overseas that became key members of our organization.

    The proactive and efficient support that JapanDev provides, makes them a fantastic partner for Japanese companies that want to grow and expand while enriching their company culture with top global talent!

    With English as our official internal language, it was essential that our recruitment platform met global standards.

    Japan Dev was a perfect match for our hiring needs, especially since this is where talented engineers from around the world are gathered. We saw a significant increase in our applications from experienced engineers after posting on Japan Dev.

    Furthermore, by integrating Japan Dev with our existing ATS, we were able to manage and screen candidates incredibly efficiently. We successfully hired a truly outstanding engineer in just a month and a half!

    For any company aiming to build an English-centric development team, I wholeheartedly recommend using Japan Dev!

    Posting on Japan Dev has been a fast and effective way for us to achieve our hiring goals!

    We are especially impressed by the hiring results, both in quality and quantity. In a short time, we were able to quickly hire four highly skilled engineers who were eager to contribute to our team from day one.

    These engineers not only have strong technical skills, but also bring high motivation and a genuine commitment. With them on board, we're excited to keep leveling up our organization.

    For any company looking to hire high quality candidates, we highly recommend Japan Dev!

    Japan Dev has been a low-maintenance and efficient platform for us!

    Their extensive and highly targeted pool of software developers has continued to deliver qualified leads. It has also been more cost-effective than using generic job boards or working with recruiting agencies. Additionally, we appreciate Japan Dev's bi-weekly newsletter advertisements, which have enhanced our company's exposure and boosted the visibility of our job openings. The team is also always responsive and supportive!

    As a Japanese company with English as the internal language, Japan Dev has contributed to our hiring process, supporting us in recruiting both international and domestic English-speaking engineers. A significant number of candidates from Japan Dev either reside in Japan or are open to relocation, which aligns with our primary hiring requirements.

    Thanks to Japan Dev's support, we have successfully hired mid-senior-level frontend and backend candidates and interns for our global internship program. Additionally, we've filled other IT positions with bilingual candidates residing in Japan through the platform.

    Japan Dev is an extremely user-friendly service for companies looking to hire talented engineers from overseas.

    The platform is built very efficiently for its purpose. For example, some hiring companies use American ATS systems to manage applications. With Japan Dev, posting a job is as simple as uploading a URL—there's no need to reformat the job description to match a template. Applicants are also registered directly into our ATS, which makes the process much easier for us.

    Unlike other international job platforms, engineers applying through Japan Dev are highly motivated to work in Japan. This reduces mismatches, lowers the workload required for hiring, and improves the hiring success rate.

    In our case, we've been able to hire engineers through Japan Dev who graduated from top universities around the world or who have experience at major global tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Alibaba. At this point, Japan Dev has become an indispensable partner in our recruitment activities.

    The most significant change we have noticed since using Japan Dev is that we now receive a steady flow of applications from foreign engineers.

    Japan Dev has helped create a natural application funnel, making candidate pool building much smoother.

    In addition, we feel that Japan Dev is an effective recruitment channel, as it attracts candidates from a different segment compared to other channels.

    We also have the impression that our company's visibility within the engineering community is steadily increasing. Thank you as always.

    Japan Dev has helped us to hire 60% of our initial engineering team via Japan Dev.

    Initially, we had no full time engineers on the team but we were able to quickly make 3 key hires since posting. The candidates we were able to hire were highly talented and have continued to be outstanding performers since hiring.

    Without the Japan Dev platform, we wouldn't have been able to make it through the early stages of building our product.

    I highly recommend other startups to utilize the platform, especially if you are looking to scale with outstanding international talent.

    We were amazed to see so many people interested in working in Japan. The number of applicants exceeded our expectations, and we successfully hired five people within our first year on the platform. Japan Dev has helped us find diverse talent from inside Japan as well as from overseas.

    Japan Dev has become an indispensable partner in our global engineering recruitment. We look forward to helping even more people thrive in Japan through our continued collaboration with Japan Dev.

    Japan Dev is a highly reliable partner that genuinely considered recruitment needs from our company’s perspective and suggested effective strategies to reach skilled applicants who will excel within our company.

    Japan Dev’s blog also offers comprehensive information about working and living in Japan. Their blog is geared towards job seekers, and that is another reason we recommend Japan Dev as a recruitment tool.

    Posting jobs on Japan Dev has given us a major hiring boost.

    We've already hired 5 people through the platform. This has helped us build a more international team.

    One thing we love about Japan Dev is that we can post roles for designers and other positions along with engineering roles. Plus their job import tool makes it super convenient and quick to post new jobs.

    Many people around the world want to work in Japan. And we strongly recommend that any globally-minded company with a welcoming environment for foreigners post their jobs on Japan Dev!

    Japan Dev is a great tool to hire highly qualified tech talent. We’ve already made our first successful hire.

    It’s more than just a job board for us. Japan Dev team has been very collaborative and supportive in different communications.

    Our experience with Japan Dev has been very positive. We received many applications from skilled developers based both in Japan and abroad. Through Japan Dev, we were able to hire someone who embodies what we value at Wantedly.

    Japan Dev sets itself apart by being considerate of both the company and the engineer's needs, and I appreciate being able to showcase other details about our company alongside the job description. The people at Japan Dev are always friendly and helpful, making it a great hiring experience overall.

    Thanks to posting our jobs on Japan Dev we successfully hired a skilled bilingual candidate!

    We identified with their goal of helping global IT professionals match with companies that matched their values, so we wanted to share our company profile on the platform. This was super easy thanks to their thorough support in creating job posts, translating and more.

    They helped us clearly communicating the appeal of working at Cocone through our company profile, which was extremely effective company branding for us!

    Japan Dev is a platform for recruiting highly skilled people with an international perspective. We've made successful hires for both engineering and non-engineering positions.

    We were struggling to find good candidates for a non-technical position.

    Although JapanDev is strong in the technical positions in the IT industry, we asked if they have any good solutions for the position. She was willing to help us, and we made our first successful hire in a 2 months of initial post!

    JapanDev is not just a job listing site but rather a place where you can engage your potential candidates to understand your company's culture and work. A lot of thought has been given on our landing page, helping to attract serious candidates.

    In the past we have received diverse applications from JapanDev for both technical as well as non-technical positions.
