About

Cormorant Group K.K. is an executive search consultancy specializing in senior search for positions based in Japan and the Asia Pacific. We work across disciplines and have special expertise in communications, design, transformation, and other creative disciplines.

We work with diverse corporate interests including communications and design agencies, management consultancy, luxury, PE/VC, pharma, manufacturing, and technology.

Difference

We only work on a handful of assignments at any given time to ensure focus and quality of service to clients and candidates alike. Cormorant Group is structured more like an intelligence network than a traditional consultancy and the majority of our candidates come to us via referral from our proprietary network.

We work closely with our clients to help them define and refine their talent acquisition strategies inclusive of clarifying their real needs
We give candidates careful support to help them define their professional goals, target the right opportunities and prepare for interviews
We follow up with our clients and candidates after a placement to help ensure long-term success for both parties

Geographical Focus

Cormorant Group is based in Tokyo and the majority of our business focuses on the Japanese market. We do, however, work on briefs for senior positions based in Singapore and Hong Kong.
