The MLC Group

The MLC Group is a privately held recruitment company operating in the staffing and human resources industry. We were founded in 2014 and are headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

We provide retained and contingent recruiting services in addition to recruitment consulting. We support hiring for mid-career level positions across major functions and up to senior management and country head. Our clients are multinational companies that are new to Japan or already well established, and they operate across industries including automotive, healthcare, IT, finance and accounting, human resources, and professional services.

We help clients achieve their goals, and the candidates we place perform in core roles that influence our clients' success. We use systems and processes to mitigate the risk of hiring the wrong person. We apply the same approach with candidates to ensure they join the right companies. We rigorously challenge candidates to ensure their career decisions are objective and meet their life goals, thus committing to the process for both candidates and clients.

We work with multinational companies in Japan, including those that are new to the market and those that are already well established.

This approach has contributed to a number of success stories and provides a foundation for continued growth.
