We take recruitment beyond making
placements; we develop careers.

Robert Leonard Consulting (RLC) is a leading Tokyo-based executive search and recruitment firm. Our clients range from top Fortune 500 companies to start-up ventures.  We work on both retained and contingent searches focusing on bilingual mid-level manager positions to APAC/Japan country manager searches.

A company is only as good as the sum of its resources, and human resources are the most important factor in driving a company's success. At Robert Leonard Consulting we are guided by our principle belief that our clients' and candidates’ success is central to our own future and continued success.
Our philosophy is to build long-term relationships based on a foundation of sound ethics, honesty, unparalleled service, teamwork and traditional hard work.

Our approach is both innovative and flexible. We have designed the company to attract and retain the best industry consultants. Moreover, our strong corporate ethos ensures quality of service to our clients, and continued good relationships with our candidates.

At RLC, all of our consultants have extensive recruiting and industry-specific experience. RLC consultants consistently identify, meet, and interview the leading bilingual professional in the marketplace on a daily basis. We do not simply rely on our database, internet job boards, or candidate referrals. We believe in the traditional executive search methodology of reaching out to and approaching the leading professionals in the marketplace and not just active job seekers.

For each candidate whom we introduce to our clients, we first meet in person and assess their qualifications to each specific client position, their strengths/weaknesses, linguistic capabilities, career growth potential, and their personality and chemistry to ensure that they will fit well with the client’s organization.
