About

A selective partner for the hires that matter.

Black Point exists for one reason: to help global companies hire well in Japan. Not faster. Not cheaper. Better.

Philosophy

The best people are rarely the most available. They take time to find, time to engage, and judgement to assess. That work doesn't scale — and we don't try to make it.

We take on a small number of mandates so we can do them well. Clients return because the calibre of work is consistent. Candidates trust us because we treat their careers with the seriousness they deserve.

Principles

01

Precision

Searches run with rigour. Every introduction has a reason behind it.

02

Trust

Confidential, candid, and consistent — across years and engagements.

03

Selective engagement

We only take work we can deliver exceptionally well. That discipline is the product.

Where we sit

Between global companies and the Japan market — fluent in both, loyal to neither convention.

Global hiring leaders need partners who understand how decisions are actually made in Japan. Japanese candidates need partners who can credibly represent global employers. We do both — and the translation work in between is where we add the most value.

We'd be glad to talk.
