Talent Acquisition Manager, APJ Region

Francis Chng

"I have had the privilege of working with William and David from Ryze for the past two years. We began with a trial role at Talend, where I quickly saw their exceptional expertise in finding the best talent in Japan.

I have partnered with them at every company I've joined since, and they have consistently delivered outstanding results.

William and David are dependable experts in Japan's talent market. They have earned my trust as valued partners through their high level of professionalism, ethics, and integrity.

What truly sets them apart is their candor. They will decline opportunities they are not confident in, which ensures the right fit for everyone involved.

I wholeheartedly endorse William and David from Ryze. They are trustworthy and dependable partners, and I look forward to our continued collaboration."

Kenji Sugii

Our relationship with Kenji Sugii, Director for the Asia region at Statista Japan, began with our headhunting services. Below are key insights from his client interview.

Why Statista Values Ryze’s Services

Headhunting as a Valuable Tool
"Headhunting is a highly effective way to efficiently reach a wide range of candidates. Ryze’s flexible approach was especially helpful for roles with diverse requirements."

Emphasis on Efficiency
"Partnering with a single, trusted agency for the long term is far more efficient than working with multiple recruiters."

Confidential Recruiting
"For confidential hiring, publicizing a search has drawbacks. Headhunting is the ideal method because it allows for a discreet process that targets only select candidates."

Amine Slimane

"We were looking for Solution Architect candidates with both customer-facing and Data/AI skills to expand our team in Japan. While presales experience was common, we struggled to find individuals with the necessary technical depth. William and the team at Ryze were professional, fast, and reliable, combining expertise in the Data/AI world with a deep understanding of the Japanese candidate market. They quickly presented several candidates who matched our criteria.

The Ryze team fully understood our needs after just one or two calls, allowing us to focus on other important matters while they built a strong candidate pool. I strongly recommend working with Ryze. They were instrumental in supporting our launch in Japan, where hiring the right talent is critical for sustainable growth."

Head of Global Executive Recruitment

"We needed to hire an extraordinary leader in the APJ region on an aggressive timeline. We chose Ryze for their robust network, outstanding reputation, and clear understanding of the leader we required.

Bill and David were excellent partners. When our first candidate accepted but then withdrew, Ryze moved quickly to find us an even stronger one!

I would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking a trusted partner for executive leadership searches in the APJ region."

Talent Acquisition Specialist

"We highly recommend Ryze Consulting as a trusted partner. Their consultants are committed to our hiring needs and consistently deliver quality work.

Our company operates in a niche, lesser-known technology field, which makes attracting specialized technical talent very challenging. Ryze Consulting excels in this environment and has successfully helped us hire top executives.

Their deep understanding of our business and the broader market is crucial. It enables them to represent our company to potential candidates effectively.

We are grateful for your partnership, effort, and understanding."
