Chairman's Message

I have been recruiting in Japan since the end of 1980s and I am still engaged in it today. Accretive Talent for Japan (ATJ), is the third recruiting enterprise I have founded.

Recruiting is my life’s work. Helping people and teams grow to achieve more of their potential and, in doing so, helping them to achieve prosperity never gets old for me. Thus, though I have attempted to retire twice, I am still sitting in an office full of recruiters and a truly wonderful support-team.

We founded the company on the belief that even in these modern times, old fashioned service was still a basis for a good long-term oriented business. We are true search professionals, hunting for the talent our clients require, rather than passively waiting for applicants.

We build enduring relations and engagements with our candidates and clients. This approach applies internally as well; we strive for a collaborative team culture in our company. We believe that in order to be a good company to work with, we must be a good place to work for.

– Paul Levine, Chairman
