CDS Executive provides retained executive search services in Japan for top-tier positions within multinational companies. Working closely with our clients at the most senior levels to understand their particular needs, we apply the CDS Executive search methodology to each assignment: - Thorough market mapping by industry-savvy, bilingual researchers to build an accurate assessment of the availability, suitability, and potential interest of talent. - In-depth, face-to-face interviews with potential candidates where we drill down on how they lead, how they overcome adversity, and what drives them to succeed, as well as their emotional intelligence quotient (EQ). - A proprietary competency-based assessment framework that helps clients identify the required skills and leadership behaviors and benchmark candidates against them. - Detailed reference checking with the candidate's former managers, peers, direct reports, customers, and business partners. CDS Executive is part of RGF – the global arm of Recruit, Japan’s largest recruiting group – giving us wide coverage and candidate access both in Japan and throughout Asia. CDS Executive is an active member of the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC).
