Bridging Global Vision with Local Context.
We are a premier executive search firm dedicated to finding high-impact leaders for the Japanese market. Beyond simply matching resumes, we identify C-level talent with the cultural agility and strategic insight to drive your business forward.
Why YourContext?
Search rooted in strategy, not keywords. We don't just fill vacancies; we solve business problems. We start by deeply understanding your strategic context—whether it's market entry, turnaround, or scaling—to identify leaders who can deliver immediate ROI.
Business Context First
Unlocking the hidden talent market. Top-tier executives are rarely looking for work. Leveraging a high-trust private network, we engage passive candidates who are invisible to standard channels, offering you access to the top 1% of the market.
Access to the "Invisible"
Precision over Volume
Curated precision, engineered for fit. We value your time. Instead of a flood of resumes, we present a calibrated shortlist of fully vetted leaders. We assess not just capability, but cultural nuance and leadership style to ensure long-term retention.

Former EVP of HR & Regional HR Lead at TikTok(ByteDance) with a proven track record of scaling organizations.
"Executive search is not just about filling a vacancy; it’s about finding the missing context."
I founded YourContext to bridge the gap between "External Recruitment" and "Internal HR Strategy." Having served as an EVP of People & Organization at a Deep Tech startup and a Regional HR Lead at a global giant, I understand that a resume match does not equal a business fit. I personally oversee every mandate, ensuring that the candidate aligns not just with the job description, but with your company's growth stage and cultural nuances.
