A Bit About Us

Building the future of recruiting

ExecutiveSearch.AI's vision is to apply modern software solutions into recruitment to create the most efficient and successful recruiting business in the world.

We are proud of the company we've built so far, but we are even more excited for what is yet to come. We've just scratched the surface in our home market of Tokyo.

Every person who has joined our company has seen their work hours go down and their pay go up. We do this by automating all the repetitive and low-value aspects of recruiting, such as sending LinkedIn messages.
