A range of recruitment services and staffing solutions
Founded in 2016, Spotted K.K. operates the permanent recruitment brands Spotted Recruit and Spotted Executive, and is the parent company of the contract recruitment firm, Spotted Staffing K.K.

The leadership team and the consultants who work at Spotted make it a priority to understand each client’s specific needs, develop close relationships with those we work with, and fill every position with the best people.
“It is our promise that the entire experience — from first meeting through to accepting an offer, and beyond — will be supportive, transparent, and positive.”
