Uniqueness and potential of Japanese, other Asian markets – College Recruiter

Our guest on today’s episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Kaori Kido, the Global Business Development Manager of Kakaku.com’s Kyujin Box Media Planning Dept., better known outside of Japan as Jobcube.

Kyujin Box is one of Japan’s leading job boards / recruitment marketplaces. In Japan, its customers are mostly employers and staffing companies. A couple of years ago, it began to expand into other countries, including Singapore and the United States. In those markets, it operates under the Jobcube brand using an arbitrage, aggregator model by buying and selling candidate traffic with other job boards.

In today’s episode, our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter explore why Kakaku.com decided to expand into other countries, why it chose Singapore and the United States, and how it is different operating in Japan versus those other countries.
