Success Story: How to find a first-on-the-ground Solutions Architect for a Meeting & Collaboration solutions startup in Japan
If you’re familiar with hiring in APAC and Japan, you know that finding bilingual tech talent is tough, especially if you’re new in the market. One of our clients, a Meeting & Collaboration solutions startup, experienced that firsthand when they were looking for a Solutions Architect with strong industry experience, outstanding technical sales skills and an international mindset – a lot to ask for a no-name brand in Japan.
But we solved the puzzle anyways! Here’s how:
1. Market Mapping: A project team of 3 – a lead consultant and 2 researchers – mapped the client’s talent market and identified over 200 prospects that could fit the bill.
2. Pres-screening: Through thorough screening against the client’s criteria we presented a selection of 10 qualified profiles.
3. Stakeholder Management: By closely consulting with the client on business needs as well as market realities we could bridge the expectation gap between HQ and the Japan entity.
4. Employer Branding: We created a compelling story focusing on the great potential of the client’s product mix to attract candidates to an otherwise unknown brand.
After only 2 months of search, the client onboarded their preferred candidate – a reputable industry-veteran who checked all boxes including an extensive network into Japan’s top ISPs. The client was so satisfied with the process and result that they have continued to rely on us to further build their Japan team.

Our Clients








Client Voices
Rather than just throwing resumes at us as many recruiters do, they have taken the time to understand our business model, our market and our vision to ensure the right fit with candidates. The result has been an extremely efficient and smooth evaluation and hiring process.
– Senior Director of Sales, VMWare
As difficult as it is to find key talent in Asia, it is essential to use the right partner to conduct and drive searches. Boyd & Moore has never failed to deliver the right candidates at the right time and have ensured we continue to build a strong team.
– VP Service Provider Sales, Symantec
BMES takes an active headhunting approach to executive search, meaning they are constantly cold calling new talent and effectively building a map of the market, rather than relying on the typical, limited “old industry friends and extensive network of contacts” to source talent.
