What (株)ジェイエイシーリクルートメント does

JAC Group ((株)ジェイエイシーリクルートメント) is a specialist recruitment consultancy founded in the United Kingdom in 1975 and now operating across 12 countries with 36 offices. The firm targets mid-to-high class professionals — executive, management, specialist, and technical talent — and is organized around 250+ specialized consultant teams segmented by industry, job function, and geography, with consistent service quality promised across all global locations.

The business operates through ten differentiated service brands: five recruitment brands addressing distinct talent segments (JAC Recruitment for mid/high-class management and global talent; JAC Executive for C-suite and board; JAC Digital for DX, CDO/CIO, engineers, and marketers; JAC Career for highly specialized 20-somethings; JAC International for bilingual specialists) and five supporting services (JAC RPO for recruitment process outsourcing in Japan; JAC Interim Professional Solutions for fixed-term contract staffing; JAC Consulting for Japanese firms entering Indonesia; JAC Outsourcing for back-office and business-proxy services in Indonesia; and Career Cross as a global self-serve job platform). Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on placements — both retained executive search and contingency recruitment — supplemented by professional-services fees from RPO engagements and marketplace commissions on Career Cross. Go-to-market is enterprise and mid-market field sales, delivered through relationship-based consulting rather than self-service channels.

The company appears to operate as a private, independent entity with no disclosed parent company, acquisitions, or funding rounds in the input data. Strategic activity in 2026 includes the opening of an Amsterdam office (12th country), an Osaka branch under JAC International, publication of an Integrated Report, and Kurumin Plus certification from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Customer logos, headcount, and revenue figures are not disclosed in the provided material.
