Slate is one of Tokyo’s top-performing Human Capital consultancies for professional and accounting positions. We are known for our ability to determine the appropriate scope of skills and experience needed to go above our clients’ expectations, and successfully source top-tier talent in a timely manner.
We are primarily focused on back-office and multi-discipline consultant searches, and conduct searches in the following areas: finance, accounting, legal and tax professionals; IT, business strategy, advisory and management consulting. We have delivered qualified experts at every level, with a particular focus on mid-to-senior management; from accountants, VPs, and directors–all the way to CFO. Our clients include top-tier international consulting and multinational firms in a wide range of industries.
Our client, a publicly listed blue chip company, runs a Japan organization numbering gnarly 3000 people in the manufacturing and service industry. Due to their headquarters requirement to increase the number of female executives in Japan, they had no suitable candidates to take over from the CFO upon his imminent retirement.
We developed a comprehensive market map of female CONTROLLER/CFO candidates overseeing large corporations in traditional industries in Japan. Through our deep cooperation and tenacious efforts, we were able to help them onboard a candidate that both satisfied their discerning and unique needs as a company, as well as the US parent company’s need to modernize the management philosophy of the company globally.
