Purpose
Link Japan Careers is set up to provide comprehensive services as an all-in one-business and provide international professionals with a worry-free environment within which they can excel.
Through our concept of “Cross-Cultural Design” we help resolve the challenges globalization poses for staffing, on-boarding and supporting international professionals in each of these areas.
As the first company to use “Cross-Cultural Design,” Link Japan Careers aims to support global professionals. They can count on working with LJC to facilitate smooth communication with professional support to take their careers to the next level overall.
Cross-Cultural Design
There is a lot of discussion about cross-cultural affairs, but in modern-day Japan, the main issue is an issue of “access.” There are limitations in place on immigration, daily life, and employment, which are causing the basic needs of Japanese society to go unmet. For the global professional who is living in Japan or considering Japan as a place where they’d like to live and work, the issues of entry into the labor market and daily living conditions are all “accessibility” issues at the root. For that reason, LJC defines Cross-Cultural Design (CCD) by the practices and techniques that provide accessibility to global professionals and bridge the existing gaps in work and life in Japan.
Our Vision
We at Link Japan Careers think that it is necessary to provide supporting structures that allow international professionals to work and live comfortably in Japan. We help them develop insight into Japanese culture and lifestyle habits and, at the same time, leveraging the differences between Japan and their own country as strengths.
Core Values:
“Through Cross-Cultural Design, we will achieve a more meaningful society by offering a fully comprehensive range of services to organizations and individuals.”

Link Japan Careers (LJC) was spun off from Interac’s recruiting division in April 2017 in order to expand Interac’s substantial recruiting expertise into new markets. In addition to providing recruiting services, LJC also provides life-support services for foreign nationals living and working in Japan. These services include housing support, mobile phone rental, and automobile leasing. Link Japan Careers is represented globally with offices and affiliates in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, and the Philippines. LJC regularly conducts seminars as part of its recruiting efforts for Interac, providing applicants with a face-to-face opportunity to learn more about living and working in Japan.
