Fill the role.
Keep the fee.
Every placement an agency makes for you costs a large slice of first-year salary. Headhunt.AI gives your own team the reach that fee was buying — 4M+ Japan-focused profiles, scored against your JD in minutes — and your ATS stays exactly where it is.
When do agency fees stop making sense?
It depends on how many roles you fill a year and what each fee costs you. Past a surprisingly low number of placements, the fees for one year exceed the cost of running your own sourcing — recruiter time included. We've published the working so you can put your own numbers in: in-house TA vs. agency spend in Japan.
About your ATS
Three things, plainly.
Your data stays yours
ATS records you bring in are stored for your organization alone and never pooled into the shared database. That's how the system is built — it's verifiable, not a promise.
It keeps working today
Headhunt.AI runs alongside whatever you use now. Everything exports — every field, both scout mails — so your ATS stays the system of record.
Connectors are coming
Direct connectors for Salesforce, HRMOS, Talentio, HERP, SmartHR and Workday are on the roadmap. Until then, inside an engagement we can handle ATS ingestion for you.
APPI-safe by design
Candidate data handling is built around Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information, and the paper trail is public. The details — licensed data posture, subprocessors, verification — are on the trust page.
You do three things. Everything after that happens for you.
