Robin has consistently referred strong candidates to us at both the partner and associate level. He is courteous in following up, and is not too aggressive in trying to create a deal where there isn't one or in putting words into the mouths of either employers or candidates.
—General Counsel, US Multinational

I have thoroughly enjoyed your sensible and efficient approach. In addition, I found that you really listened to the feedback we provided and took this into account for the future—this did set you aside from other legal recruiters whom I have met in Tokyo.
—VP of Legal, Global Entertainment Company

The depth of Robin's understanding of the Tokyo market is unparalleled. He's without a doubt the go-to recruiter for our placement needs as he is always able to come up with attractive candidates at every level. Much more than a mere matchmaker, he is able to provide the insight needed to close the deal. Impressive!
