TOKYO, Japan (March 4, 2011) - Tokyo-based recruitment firm Wahl & Case has announced an innovative new fee agreement designed to mitigate clients’ risk when hiring. Trademarked as the “Anshin Contract”, the structure pushes the typical three-month refund/replacement clause standard in Tokyo to a six-month, 100% guarantee. The move reflects another step in Wahl & Case’s bid to drive higher-quality service into the Japan recruitment market.

Wahl & Case managing director Casey Wahl explains that the contract structure is designed to make clients feel more comfortable when working with an outside recruitment firm. Firms need to demonstrate ROI after the outlay of recruitment fees, which can sometimes run more than US$100,000 (¥10 million). “We’re very confident our consultants have the business nous to accurately identify, screen, and introduce top talent to our clients--but inevitably every once in a while a placement doesn’t work out. We’re committed to supporting our clients over the longer term, and this new structure really backs up our word and cuts their risk.”

Recruitment contracts in Tokyo typically have a standard guarantee of three months /50%--so if a placed candidate quits the job within three months, the recruitment firm will provide a free replacement or refund of 50%. The Wahl & Case “Anshin Contract” upends this least common denominator consensus with a new level of commitment, offering a 100% fee reimbursement or replacement search if a candidate leaves for any reason within six months of joining. The service includes thorough references and third-party background checks.

Initial adoption of the “Anshin Contract” is proceeding relatively quickly, with a majority of Wahl & Case clients expressing interest in the service for some or all searches. While pricing of the new plan remains confidential, a number of human resource professionals contacted off the record indicated that any promise of higher quality backed by a written obligation would be welcome as the talent wars begin to flare up again across the market.
