Season 5 | Ep 12 - Alex Zoboli on building one of the fastest growing agencies in Japan reaching 40+ staff in the last 2 years with 100% of the team being in the office!

The RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth Podcast

Our first episode of 2022 and what a cracker to be kicking off with!

I was delighted to be joined by Alex Zoboli, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Cornerstone Recruitment Japan K.K.

Alex and his business partner scaled their previous recruitment business in Japan from 20 to 200 people and opened their own business only 2 years ago.

Already 40 people and looking to grow again to 200 as fast as possible!

It was super exciting to find out more about his story to date, secrets to success and plans moving forward.

One thing I really respected about Alex was his conviction in the strategy behind HOW his team operates post pandemic. He has a team 100% in the office and will not allow remote working unless the government says otherwise.

He believes this is a huge opportunity to build culture and get ahead of the competition. You may choose to agree or disagree but I love the confidence and direction he displayed.

If you would like to chat to Alex directly either to enquire about joining his team or to pick his brains on all things start up life then reach out via LinkedIn here.

Please note in 2022 we will be live on LinkedIn each Wednesday NOT Thursdays like in 2021 - this will typically be at 12pm UK time but is subject to change!
