OUR PROCESS
We begin with hearing your needs via a discovery call.
Our search process will make the most strategic and effective use of decades of personal network building, AI tools, psychometric assessments, employer branding video, and more.
Research from the consultant McKinsey suggests companies can realise a 40 percent increase in the quality of hires and a 12 percent decrease in first year attrition after they become more thoughtful and data-driven about hiring. At Bold we believe in data.
We tailor our search methods each time to suit your exact needs.

ABOUT US
Jonathan Falconer
(Founder, Managing Partner)
Bold was founded by Asia search veteran, Jonathan Falconer. Over the previous 23 years, he founded and successfully exited two executive search firms. Now it’s time for the third. The Japanese market has changed over the last two decades but in many ways it’s stayed the same – it’s a candidate driven market unlike any other globally. That makes it hard for foreign-capitalized companies to attract and convert the talent needed to survive and thrive in this challenging territory. Bold takes a fresh approach, driven by cutting-edge technology and new, game-changing methods of pre-employment assessment.
