I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Robert Walters (Tokyo) in Nov 2018
Interview
I have had many interviews with similar firms but this was by far the longest process. First had a phone call and then I ended up having interviews with about 15 of their staff members, each lasting around 20-30 minutes, some were longer than that and some were shorter.
Very friendly process, 2 directors did a role play to test my personality fit and how quickly I think on my feet in unfavorable situations. I waited for about a week to get a response and then I got my offer.
connected on LinkedIn and had first casual conversation face to face with HR leader at a nice Cafe. Very professional straightforward. explained details about teams and structure and asked many questions in terms of motivation and future career plans.
This is a sales position so just emphasize that you are goal oriented and can reach those KPIs. Also you have to be good with people and organized, so highlighting examples of this would be good.
