About Valar Partners

Valar Partners is a bilingual executive search firm based in Tokyo, working with foreign companies hiring senior talent in Japan. We take on a limited number of clients at any given time, run every search personally, and stay involved through onboarding. No junior handoffs. No recycled candidate lists. No silence between updates. Every search starts with current market data, not assumptions. We built Valar Intelligence to track the bilingual Tokyo talent landscape in real time — across 1,700+ companies, 2,300+ active roles, and 5,400+ market signals — so calibration is sharper, shortlists arrive faster, and decisions are grounded in evidence. We work best with foreign companies hiring bilingual professionals for the senior roles that shape the direction of their business in Japan.
