Client profile

A multinational building product and engineering capability in Japan.

Business challenge

The company needed a complete Japan R&D team across scarce technical roles while balancing local communication and global collaboration.

What we delivered

TAC defined the target organisation and hiring sequence, then delivered talent mapping, targeted search and recruitment coordination for a technology lead, architect, frontend and backend engineers.

Delivery method

Align business outcomes

Clarify growth, market-entry or delivery objectives before translating them into organisation and role priorities.

02

Map the talent market

Build target-company and candidate maps by sector, technology, location and talent movement to test actual supply.

03

Target and assess

Run confidential outreach around real business scenarios, assessing expertise, communication and organisation fit together.

04

Accelerate decisions

Shorten feedback and decision paths while coordinating interviews, offers and post-join role integration.

Delivery outcome

The engagement established a practical team framework from technology leadership through engineering delivery, creating a local talent base for continued R&D work in Japan.

Organisation impact

The objective went beyond filling roles: TAC connected role design, market intelligence, decision speed and team collaboration to build organisation capability that could continue supporting the business.
