The sourcing CRM built for recruiting in Japan.
Global recruitment CRMs were built around LinkedIn and English CVs. In Japan, your candidates are on BizReach and doda X, their employers are registered under Japanese legal names, and the first sign that someone is about to move shows up in Japanese public filings. ChordOne Sourcing reads all of it, and shows it to you in English.

Your ATS was built to store data.
Not to understand Japan.
ChordOne Sourcing is an AI-native candidate CRM, built from the ground up for the Japanese market. Make more placements, faster.
A tool built for London or New York sees "Recruit" on LinkedIn and "リクルートホールディングス" on BizReach as two different companies. It cannot tell you that a candidate's employer has cut its headcount for three months in a row, or what a senior engineer in Tokyo is actually paid. Those are the facts that decide who answers your next message.
ChordOne Sourcing ties every employer to its Japanese legal entity by corporate number, reads Japanese public data every day, and links what changes to the candidates you have saved. The candidates who are about to move rise to the top before anyone else calls them.
What a global CRM cannot see in Japan.
Japanese job boards, one record
The Chrome extension works on BizReach, Recruit Direct Scout, doda X, Wantedly, YOUTRUST and LinkedIn Recruiter. Profiles you save, messages you send and replies you get land on one candidate record, whichever board they came from.
One company, whatever it is called
English, katakana and abbreviated names are matched to the registered legal entity by its 13-digit corporate number (houjin bangou), so "Recruit", "リクルート" and 株式会社リクルートホールディングス share one history.
Signals from Japanese public data
Monthly insured headcount from the Japan Pension Service, EDINET annual securities reports, TDnet timely disclosures and job postings on HRMOS, HERP, Talentio and Wantedly, linked to each candidate's current employer.
Salaries in yen
Estimated salary bands from Japanese job postings, title matches, company medians and the average salary in securities reports, shown next to the profile before you reach out.
Universities, normalized
"University of Tokyo", "Todai" and 東大 become 東京大学, with domestic and world rank bands, so you can filter and compare education across English and Japanese profiles.
Built for Japanese recruiting
Referral to document screening, interviews, offer and start date, with time in stage per client. When the client uses ChordOne ATS, stages come back automatically.
A workspace for decisions, not data entry.
Search the way you talk
"Payments engineer who can negotiate in English." Candidates are ranked by meaning and by a weighted scorecard for the job, with the reason for every match.
Suggestions with sources
Replies, stage changes and employer signals turn into suggested next steps. Every suggestion shows where it came from; you approve or dismiss.
Drafts you finish
Scout messages, follow-ups and referral summaries are drafted from the job and the profile. Facts come only from the record, never invented.

Common questions
Is ChordOne Sourcing available in English?
Yes. The web app and the Chrome extension can be switched to English, Japanese, Simplified or Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French or German. Japanese job board pages stay in Japanese, but the extension panel next to them follows your language.
Which Japanese job boards does the Chrome extension support?
LinkedIn, LinkedIn Recruiter, BizReach, Wantedly and YOUTRUST, plus Recruit Direct Scout, doda X, AMBI, Mynavi Scouting and Eight Career Design. On each profile page it shows the estimated salary band in yen, signals about the current employer and matching jobs, and records the scout messages you send and the replies you receive.
How much does it cost?
It is free, with no limit on candidates, jobs, messages or team members, including the AI drafting, suggestions and natural-language search. A paid Team plan is planned; features available today will not become paid. ChordOne earns its revenue from ChordOne ATS, the applicant tracking system used by hiring companies.
How does it handle Japanese company names?
Every employer is matched to the registered Japanese legal entity using the 13-digit corporate number (houjin bangou). An English name on LinkedIn and a katakana name on BizReach resolve to the same company, so the candidate history and employer signals are kept in one place.
Source in Japan, without the spreadsheet.
Install the Chrome extension and open a BizReach or LinkedIn profile. The people you save become candidates, with their employer, salary band and signals already filled in. Free for one recruiter or a whole team.
