Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of hireinjapan.com (“Hire in Japan,” the “Service”), operated by Sekaichi Inc. By using the Service — browsing listings, posting a job, applying to one, or submitting a company claim — you agree to these terms.

The Service

Hire in Japan is a job board and hiring-intelligence platform connecting international companies building their business in Japan with candidates. Standard job listings are free to post. Some services — such as featured listings or hands-on hiring support — are separate, paid engagements agreed to directly with our team, not covered by these general terms.

Job listings

Employers are responsible for the accuracy of the job listings they submit, and for complying with applicable employment and labor laws in the jurisdictions where they hire. Hire in Japan reviews listings before publication but does not independently verify every claim made in a posting. Some listings are sourced from a company's own public careers page or job board, with attribution and a link back to the original posting, rather than submitted directly by the employer; a company associated with such a listing may claim its profile to have it managed directly. Listings that appear fraudulent, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate may be rejected, edited for accuracy, or removed at our discretion.

Company claims

Claiming a company profile is a request, not an automatic grant — we review each claim before approving it, and may ask for further verification of your affiliation with the company. We may reject a claim we cannot reasonably verify.

Applications

Hire in Japan facilitates the introduction between candidates and employers but is not a party to, and does not guarantee the outcome of, any resulting interview, offer, or employment relationship. We do not guarantee that any application will be reviewed or responded to by an employer.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Post a job listing, company profile, or application that is fraudulent, misleading, or not genuinely intended to hire or seek employment;
• Post content that is discriminatory, unlawful, or infringes another party's rights;
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Service other than through the sitemap and pages intended for normal browsing and indexing;
• Attempt to circumvent our spam-prevention, security, or access controls; or
• Submit a company claim you are not genuinely authorized to make.

We may suspend or remove access, listings, or accounts that violate these terms.

Intellectual property

The Hire in Japan name, branding, and site design belong to Sekaichi Inc. Content you submit (job listings, company information, applications) remains yours, but you grant us a license to display it on the Service for its intended purpose.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that any job listing is currently open, that any candidate is qualified, or that using the Service will result in a successful hire or job placement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sekaichi Inc. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including hiring decisions made based on information found here.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Service evolves. We will update the “Last updated” date above when we do. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
