What is NINJA (Next in Japan / ニンジャ)?

NINJA is a career and job information site designed for foreigners working in Japan.
The name "NINJA" comes from the initials of "Next in Japan," representing our hope that people with diverse backgrounds will drive innovation in Japan and help shape its next generation.
At NINJA, we feature job listings that allow you to:
・Make use of your language skills
・Serve as a bridge between Japan and your home country
・Apply your technical expertise
・Contribute uniquely as a foreign professional
Most of the jobs fall under visa categories such as Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services and Highly Skilled Professional.
None of the job listings on NINJA will reject you just because you're a foreigner.
This is the perfect site for those who want to grow their careers or change jobs by leveraging their global perspective and flexible mindset cultivated abroad.
※As of the end of July 2024

At NINJA, there are two types of job listings:
1. Direct employment by companies
(You will communicate directly with the hiring company.)
2. Jobs through recruitment agencies
(The recruitment agency acts as an intermediary during the selection process.)
With Type 1: Direct employment, you can convey your passion directly to the employer, which often leads to a faster application and selection process.
With Type 2: Recruitment agency jobs, you’ll receive professional advice from a recruitment consultant—such as how to write your resume and prepare for interviews—while applying only to jobs where you have a high chance of being selected.

3 Reliable & Convenient Features of NINJA

1. Instantly Create a Japanese-Style Resume and CV

In Japan, job hunting typically requires a Japanese-style resume and career history document.
If you submit the résumé you used in your home country, most employers will ask you to rewrite it in Japanese format.
With NINJA, you can generate both documents with just one click.

2. Block Companies You Don’t Want to View Your Profile

When you register on NINJA, non-personal information—such as nationality, gender, education, skills, work history, and job preferences—will be visible to companies that post jobs.
If there are specific companies (like your current employer) that you don’t want to know about your job search, you can block them from viewing your profile.

3. “Favorite” a Job to Express Interest to Employers

Clicking the “Favorite” button shows the company that you're interested in their job posting—anonymously.
If your anonymous profile matches their hiring criteria, the recruiter may contact you with a “We welcome your application” message or a scout invitation.
If a job even slightly interests you, press “Favorite” to increase your chances!

4. Upload Your Residence Card to Speed Up the Process

During member registration, you have the option to upload your residence card.
This information is only visible to the NINJA admin team, not to hiring companies. After verifying your residence status on the Immigration Services Agency’s website, the image is promptly deleted.
Once verified, a “Verified” badge will appear on your profile, making employers feel more secure and helping your application move more smoothly.

Now, take the first step—register with NINJA and start your new journey!
