Vedior launches new construction recruitment company in Japan

Vedior is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative providing qualified construction personnel on a temporary basis in partnership with Frontier Construction & Partners Co. Limited (ìFrontierî), a company specialised in providing advisory and consulting services to the Japanese construction industry.

Based in Tokyo, Vedior Contec will provide senior engineering personnel on a contract basis for construction projects initially in the Tokyo Metropolitan area but eventually in other parts of Japan and abroad. The company will also provide training and support to enhance the skills of its workforce by gaining additional qualifications through the Japanese National Construction Industry Training Association.

Zach Miles, Vediorís Chief Executive said, ìVedior has a growing presence in the professional/executive recruitment sector in Japan and this new initiative announced today represents another step in our plans to develop our services within this fast-growing market. As the worldís largest provider of professional/executive recruitment, we are ideally placed to take advantage of growth opportunities in one of the most important recruitment markets in Asia.î

Vedior owns 51% of Vedior Contec with the remaining shares held by Frontier and local management. Frontier had already established a contract recruitment business to respond to the demands of its clients, and this has now been transferred to Vedior Contec to accelerate its development .
The Japanese staffing market offers significant growth opportunities led by increasing deregulation, ongoing industry restructuring, compelling demographic trends and an improving economy.

Vedior already provides recruitment services in Japan in the healthcare sector under the brand Supernurse, outplacement and career management services under the brand Fairplace Japan and, more recently, permanent placement services under the brand Vedior Career.
