Asia
Bernie has over 17 years of experience in global recruitment, having worked in the UK, Europe and, most notably, Asia. In 2001 Bernie relocated from London to Tokyo to establish a recruitment agency called James Harvard International. James Harvard International grew to become the largest and most respected IT/Finance recruitment company in Japan. As the first foreign company to launch a successful RPO business in Japan, James Harvard were the pioneers of a previously unfamiliar concept in the Japanese recruitment industry.
In February 2007, Bernie sold the James Harvard International Japanese business to global recruitment giants Hays PLC. Bernie successfully completed his earn-out in December 2009 as Managing Director of Hays Japan.
Throughout his years as a recruitment industry leader in Japan, Bernie recognised the need for a simple applicant tracking system. He knew, first-hand , that it was time for a system that was intuitive and tailored to the needs of users in Asia. Post earn-out, Bernie began working on his next project in earnest... and after a great deal of design, development and sweat...HiringBoss has arrived.
