Candidate sourcing · Japan · inside your AI chat
Describe your ideal candidate. Get a Japan shortlist in seconds.
AI-Recruit works inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor. Tell it the role, the skills, and the Japanese level you need — get back a pre-vetted shortlist of Japan-based candidates. No boolean strings. No new platform.
How it works
Three steps. No new tool to learn.
If you can write an intake note, you can source with AI-Recruit. It runs inside the AI chat you already have open.
Describe the candidate
In your own words — the way the hiring manager described them to you. No filters, no boolean, no search syntax.
Try this"Senior backend engineer in Tokyo, fintech experience, business-level English"
Get the shortlist
AI-Recruit searches a pre-vetted pool of Japan-based professionals and returns matches — with roles, backgrounds, and Japanese / English levels for each person.
Keep refining in the same conversation: "only people at companies under 200 employees" — done.
Reach out
Contact the candidates who fit. Ask your AI to draft the outreach message while you're at it — it already knows who it found and why they match.
Built for Japan hiring
The filters that actually matter here
Language levels, solved
Japanese and English proficiency are the make-or-break filters in Japan hiring — and the hardest to search anywhere else. Here they're first-class: ask for "JP native, EN business" and that's what you get.
Hours of sourcing → one message
The time between "we need someone" and a warm shortlist drops from an afternoon of manual searching to the length of one chat message. Refine as many times as you like — it's a conversation.
Inside the tools you already use
No new platform, no seat licenses, no tab-switching. If your team uses ChatGPT or Claude, they already know how to use AI-Recruit.
Case study · xMap
“It was almost too easy. We described what we needed and the right person appeared.”
Mo Batran, CEO of xMap — real-estate intelligence, Japan & global
xMap needed an Enterprise Partnerships hire in Japan — a search that normally takes weeks through agencies. They described the role in chat instead.

Not hiring? Selling?
The same search finds your next client
Business development teams use the exact same connector to work the other side of the market:
- Find decision-makers to pitch — by role, industry, and company size
- Qualify leads before reaching out: who they are, what they own, where they've worked
- Understand who does what inside a target company before your first meeting

FAQ
Questions, answered
What can I search with AI-Recruit?
You can search Japan-based professionals by describing them in plain English — role, skills, industry, seniority, location, and language ability (Japanese and English levels). For example: "bilingual enterprise sales people in Tokyo with SaaS experience" or "senior backend engineers open to new roles." AI-Recruit returns a pre-vetted shortlist of matching candidates directly inside your AI chat tool.
Which AI tools does it work with?
AI-Recruit works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor — and any other AI tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors. You add it once as a connector, then search by typing normal messages in your chat. Setup takes about two minutes; there's a step-by-step guide for each tool.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The Free plan includes 50 searches per month with full MCP connector access, and you can sign up without a credit card. Paid plans start at $25/month (Lite, 250 searches) and $75/month (Standard, 1,000 searches) when you need more volume.
How is this different from LinkedIn Recruiter?
Three ways. First, no boolean search strings — you describe who you need in plain English and the AI interprets it, including Japanese and English language levels, which are hard to filter on LinkedIn. Second, it works inside tools you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor), so there's no separate platform to learn. Third, it's focused on Japan: the talent pool is pre-vetted and Japan-based, and pricing starts free instead of enterprise contracts.
Can I use it for sales prospecting?
Yes. Alongside hiring, AI-Recruit is used to find decision-makers to pitch, qualify leads, and research who does what inside Japanese companies. For example: "heads of procurement at Japanese manufacturing companies with 500+ employees" — and you get named people with roles and backgrounds, all inside your AI chat.
