September 1st marks the 10 year anniversary of Apex K.K., an executive search firm located in Tokyo. How has Apex been able to sustain prolonged success in a highly competitive market?
By committing to the company core values: Communication, teamwork, commitment, integrity, adaptability, and people—from day one with 5 employees, to day 3,650 with 70 employees. Of course, the growth and success wouldn’t have been possible without every candidate, client, and employee along the way. For that, we thank you.
Apex Employees
Apex was founded in 2010 by 5 experienced executive recruiters who focused on the healthcare industry, specifically in the Pharmaceutical, Science & Technology, and Medical Device industries. We’ve since grown to 70 employees and 9 industries, attracting top talent from all across the world. Apex employees now span 10 nationalities with equal representation from men and women. Our employee commitment stems from equal opportunities to succeed and a generous reward structure for all achievements. It’s no secret that building a successful company and culture starts from the top-down. In that regard, Apex is fortunate to be led by the same group of founders who started the company back in 2010. Apex employees, for all of your hard work and commitment to success, we thank you.
