During a call to introduce an Accounting role:

Suzuki-san (Candidate):
“The role sounds very attractive, but I’ve just booked my flight to Japan to see my family and will be away for about a month. Given the timing, I suppose it would be difficult to apply, wouldn’t it?”

Recruitment Consultant:
“I see, so the timing coincides with your trip. However, your background fits the company’s requirements perfectly. Let’s explain your situation to the client and see if an application would still be possible.”

Suzuki-san:
“Really? That would be a huge help. I’d appreciate it if you could do that.”

Recruitment Consultant:
“Of course. I’ll make sure to communicate your circumstances clearly and do everything I can to keep this opportunity open for you.”

The company expressed strong interest in Suzuki-san’s background and decided to proceed with the selection process, saying that the matter of her planned leave would be reviewed during the interview stage.
As a result, her experience and personality were highly valued, and the company agreed to make an exception, allowing a one-month trip to Japan even during her probation period.

This case shows that, depending on a candidate’s skills, experience, and personality, it is sometimes possible to negotiate or adjust certain conditions with relative ease.
For employers, this can mean securing the right talent rather than losing them over timing; for candidates, it may open the door to an unexpected career opportunity.

If you have any concerns or circumstances that may affect your application, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with our consultants.
We will suggest the best approach for your situation and support you in achieving the most positive outcome possible.
