On 17 March 2026, we opened Centre People Appointments (Germany) GmbH in Düsseldorf.

For 40 years, Centre People has been supporting the recruitment needs of Japanese companies across Europe, operating from our bases in London and Amsterdam. Our new Düsseldorf office will further strengthen our support in Germany by providing on‑the‑ground services including client visits, candidate interviews, and market analysis.

Centre People are not a company that simply “introduces candidates and ends involvement there.”
We provide end‑to‑end support from recruitment → development → retention, helping organisations build sustainable talent strategies.
In addition, we have a strong track record in assisting with the hiring of non‑Japanese‑speaking specialist professionals who can adapt smoothly to Japanese business practices.

Together with you, we aim to help build organisations in Germany where people can continue to thrive.
