People search for Japan · inside your AI chat
Find the right people in Japan by describing them
AI-Recruit plugs into ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor. Type who you're looking for in plain English — a candidate to hire, or a decision-maker to pitch — and get a pre-vetted shortlist of Japan-based professionals in seconds.
How it works
Three steps. No new tool to learn.
If you can write a message, you can use AI-Recruit. It runs inside the AI chat you already have open.
Describe who you need
In your own words, in your normal chat. No filters, no boolean strings, no search syntax.
Hiring example"Senior backend engineer in Tokyo, fintech experience, business-level English"
Bizdev example"Heads of partnerships at Japanese real-estate companies"
AI finds the matches
AI-Recruit searches a pre-vetted pool of Japan-based professionals and returns a shortlist — with roles, backgrounds, and Japanese / English levels for each person.
Then keep refining in the same conversation: "only people at companies under 200 employees" — done.
Reach out
Take the shortlist and contact the people who fit. Ask your AI to draft the outreach message while you're at it — it already knows exactly who it found and why they match.
Who it's for
One connector, two jobs

For business development & founders
Find the person who can say yes
- Find decision-makers to pitch — by role, industry, and company size

Case study · xMap
“It was almost too easy. We described what we needed and the right person appeared.”
Mathieu, 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.

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 "heads of partnerships at Japanese real-estate companies." AI-Recruit returns a pre-vetted shortlist of matching people 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 search credits per month with full MCP connector access, and you can sign up without a credit card. Paid plans start at $25/month (Lite, 250 credits) and $75/month (Standard, 1,000 credits) 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.
