At EyeRecruit, our company culture is directly responsible for our current and future successful performance. At our foundation, there are seven principles that serve as our Core Values. These have been adapted in no small part from the Code of Bushido. These core values transcend all else and reflect the ethos or our company.
Our company was forged from the years of service within our industry, and it remains a constant as we continue our service to our industry. It is said that when that a promise to perform an action is given, it is as good as done. There is no reason to give a verbal “promise.” Verbally making a promise would be redundant. The action of speaking alone has set the act of doing in motion. Speaking and doing are the same action.
The 7 Crucial Codes
-
1. Honesty, Discretion & Integrity at all times (Makoto)
Confidential treatment of information is vital, especially in the industry we represent. For seekers it means a clear understanding of the company’s culture, the position to be filled. For the Employer it means that the positional, reporting, compensation requirements are clearly expressed.
The ability to successfully introduce a worthy Job Seeker and a quality Employer revolve, in no small part, around this code. The final integration creates synergy for both Seeker & Employer during the initial days, weeks and even months.

2. Performance is Critical & Compassion is Vital (Jin)
However you phrase it, our “reason for being” is to find talent and introduce them to quality companies in a very specific market. Only when this is accomplished, Job Seekers can realize their career aspirations and Employers can reach the pinnacle of professional heights. We are only successful when you are.
To tie our success to yours, we guarantee that if the chosen candidate leaves within a prescribed period of time, the candidate will be replaced at no additional fee to the Employer. Performance is our measuring stick, and it reflects on the merits of each individual’s contribution from the candidate to the recruiter. If a candidate falls below your expectations, they fall below ours.

3. Courage to strive to exceed – not just meet – expectations (Yu)
Our goal with every interaction is to have people receive what they may not have expected. Sometimes making a hard choice requires a great deal of courage. Close consultation with key decision makers, both in the initial analysis of the company’s needs and in the process of assessing the candidates is vital to achieve expectations. Rise up above the people that are afraid to act.
It is our goal to look closely vital details like candidates compensation levels, location requirements, experience level, as well as how the company is viewed within the market. These metrics will assist us in finding the right fit for all. Merely satisfied is not sufficient. We are looking for long-term results, just like you are. Replace fear with respect and caution.

4. Sincerity in our value & belief in diversity (Gi)
The industry relies on Diversity. There is no success without it. Innate to every human being on this planet is a sense of right & wrong. There is no debate, there is only truth and falsehood, justice and injustice. There is no longer the need to feel inferior due to color, race, creed, ethnic origin, upbringing or physical “handicaps” or imparities. What was once seen as a negative is now a strategic advantage, especially in the industries we represent.
The sad fact is that it might be the polorizing sensationalism that is holding our society back. The focus should be on what we can do working together, not what some cannot. Where there is a will to succeed, a way will be found. The real value of diversity is the impact it has on shaping a highly dynamic and highly collaborative environment. With so many skilled people from so many diverse backgrounds, we are not only able to provide candidates some truly unique options, but we are proud to offer their skills.

5. An intense focus on Professional Courtesy (Rei)
As a professional organization engaged in recruiting talent, we focus on Courtesy in every aspect of our organization, from how we answer the phone to our follow-up communications long after the placement has been completed. Not every candidate will be suited for a job or an employer, and not every Employer will be deserving of every candidate. Communications about factual truths must be honestly expressed and be conducted with courtesy regardless of the difficulties presented. Without this outward respect, we are just animals.
Comprehensive knowledge of the industry in which the searches are conducted, remains paramount. That includes the open way we communicate if we have not yet been able to locate a qualified candidate we feel comfortable in highlighting for your consideration. There is no reason to prove strength or point out weakness. We are both looking for the right candidate. We don’t believe in lowering our standards or the standards of our client just to fill a vacancy.
-
6. Honor in those that have come before us & those we represent (Meiyo)
At EyeRecruit we as professionals continue to learn & develop, much as you do. Over time we have realized that personal development is internally organic and can only be realized by cultivating honesty, fairness and most importantly, the integrity in ones own beliefs. Living in the world in which we operate, it’s hard not to see things changing at a breathtakingly fast pace. The definition of Honor has also changed over time. This shift has brought with it some disturbing and sad consequences.
The professions we represent changes, and will continue to, as technology increases and new threats emerge within our communities, our Countries and our Society. We want the very best in Employers the industry to recruit the very top talent. There are bigger events unfolding. Our specilization gives our associates a unique, competitive advantage in the recruiting marketplace. No one is too old to learn. Everyone is expected to do so.
-
7. Duty & Loyalty in our dealings (Chu)
Actions and their consequences define those who take them. We have a policy of not actively recruiting from an Employer for a prescribed amount of time after we have been retained to perform a search. Because of the value we place on Loyalty, options have been made available to Employers so they never have to worry about a valued team member being actively recruited away from their ranks by EyeRecruit.
Temptation to compromise loyalty is most commonly related to greed and selfishness. There are no personal or professional compromises that can be justified in the end. Loyalty, devotion and duty represent clear and non-negotiable commitments either to a person, a place, a thing, a cause, a belief or even something as simple as a promise. A sense of Duty and a unwavering commitment to Loyalty will be the greatest gift you could ever give your self…or the rest of the world.
