企業向け!ベトナム人エンジニア採用で登録すべき転職サイトと7つのコツ

ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する際は、企業は単に転職サイトへ求人を掲載するだけではなく、ベトナム人エンジニアがどのように転職先を探し、企業のどこを見て応募を判断しているのかを事前に理解しておくことが重要です。弊社のベトナム人キャリアアドバイザーに聞いたところによると、ベトナム人ITエンジニアの採用活動では、以下のような7つのコツを把握することが大切です。◆ベトナム人ITエンジニアの採用を成功させる7つのコツコツ① 採用では「応募者がロジカルに説明できるか」をしっかり見極めるコツ② オープンマインドな社風がベトナム人には好まれやすいコツ③ 「チームワークの良さ」をベトナム人人材に打ち出すコツ④ 「成長できる会社」より「働きやすい会社」を印象付けることコツ⑤ 「JLPT(日本語能力試験)」の基準は採用側の外国籍採用経験に合わせて考えるコツ⑥ 外国籍人材を受け入れられる環境を自社で整えるコツ⑦ 家族を持つベトナム人ITエンジニアには「働き方への配慮」も有効本記事では、外国籍ITエンジニアの企業担当・応募者担当の両方を経験するキャリアアドバイザーへの取材をもとに、ベトナム人ITエンジニアの転職サイトの使い方、ベトナム人ITエンジニア採用のコツや注意点などを詳しく解説します。ベトナム人ITエンジニアは「フルスタック・バックエンド・AI」など幅広い領域で活躍ベトナム人ITエンジニアには、さまざまな技術領域の人材がいます。弊社GitTapに応募しているベトナム人人材においては、特に以下のような分野のエンジニアが多い印象です。◆ベトナム人人材が多い領域・フルスタックエンジニア・バックエンドエンジニア・モバイルアプリ開発・機械学習・AI関連このような人材は、日本だけではなく世界中で取り合いになっている現状があります。ベトナム人ITエンジニアは日本だけでなく、アメリカやシンガポールなど海外で働く人もいます。英語を使って働ける人材も多く、優秀なITエンジニアにとって日本は数ある就職先の一つです。日本で働く場合は日本語力が必要になるため、日本に来るベトナム人は大学時代に日本語を学んでいるケースが多く、そのような熱心な人材が多いのも特徴と言えるでしょう。ベトナム人ITエンジニアを探すなら外国籍ITエンジニアに強い5つのサイトがおすすめベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用できるサービスは、以下のような「外国籍ITエンジニア」に強い、5つの転職サイトを利用すべきです。◆外国人向け転職サイト5社比較サービス名タイプ主な特徴主な対象人材① GitTap(ギットタップ)採用マッチングプラットフォーム(求人掲載+スカウト+専任CS伴走)日本語動画+JLPT表示、就労可ビザ保有者1万人以上、組み込み・制御系検索、最短4週間実績、月100件まで無料スカウト外国籍・バイリンガルIT(国内在住多数・即戦力・120か国)② RISE for

Daijob.comバイリンガル総合の求人サイト+スカウト1998年開始、世界27か国、3,270社以上の採用実績、求人掲載1万件以上バイリンガル・グローバル人材(IT含むが特化ではない)④ CareerCrossバイリンガル総合の求人サイト+スカウト2000年開始、日本最大級のバイリンガル転職サイト、求人作成・スカウト代行などのオプションバイリンガル・プロフェッショナル(外資志向、IT含む)⑤ NINJA外国人向け転職サイト(求人メディア+スカウト。直接雇用・紹介の両求人)163か国・5万人以上の登録(発表値)、日本語ビジネスレベル以上77%、老舗で知名度が高い日本語力の高い外国人材(N1・N2中心、語学系ホワイトカラーが主。IT特化ではない)出典:GitTap、RISE for Business、Daijob.com、CareerCross、NINJAこのように「外国人向け転職サイト」といっても、それぞれ強みが異なります。弊社「GitTap」は日本語動画やJLPT表示で候補者の日本語レベルが把握しやすく、就労可能なビザを保有する人材を多く抱えている点が特徴です。IT人材に特化したサービスであるため、特に初めて外国籍ITエンジニアを募集する企業に強みがあります。興味ある方は、下記の公式サイトをご覧ください。グローバルIT人材の採用マッチングサイト「GitTap」公式サイトRISE for Businessは料金体系が明快で、外国人採用に特化した適性検査やイベントを通じて候補者と接点を持てます。Daijob.comとCareerCross、NINJAは、IT人材特化ではないものの日本語ビジネスレベル以上の人材が多く登録しているバイリンガル人材全般を対象とした老舗の求人サイトで、掲載求人数の多さが強みです。このように、各サービスによって「対象となる人材の日本語レベル」や「IT人材への特化度合い」が異なるため、自社が求めるエンジニア像に合わせてサービスを選ぶことが重要です。それでは次に、ベトナム人ITエンジニアが転職サイト以外では、どのような経路で転職先を探しているのかを見ていきましょう。ベトナム人ITエンジニアが転職先を探す際に利用する代表的な3つの経路それでは、ベトナム人ITエンジニアが、転職先を探す際に、転職サイト以外で利用する経路を順に紹介します。方法① ベトナム人ITエンジニアの全員が利用する「Linkedin」弊社のベトナム人キャリアアドバイザーに聞いたところ「ベトナム人ITエンジニアはほぼ全員がLinkedInを利用している」と言うことであり、最も有力な転職サービス(この点はベトナム人に限りませんが)と言えます。そのため、費用をかけずに企業側からLinkedInを通じて直接スカウトするという選択肢もありますが、ベトナム人ITエンジニアを積極的に採用したい企業がLinkedInでスカウトを送っても、必ずしも返信が来るとは限りません。なぜなら、日本語能力の高いベトナム人人材は、すでに日本の大手企業のベトナム支社などで働いている人材も多く、給与や待遇を含めた条件がよほど良くなければ、スカウトメールへの反応を得るのは簡単ではないためです。方法② ベトナム人が情報収集で利用する「Facebookコミュニティー」ベトナム人の転職活動においてはFacebookのコミュニティもよく利用されている印象です。Facebookには、日本で生活するベトナム人向けのさまざまなコミュニティがあり、日本の生活情報についてだけでなく「仕事に関する情報交換」も活発に行われております。転職に関連する内容としては、例えば以下のような情報が共有されています。◆Facebookで転職に関する情報交換されていること日本でどのような求人ニーズがあるのか自分と同じ職種の年収がどのくらいなのか特定の企業で働いている人の話を聞きたい日本の企業やマーケットについて知りたい日本で働く人とつながりたい企業の人事担当者自身がこうしたコミュニティに参加している場合もありますので、上手くFacebookコミュニティーに参加することで、コストを抑えて採用活動を行うことができます。方法③ 日本企業で働いているベトナム人からの「リファーラル採用」日本企業のベトナム人の採用においては、すでに企業で働いている社員から知人を紹介してもらう「リファラル採用」も活発です。日本にいるベトナム人ITエンジニアの多くは、日本のベトナム人コミュニティーに所属しており、互いに仕事の情報を共有しております。具体的には以下のようなケースです。◆リファーラル採用の例「日本の○○会社で働いているベトナム人Aさん」が「××会社で働いているベトナム人Bさん」から話を聞いて、××会社に興味を持つようになり、AさんがBさんの会社を紹介してもらう。つまり、すでにベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用し、良い環境を提供することができれば、自然とベトナム人コミュニティーに、評判が伝わりやすくなるのです。そのため、ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する際は、「転職サイト」だけで候補者を探すのではなく、LinkedInやコミュニティ、リファーラル採用など、複数の手法を織り交ぜて、行うと効率よく採用活動を行うことができます。ベトナム人ITエンジニアが「転職サイトを選ぶ際に重視する3つのポイント」ベトナム人ITエンジニアが転職サイトや転職先を探す際は、掲載されている待遇面を見るだけではありません。弊社のベトナム人キャリアアドバイザーへに聞いたところ、以下の3点がポイントとして挙げられました。ポイント① 転職サイトの「社員の口コミ」を確認するベトナム人ITエンジニアは、転職先やサービスを選ぶ際に口コミをより重視する傾向があります。感覚としては、旅行の際にホテル予約サイトのレビューを確認するのに近く、実際に、日本企業で働いている人が、その企業をどのように評価しているかを確認したうえで判断するという考え方です。◆口コミの例「この会社は、外国籍社員への対応はオープンか?」「上司や同僚は話しやすいか?」「質問しやすい雰囲気か?」企業側としても、求人条件だけを充実させるのではなく、実際に働く社員がどのような環境で仕事をしているのかを伝えることが重要になります。なぜなら、特にベトナム人は「キャリアアップ」よりも「働きやすさ」を重視する傾向が強いためです。ポイント② 転職サイトで「職場の雰囲気」をチェックするベトナム人ITエンジニアの採用では、企業の成長性だけを強くアピールすればよいとは限りません。ベトナム人は他の国のエンジニアと比べて、働く環境を重視します。スキルやキャリアアップの面よりも職場環境の面の方がベトナム人の心に響きやすいため、ベトナム人ITエンジニアを積極的に採用する場合、企業インタビューや社員紹介など、実際の職場の雰囲気が分かるコンテンツは、候補者が企業を知るうえで重要な情報になります。コンテンツでは、条件だけではなく「自分がこの会社で問題なく働けそうか」を判断できる情報を用意することが大切です。ポイント③ 転職サイトにおいて「求人数の多さ」を確認する転職サービスを選ぶ際には、掲載されている求人数の多さも判断材料になります。選択肢が多ければ、自分の技術領域や日本語力、希望する働き方などに合う求人を比較しやすくなるためです。そのため、ITエンジニアを採用するのであれば、ITエンジニアに特化した「GitTap」のような転職サイトの方が、IT職種の選択肢が多く、ベトナム人にとっても選びやすい面があるからです。GitTapを確認したい方は、下記の公式サイトをご覧ください。グローバルIT人材の採用マッチングサイト「GitTap」公式サイト企業側としては、募集する職種に強い転職サイトを選ぶことで、その職種を探しているベトナム人と出会いやすくなるはずです。ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用するために事前に押さえておくべき「7つのコツ」それでは、ここからベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用するために、事前に企業側が絶対に押さえておくべき7つの採用のコツについて詳しく解説いたします。コツ① 採用では「応募者がロジカルに説明できる」かをしっかり見極めるベトナム人ITエンジニアの中には「ビジネス中級レベルの日本語力」を持つ人材が多くいます。中級レベルの場合、社内での日常的なコミュニケーションには大きな問題がなくても、面接で自分の考えを整理して説明することが難しい場合があります。しかし、採用面接を担当する企業側の面接官もエンジニアであることが多く、必ずしも日本語の流暢さそのものを求めているわけではありません。重要なのは、以下のような点です。◆採用面接でITエンジニアに求めている点「結論は何か?」「なぜそう考えるのか?」「自分はどのように対応したのか?」このように、課題に対して「ロジカルに筋道立てて説明できる」ことが特に求められ、単純な日本語能力だけでなく、日本語を使ってロジカルにコミュニケーションできるかを見る必要があるのです。例えば、質問に対して結論から答えず、途中で話が広がってしまったり、説明する内容がバラバラになってしまったりする場合は要注意となります。コツ② オープンマインドな社風がベトナム人には好まれやすいベトナム人ITエンジニアの採用がうまくいきやすいのは、外国籍社員に対してオープンマインドな企業です。すでに外国籍社員が複数働いている企業では、異なる文化や日本語レベルの社員と働くことに慣れているため、コミュニケーションの違いを受け入れやすくなります。企業側が日本式の働き方を一方的に求めるのではなく、異なる文化に合わせて伝え方や働き方を調整できれば、外国籍社員も働き続けやすくなります。単に、スキルのある外国籍エンジニアを採用できるかどうかだけでなく、入社した人材が長期間働ける環境を作れるかまで考えることが重要です。コツ③ 「チームワークの良さ」をベトナム人人材に打ち出すベトナム人ITエンジニアが日本企業で働く魅力の一つとして挙げられるのが「チームワーク」です。日本人には当たり前のことかもしれませんが、日本の仕事文化として、仕事の中で大変なことがあっても、チームとして同じ目標を持って取り組み、成果を出すことに楽しさや、やりがいを見つけることが、ベトナム人ITエンジニアには魅力的に感じるのです。同じチームで情報を共有し、一つの目標に向かってメンバーと一緒に仕事を進めるという「チームワークの良さ」については、企業として、大いにアピールすべきでしょう。そのため、ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する企業は、給与や仕事内容だけでなく以下のような点をアピールすべきです。◆ベトナム人ITエンジニアにアピールすべき点「どのようなチームで働くのか」「メンバー同士が日々どのように協力しているのか」「どのような目標を共有しているのか」このような内容を転職サイトや、あるいは直接候補者へ伝えることが非常に有効なのです。コツ④ 「成長できる会社」より「働きやすい会社」を印象付けることベトナム人ITエンジニアへ求人を訴求する際、企業側は「成長できる環境」「キャリアアップできる会社」といった内容をアピールしがちです。しかし、弊社のベトナム人キャリアアドバイザーに聞いたところ、ベトナム人材は環境面を重視する人も多く、「この会社で成長できる」という訴求だけでは、それほど強く響かないことがあるとのことです。それよりも、以下のような点を強調すると採用しやすくなります。◆ベトナム人ITエンジニアに響く要素・働きやすい会社なのか・どのような人が働いているのか・職場の雰囲気はどうなのか・外国籍社員も働きやすいのかスキルアップ面よりもこのような情報の方が、企業選びに与えるインパクトが大きい場合があります。そのため、求人票でも仕事内容や給与だけを掲載するのではなく、働く人や社風が伝わる情報を出すことが採用につながります。コツ⑤ 「JLPT(日本語能力試験)」の基準は採用側の外国籍採用経験に合わせて考える日本語能力試験(JLPT)の認定レベルだけで、採用できるかどうかを判断することはできません。特に重要なのが、採用する企業側に外国籍人材の採用経験があるかどうかです。例えばN3レベルの場合、外国籍社員の採用経験がまったくない企業では、コミュニケーションが難しくなるケースがあります。日本人同士で話すのと同じスピードや言葉遣いで説明し、外国籍の候補者が理解できないと、「日本語ができない」と断定的に評価してしまう傾向が高いためです。一方で、外国籍人材の採用に慣れている企業では、分かりやすい言葉を選び、相手の日本語力に合わせてコミュニケーションを取ります。そのような企業であれば、N3レベルの人材でも問題なく働ける場合があります。そのため、初めて外国籍社員を採用する企業では、N2以上の日本語力を持つ人材の方がコミュニケーションを取りやすい傾向があるのです。つまり、外国籍人材の採用を検討する際は、候補者だけに日本企業へ合わせてもらうのではなく、企業側にもコミュニケーションを調整する姿勢が必要となるのです。コツ⑥ 外国籍人材を受け入れられる環境を自社で整えるベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する際は、採用する人材の日本語レベルや技術力だけを確認するのではなく、自社が外国籍人材を受け入れられる環境になっているかも確認する必要があります。外国籍採用の経験がない企業には以下のような不安が、良く見られます。◆よくある不安(企業側)「日本語が通じなかったらどうしよう」「コミュニケーションがとれるのだろうか?」「採用してもすぐに辞めてしまうのではないか」しかし、実際にはベトナム人ITエンジニアには「日本人と比較的似たマインドを持ち、真面目で落ち着いて働く人が多い」印象です。重要なのは、外国籍社員に一方的に日本企業の文化へ合わせてもらうことではありません。日本語力に合わせて伝え方を工夫し、「報連相(ホウレンソウ)」など日本独自の仕事の進め方については具体的に説明する必要があります。また、求人段階から、仕事内容だけでなく職場の雰囲気や働いている社員、実際に日本語を使う場面まで伝えておけば、採用後のミスマッチも防ぎやすくなります。ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する際は、まず候補者との接点を作り、実際に話をしてみるところから始めてみるとよいでしょう。コツ⑦ 家族を持つベトナム人ITエンジニアには「働き方への配慮」も有効ベトナム人ITエンジニアの中には、結婚して子どもがいる男性も多くいます。そのため、採用条件として必須ではありませんが、家族に配慮した制度がある企業は魅力を感じてもらいやすくなります。例えば、以下のような制度です。◆ベトナム人に嬉しい制度の例・配偶者向けの福利厚生・年に一度まとまった期間ベトナムへ帰国し、その期間にリモートワークできるような制度実際に大手企業では、このような働き方を用意している場合があります。ベトナム人人材は結婚後に家族を日本へ呼び寄せて生活することも多いため、本人だけでなく、家族も含めて日本で生活しやすい環境を考えることが長期就業につながります。ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する際の2つの注意点それでは、ここでベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用する際の注意点について解説します。注意点①「報告・連絡・相談」に戸惑うケースがあるベトナム人ITエンジニアは、日本人と比較的近い気質を持ち、真面目で落ち着いている人が多いという印象があります。しかし、日本企業特有の仕事の進め方に戸惑うケースもあります。代表的なのが「報告・連絡・相談」、いわゆる報連相です。ベトナムの職場では、日本企業よりも上下関係がフラットな場合があり、自分で判断して進められると思ったことについて、そのまま進めてしまう点があります。分りやすく説明すると、以下のような例があげられます。◆ベトナム人の考え方「上司との打ち合わせを設定する際、カレンダーが空いていれば予定を入れてよい」そのため、本人に悪意はなくても、日本企業では事前に上司へ予定を確認することが求められるため、仕事の進め方に違いが生じます。企業側は、こうした違いを単に「報連相がない!」と一括りに判断するのではなく、日本企業ではどのような振る舞いが求められるのかを具体的に教えてあげることが重要となるのです。注意点② ミスマッチでよくあるのは「日本語環境のギャップ」ベトナム人ITエンジニアを採用した後、本人から「会社と合わなかった」として退職を申し出るケースがあります。理由としては「社風が固い」「働きづらい」といった職場環境に関するものがあります。ITエンジニアは20〜30代の若手も多いため、こうした職場環境を敬遠する傾向は外国籍社員だけに限ったものではありません。もう一つ注意したいのが、入社前に想定していた以上に日本語を使う職場だったというミスマッチです。実際に、複数回の面接を経て採用したものの、入社後に社内で日本語を使う場面が多く、本人がストレスを感じてしまったケースがありました。弊社の経験ですと、ミスマッチの原因としてスキルや性格が大きな問題になるケースは少なく、日本語力や実際に日本語を使う業務環境とのギャップが大きな要因になりやすい面がよくあると感じます。そのため、採用前に「日本語を使えるか」と確認するだけでなく、以下の点を事前に確認することが重要です。◆ミスマッチが生じないように採用する際に伝えておくべきこと・会議は日本語なのか・顧客対応があるのか・上司や同僚とのコミュニケーションは何語なのか・どの程度ロジカルな説明が求められるのかこのような実際の業務環境を伝えておくことがミスマッチを防ぐことにつながるのです。日本語を話せるベトナム人ITエンジニアの採用ならGitTapGitTap(ギットタップ)は、日本語を話せる外国人エンジニアと企業をつなぐ人材マッチングサービスです。候補者のスキルや職歴、日本語力などを確認できるほか、専任担当者による採用要件の整理や求人票作成、候補者へのアプローチまで支援しています。初期費用・月額費用・求人掲載費は無料で、採用決定時に費用が発生する成果報酬型です。ベトナム人ITエンジニアの採用を検討している企業は、まずは下記のGitTapの公式サイトから資料をダウンロードし、登録人材や料金体系、採用支援の内容を確認してみてください。グローバルIT人材の採用マッチングサイト「GitTap」公式サイト

[Free Template]Japanese CV Guide for Engineers: How to Write a Shokumu Keirekisho

Are you an IT professional planning to work in Japan? One of the first hurdles you will face is preparing the correct job application documents for Japan. Unlike in Western countries, where a single 1-2 page resume is sufficient, Japanese companies typically require two distinct documents: the "Rirekisho" and the "Shokumu Keirekisho."For software engineers and technical professionals, the Shokumu Keirekisho (Curriculum Vitae / Career History) is the most critical document. It is where you showcase your technical stack, project experience, and engineering skills.In this guide, we will explain the standard Japanese CV format, provide an IT engineer CV example, and offer a Japanese CV template specifically designed for developers.Note: If you are worried about the language barrier or finding companies that accept English CVs, GTalent specializes in connecting global engineers with English-speaking tech jobs in Japan.[Free Template] Complete Guide to Japanese Resumes for IT EngineersJob Application Documents in Japan: Rirekisho vs Shokumu KeirekishoBefore diving into the writing process, it is essential to understand the difference between the two required documents. This is a common point of confusion known as the Japanese resume vs CV.Rirekisho (Japanese Resume)A standardized form that acts as a simple profile. It includes your photo, education history, brief employment timeline, and basic personal information. It is static and factual.Shokumu Keirekisho (Career History / Japanese CV)A detailed document describing what you did in your previous jobs. For engineers, this acts as a technical resume for Japan. It details your projects, the technologies used (languages, frameworks, tools), and your specific contributions.While the Rirekisho is a formality, the Shokumu Keirekisho is what gets you the interview.Download Your Software Engineer CV TemplateReady to start writing? You don't need to start from scratch. We have prepared a software engineer CV template that follows the industry standard in Japan.Download Template職務経歴書(Template with English guidance).docx※ Available in Microsoft Word format.Pro Tip: Once you complete your Shokumu Keirekisho, don't just keep it on your desktop. GitTap is a job platform specifically for foreign IT engineers in Japan. By uploading your profile and skill sheet there, Japanese tech companies can scout you directly based on your technical stack.How to Write a Shokumu Keirekisho for EngineersWriting a Shokumu Keirekisho can be daunting, but following a standard structure makes it easier. An effective Engineer CV in Japan should generally include the following sections:Sections 1–5: Basic Information & Skills SummaryName & Date: Always include the submission date. Avoid using a date older than 3 months, as it may give the impression that you are reusing an outdated document.Professional Summary: Summarize your entire career in 3 to 5 lines. Hiring managers use this section to decide whether to keep reading your resume.Work History Overview: List your work experience in reverse chronological order (starting with your most recent position).Core Competencies & Knowledge: Use bullet points to highlight your key strengths and areas of expertise.Technical Skills (Crucial):IT: List languages, frameworks, OS, databases, and tools (e.g., AWS, Docker).Mechanical & Electrical (M&E): List CAD software (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks), measuring instruments, PLCs, and safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).Note: Organize these in a table format along with your "years of professional experience" for each skill.Section 6: Work Experience (The Core of Your Resume)This is the most critical part of your application. List your projects starting from the most recent. The key is to focus not just on what you did, but on how you contributed.Project Duration & Scale: Include the timeframe, team size, and budget (if applicable).Role: Clearly state your position (e.g., Individual Contributor, Team Lead, Project Manager).Project Phases (Scope of Work):IT: Requirements Definition, Basic Design, Detailed Design, Implementation/Coding, Testing, Operations & Maintenance.M&E: Conceptual Design, Detailed Design, Analysis (CAE), Prototyping, Testing/Evaluation, Mass Production Launch.Achievements & Outcomes: Focus on quantitative results. For example: "Reduced costs by X%," "Improved yield by X%," or “Shortened delivery lead time by X days.”Shokumu Keirekisho Translation: Tips for Foreign EngineersA common mistake is simply using a translation tool to convert your English resume into Japanese. This often fails because the Shokumu Keirekisho translation requires localization, not just translation.English resumes are often concise (1-2 pages). A Shokumu Keirekisho is expected to be more detailed (2-4 pages for experienced engineers). When translating, you often need to expand on your English bullet points to fit the descriptive style of the Japanese CV format.If you are not confident in your business Japanese, it is highly recommended to have your CV reviewed by a bilingual recruitment agent.ConclusionCreating a high-quality Shokumu Keirekisho is your first step toward a successful career in Japan. By focusing on a clear Skill Sheet and a detailed Project History, you can effectively communicate your value as an engineer to Japanese hiring managers.If you need professional advice on your Japanese CV or want to find high-paying tech jobs in Japan, contact GTalent today.Ready to take the next step?For Direct Offers: Register on GitTap to get scouted by tech companies looking for your specific skills.For Career Advice: Consult with GTalent agents to find high-paying, non-public-sector jobs that meet your visa requirements.

[Free Template] Complete Guide to Japanese Resumes for IT Engineers

Thinking of working as a software engineer in Japan?  To land your dream job in Tokyo's thriving tech scene—whether in robotics, AI, or gaming—you need more than just code. You need a proper Japanese resume ("Rirekisho").Unlike Western CVs, the Japanese Rirekisho has a unique format that reflects Japan's business culture. But don't worry. In this guide, you will get:Free Templates: Downloadable Excel format, ready to use.Step-by-Step Instructions: How to fill out every section specifically for developers.Key Differences: Understanding "Rirekisho" vs. "Shokumu-keirekisho" (CV). Mastering this document is your first step toward a high-paying engineering career in Japan. Let’s get started.Why You Need a Japanese Resume (Rirekisho) as an Engineer1. The Gateway to the Japanese Tech Industry Japan is not just about Anime and delicious food; it is a global powerhouse in technology. From world-class automotive manufacturing and robotics to the rapidly growing Web and AI sectors in Tokyo, the demand for international IT talent is at an all-time high.While your coding skills (Python, Java, Go, etc.) are critical, Japanese companies also value "trust" and "consistency." The Rirekisho is the standard document used to verify your background and show that you are serious about adapting to Japanese business culture.2. "Do I need to speak fluent Japanese?" This is the most common concern. While speaking Japanese is a huge plus, it is not always mandatory.Many modern tech companies and startups in Japan now use English as their primary working language. They are looking for your technical expertise first. However, submitting a properly formatted Japanese resume—even if you use a template—demonstrates your respect for the culture and significantly increases your chances of getting an interview. Note: If you are worried about the language barrier, GTalent specializes in connecting global engineers with English-speaking tech jobs in Japan. Rirekisho vs. Shokumu-keirekisho: What’s the Difference?In Western countries, a "Resume" or "CV" usually covers everything. In Japan, you generally need two separate documents to apply for a job:1. Rirekisho (履歴書 - Japanese Resume)Purpose: A standardized "Profile" document.Content: Personal info, education history, employment timeline, and basic qualifications.Format: Very strict layout. It rarely changes regardless of the job you apply for.2. Shokumu-keirekisho (職務経歴書 - Japanese CV / Career History)Purpose: To showcase your Technical Skills.Content: Detailed project experiences, programming languages (e.g., React, AWS, Docker), team size, and your specific role in each project.Format: Free format (but there are standard practices). For IT Engineers, the "Shokumu-keirekisho" is where you prove your code; the "Rirekisho" is where you prove your character.This guide focuses on the Rirekisho. If you need to write a Shokumu-keirekisho, check our article below[Free Template]Japanese CV Guide for Engineers: How to Write a Shokumu Keirekisho & Rirekisho Download Free Japanese Resume Template (Excel)First, download our standardized Japanese Resume template. It is in Excel format, so you can easily edit it on your computer.Download Templaterirekisho_format.xlsx – 31 KB※ Available in Microsoft Excel format.Pro Tip: Once you complete your resume, don't just keep it on your desktop. GitTap is a job platform specifically for foreign IT engineers in Japan. By uploading your profile there, Japanese tech companies can scout you directly.Step-by-Step Guide: How to Fill Out Your Rirekisho1. Basic Personal Information (基本情報)Name: Write your name in English (alphabet) as it appears on your passport. Adding "Katakana" pronunciation is helpful for HR managers.Photo: Essential in Japan. Wear a clean shirt (a suit is safer, but smart casual is often okay for tech jobs). Look straight at the camera. No selfies.Address: If you are overseas, write your country and current address.2. Education & Work History (学歴・職歴) This section is for the timeline.Education: List from high school onward.Work History: List your companies in chronological order.For Engineers: You don't need to list every programming language here (save that for the Shokumu-keirekisho). Just write the Company Name, Department (e.g., Software Development Dept.), and "Entered/Left".3. Licenses & Qualifications (免許・資格) This is a great chance to highlight your tech stack and language ability.Language: JLPT (N1-N5), TOEIC, TOEFL.Tech Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Google Cloud Professional, Cisco (CCNA/CCNP), Salesforce, etc.Note: Write the official name of the qualification and the month/year you obtained it.4. Motivation & Requests (志望動機・本人希望欄)Motivation: Keep it brief. Focus on why you want to work in Japan and for that specific company.Commuting Time: If you live abroad, leave it blank.Requests: Usually, write "I will comply with your company regulations" (貴社規定に従います). If you have strict conditions (e.g., fully remote work due to visa processing), you can mention them here, but it's better to discuss this during the interview.For Direct Offers: Register on GitTap to get scouted by tech companies.For Career Advice: Consult with G Talent agents to find high-paying, non-public-sector jobs that meet your visa requirements.Common Mistakes Foreign Engineers MakeEven skilled developers make simple mistakes on their resumes that can cost them an interview. Avoid these common pitfalls:1. Mixing CalendarsJapan often uses the Imperial calendar (e.g., Reiwa 6) in conjunction with the Western calendar (2024). Stick to the Western calendar (2024) for consistency unless you are very familiar with the Japanese system.2. Handwriting vs. TypingTraditionally, Japanese resumes were handwritten. Today, typing on a PC is perfectly acceptable and preferred for IT jobs. It shows you can use basic tools efficiently.3. Using a "Selfie" PhotoWe cannot stress this enough. Even for startups, a casual selfie gives a sloppy impression. Use a clean, well-lit photo with a plain background.4. Ignoring GapsIf there is a gap in your employment history, be prepared to explain it. Japanese HR managers often check for consistency in your career timeline.Conclusion: Start Your Career in Japan TodayThe Japanese Rirekisho is more than just paperwork; it is your passport to a new life and career in one of the world's most exciting tech hubs.By following this guide and using the template, you have already cleared the first hurdle. But remember, the resume is just a tool. The goal is to land the job. Ready to take the next step?Get Scouted: Upload your new resume to GitTap and let Japanese companies come to you.Get Expert Help: If you want professional advice on visa sponsorship, salary negotiation, or interview prep, register with GTalent.

For Foreigners: Introduce you to the programming languages that pay well!

What should foreigners do to work as IT engineers in Japan and earn a high salary? Since the salary level differs depending on the programming language you learn, it is recommended that you choose a programming language with a high salary.In this article, we will explain programming languages that will allow you to work in Japan and earn a high salary, as well as methods for increasing your salary in Japan. If you want to work at an IT company with a high salary, please use “G Talent”, which is a site where global companies in the IT industry gather.Programming languages with getting high salaries in JapanThe following are the programming languages you should learn in order to earn a high salary as an IT engineer in Japan.GoTypeScriptR languagePythonCPerlC#ScalaJavaScriptGoGo is a new language developed by Google and released in 2009, and it is popular because it is compatible with most operating systems, including Windows, MacOS X, Linux, Android, and iOS. It is a simple, high-performance programming language that is difficult to introduce bugs into. It is a popular language that is attracting a lot of attention, but there are still not many engineers who have mastered Go, so the annual income level is high.Because the grammar is completely different from other languages, there is a disadvantage in that it costs money to learn. However, it is a language that is worth spending that much money on. In Japan, it is being adopted by major companies such as LINE, Mercari, and Gunosy, and it is attracting a lot of attention.There is a shortage of Go engineers, so if you learn Go, your value in the job market will increase. Go engineers are known for their high annual income, so if you are aiming to increase your annual income as an IT engineer, you should definitely learn it.Reference: Trending Programming Languages That Make You The Most Money In Japan/G Talent BlogTypeScriptTypeScript is a programming language that is an extension of JavaScript and is upwardly compatible, and is a language that you should learn if you want to become a web engineer. It is safer to develop in TypeScript than in JavaScript, as it is less prone to bugs, so development efficiency will increase. By learning a programming language that is one step above the norm as a web engineer, you should be able to increase your salary.TypeScript is an extension of JavaScript that is widely used, so it is expected that demand for it will continue to grow. There is also a movement to rewrite systems written in JavaScript in TypeScript, so you can expect to see an increase in work in the future. By learning TypeScript in addition to JavaScript, you can take your career as a web developer to the next level.Reference: フロントエンドの開発で必要な言語一覧!JavaScriptだけでなくTypeScriptのスキルも必要?/転職GUIDER languageR is a programming language that is suitable for fields such as machine learning, statistical analysis, data analysis, data mining, and graphics.

By learning Perl, you can expand the scope of your work and aim to increase your annual income.C#C# is a general-purpose language developed by Microsoft that can be used to develop web apps, smartphone apps, games, etc. It is not the latest language, but there are many existing systems that are currently running in C#, so there are many opportunities to put it to use, and if you learn it, you can also increase your annual income. Please note that it is completely different from C and C++, even though the names are similar.Reference: C#(シーシャープ)とは?5つの特徴とできることを紹介/発注ラウンジScalaScala is a relatively new language, but it is a high-performance language that is compatible with Java. It is highly compatible with Java, and there are many systems developed in Java, so it is highly versatile.Another big attraction is that you can use most of the Java libraries. It also has the characteristics of being fast and having good development efficiency. Because it has so many advantages like this, if you learn it, you can aim to increase your annual income.JavaScriptJavaScript is a programming language that can be used to create dynamic web page movements. If you want to become a web engineer, you can say that it is a language that you must learn.As web content and web apps continue to increase, the demand for JavaScript will also increase.

In the world of programming, “popular languages do not necessarily mean high-paying languages”.Languages that are used frequently, languages that are expected to develop in the future, languages that are rare because there are few engineers who know them - languages that meet several of these conditions are the ones that pay well. If there are already many engineers who know the language and the number of programmers who know it is at saturation point, it will be difficult to increase your salary even if you learn it. It is important to carefully check the value of the language in the job market and choose the language you should learn.Reference: バックエンドエンジニアに必要なスキル17選!効率的な勉強方法も紹介/フリーランスのミカタImprove your programming skillsIt is important to not only learn about languages, but also to improve your programming skills. Prepare a development environment at home and try developing and running programs.We also recommend that you upload your smartphone app to the app store and have it used by the general public. Acquire practical skills such as being able to use frameworks, libraries and useful development tools.Reference: プログラマーとはどんな職業?必要なプログラミングスキル・年収を解説/プロクラDon't get too fixated on one programming languageIf you want to increase your salary as an engineer, it's not a good idea to stick too rigidly to one programming language. Each programming language has its own areas of strength. Also, languages that are popular at one time will eventually become outdated. For this reason, get into the habit of learning various languages as needed.Reference: 2つ以上のプログラミング言語を習得することの重要性/綺麗に死ぬITエンジニアAcquire IT skills and knowledge other than programmingIT skills and knowledge other than programming are also necessary.

What programming languages are in demand for back-end engineer in Japan?

What programming languages are necessary to work as a backend engineer in Japan? In addition to programming languages, being able to use frameworks will also expand the scope of your work. In this article, we will explain the programming languages and frameworks necessary to work as a backend engineer in Japan, as well as knowledge outside of the language.If you would like to work as a backend engineer in Japan, please use IT industry global company recruitment agency “G Talent”.What is a Back-end Engineer?First of all, let's take a look at what a back-end engineer actually is.The difference between front-end and back-end engineersBefore explaining what front-end and back-end engineers are, we need to explain what the front-end and back-end of a system are. A system is divided into a front-end for the user and a back-end for the server, and the engineers in charge of each are different.The screens that users see on websites and web apps are displayed by the front-end system, which is made using HTML/CSS, JavaScript, etc. The front-end system displays screens, sends input information to the server-side system, and achieves other screen transitions.On the other hand, the system on the server side is called the back-end, and is made using PHP, Java, etc. The program processes the information entered on the front end, accesses the database as necessary, and returns the results to the front end.Back-end engineers are those who develop the programs on the back end, while front-end engineers develop the programs on the front end.Reference: フロントエンドとバックエンド:役割とスキルの違いを解説/TECH PLAYBack-end engineers have a promising futureBack-end engineers have a promising future. The IT market, and web content in particular, is continuing to grow, and back-end engineers are indispensable to web content. For this reason, it is predicted that demand for back-end engineers will continue to grow in the future.In addition, there are many existing systems, and there is plenty of work to be done, such as adding functions, maintenance, and migration to new systems. In this way, it can be said that back-end engineers have a promising future.Reference: バックエンドエンジニアは今後どうなる?将来性やキャリアパスを解説!/HiPro TechWhat programming languages are in demand for back-end engineer in Japan?The following eight programming languages are in demand for backend engineers at IT companies in Japan.PythonPHPRubyC++PerlJavaGoSQLPythonPython is a programming language that is used in fields such as AI, big data, machine learning, and IoT.

It is often used in existing systems, so there will probably be a lot of work in the future, such as adding functions, changing specifications, and maintenance. However, as it is not the latest language, you will also need to learn new technologies and languages in parallel.Java is a language that is used in a very wide range of fields, and it can be used to develop web apps, PC apps, Android apps, CG development, embedded systems, etc. Java has the advantage of being able to build highly secure and robust systems, and it can reduce bugs and security risks.It is important to remember that JavaScript is completely different from Java. Java is a general-purpose language for back-end development, while JavaScript is a language used to build dynamic screen controls for web page development. Please be careful, as they are completely different languages, like “as different as melon and melon bread” or “as different as India and Indonesia”.Reference: 【入門】Javaとは?言語の特徴やプログラミングの流れをわかりやすく解説!/Engineer LaboGoGo is a new language that is expected to play an active role in the future, developed by Google in 2009. Go has the advantage of being able to be developed compactly with a small amount of code, and bugs can be kept to a minimum.For this reason, it is a language that makes it easy to develop high-quality programs efficiently. However, because the grammar is completely different from other languages, there is the disadvantage that it takes time to learn if you are learning it from scratch.Reference: Go言語とはどんなプログラミング言語?特徴やできることを解説/発注ラウンジSQLSQL is a very old language, but it is a language that is still in active use today and will continue to be used in the future for database construction and operation.

What languages are in demand for front-end development at Japanese companies?

In order to work as a front-end engineer at a Japanese company, it is necessary to learn the programming languages that are in demand at Japanese companies. In addition to development languages, it is also useful to know the knowledge that is useful when working in Japan, and this will make your job-hunting activities as an engineer in demand in Japan smoother.In this article, we will explain the development languages and frameworks that are in demand at Japanese companies, as well as the knowledge you need to know in order to work in Japan. If you are looking for a job that suits you in Japan, we recommend using “G Talent”, a recruitment agency that brings together global companies in the IT industry.Front-end development languages in demand at Japanese companiesThe following three languages are in demand and should be learned in order to work as a front-end engineer at a Japanese company.HTMLCSSJavaScriptHTMLHTML is a language that is essential for web development, so you should definitely learn it if you want to work as a front-end engineer, not just for Japanese companies. The latest version of HTML is HTML5.It is a language that is necessary for creating the composition of text and images on web pages, and front-end engineers in web development always use it. Even if you don't actually do the coding, there are cases where you need to know HTML, such as when you need to verify or improve the content by looking at the source of the screen. It is one of the languages that are indispensable for front-end development.Reference: フロントエンジニアに必要な言語とは?フレームワークやライブラリについてもご紹介/パーソルクロステクノロジーCSSCSS, also known as a style sheet, is a language used in conjunction with HTML. It is necessary for specifying font and color, etc., and for front-end engineers who must master HTML, it is also essential to master CSS.Even if you are not actually developing the source, you may also need to look at the source if you are involved in website development or web app development. For this reason, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with its structure and syntax. Along with HTML, it is a language that is in demand for web development.Reference: フロントエンド言語とは?フレームワークやライブラリについても解説/トライコーンラボJavaScriptJavaScript is a language for developing dynamic web page movements. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of websites and web apps with complex, screen-based movements, so JavaScript can be said to be a skill that is essential for front-end engineers.As the need for JavaScript continues to evolve, languages that extend JavaScript and are upwardly compatible, such as TypeScript, have also appeared. By acquiring the knowledge to develop advanced screens, you can become a front-end engineer who can work in Japanese companies.Reference: JSが苦手なフロントエンドエンジニアが語る 「JavaScriptと仲良くなるための基本の「き」」/PLAN-BFront-end languages you want to learn to become an engineer in demandThe front-end development languages that Japanese companies need, as mentioned above, are all basic ones. It is only natural to know these languages, and in order to be an engineer in demand at a Japanese company, it is necessary to master an advanced, upwardly compatible language.One such upwardly compatible language that front-end engineers should master is TypeScript. TypeScript is an extension of JavaScript developed by Microsoft. It is a type language that performs type declarations, and has the advantage of being able to prevent errors at the time of compiling the source. For this reason, it is characterized by being able to suppress the occurrence of bugs compared to JavaScript, and being able to develop efficiently.Currently, more and more companies are switching to TypeScript, which allows them to develop JavaScript code more safely. If you learn TypeScript as a front-end engineer, you will be able to handle more work and become an engineer in demand.Reference: フロントエンドの開発で必要な言語一覧!JavaScriptだけでなくTypeScriptのスキルも必要?/転職GUIDEIf you want to master front-end development, framework skills are also importantIn order to master front-end development in Japan, you need to learn not only languages but also frameworks. A framework is a collection of already-made source code.For example, login authentication and payment functions are often used in web development, and frameworks play a role in organizing these functions in a way that makes them easy to reuse. If you use a framework that has already been created, you can develop more efficiently.Since frameworks already have quality assurance, if you use them well, you can develop high-quality programs quickly. From here, we will introduce five frameworks that are in demand in front-end development.jQueryReact.jsVue.jsAngularJSBootstrapjQueryjQuery is a JavaScript library. A library has a similar role to a framework, and while a framework is a framework, a library can be used as a component in parts.If you use jQuery, you can easily implement code for web browsers, and it is designed to be easy for beginners to use. It is used in many web production environments, so if you want to work as a front-end engineer at a Japanese company, you should learn it.However, while it makes it easy to implement things like animations, it also has the disadvantage of being slow. Since many functions have been added since it was first released, be aware that it may be slow and difficult to use in some cases.Reference: jQueryは終わったのか論争を、終わらせにきました。/TOMORROW GATEReact.jsReact.js is a JavaScript library similar to jQuery. It is a library developed by Facebook and its community, and is mainly used to build UI components. It is used by many Japanese companies, so if you want to work as a front-end engineer at a Japanese company, it is recommended that you learn it.It is designed to make it easy to manage the source code, and is suitable for large-scale development, which tends to have a complex design. However, since many of the documents are in English, you will need a high level of English ability to gather the information you need. In that respect, it is a library that is easy for foreign engineers to use.Reference: React.jsとは?基本情報からメリットに至るまで詳しく紹介/発注ラウンジVue.jsVue.js is one of the JavaScript frameworks for building UIs. It was designed based on the concept of a progressive framework, and it has the feature of being easy to use even when the system is gradually added to with functions at a later stage.Once a web system has been developed, it doesn't end there - there are often times when functions are added to respond to the requests of clients and end users. In such cases, the framework introduced at the beginning of development may not be able to handle everything, but Vue.js can be extended without any problems. This is made possible by the concept of a progressive framework.Reference: Vue.jsについて学習してみた <基礎編>/ラクスエンジニアブログAngularJSAngularJS is a Model-View-Whatever (MVW) framework developed by Google and its community. Using AngularJS allows you to efficiently develop the front end of complex web applications. It is a framework that is particularly suitable for business applications and CRUD applications.BootstrapBootstrap is a web framework that is made up of HTML/CSS and JavaScript. It includes commonly used functions such as forms and buttons, and is also characterized by the fact that it includes website design templates. By using Bootstrap, you will be able to build a website with a high level of design, even if you don't have programming languages such as HTML/CSS or JavaScript, or design skills.There are several types of Bootstrap, including one that can be used in conjunction with AngularJS and one that has been developed for WordPress. We recommend that you learn the type that is most appropriate for the type of Japanese company you are working for.Reference: Web用フレームワーク「Bootstrap」について徹底解説/R-StoneThree types of knowledge other than the languages required for front-end developmentIn order to work as a front-end engineer at a Japanese company, it is not enough to have knowledge of programming languages, frameworks, and libraries. Here, we will explain the knowledge that will be useful to acquire in addition to languages.Knowledge of UI / UX designKnowledge of web marketing (SEO)Knowledge of back-end engineersIf you acquire knowledge that is useful for these jobs, as well as development languages and frameworks, you will be able to smoothly enter the development field after changing jobs.Knowledge of UI/UX designYou can't develop a website that is easy for users to use just by being able to build websites using HTML/CSS and JavaScript. You also need UI design skills to build designs that are easy for users to use, and UX design skills to improve users' customer experience. If you study both of these in depth, they will definitely be useful as a front-end engineer.However, it may be difficult to directly apply your knowledge and skills to your work if you only study them. You will gain practical skills by gaining knowledge and skills and gaining work experience. It is important to continue to hone your UI and UX skills even after you have found a job or changed jobs.Also, these days, websites and web apps are not only viewed on computers, but are increasingly being used on a variety of devices such as tablets and smartphones. For this reason, it is important to be aware of and acquire knowledge of “responsive design”, which is design knowledge for supporting a wide range of devices.Reference: レスポンシブWebデザインとは?基本知識から作り方まで詳しく解説!/NIJIBOX BLOGKnowledge of web marketing (SEO)In order to build a website or web app that will be seen by many users, it is not enough to simply improve the content. As web marketing knowledge, you need to know about SEO.SEO is a method of ensuring that your website appears at the top of the search results when people search for keywords on Google, Yahoo! and other search engines. In addition to building a site with excellent content, SEO requires a number of other measures, such as tag composition, the use of appropriate keywords, and link improvements.In order to carry out SEO measures, you need specialist knowledge and you have to carry out a lot of very tedious work.
