Atsunori Yonemoto
Born in Osaka, with experience living in the UK and the US.
During his middle school years, he won a national karate championship and later competed at the international level. He was also involved in the Boy Scouts for approximately ten years. During high school, he received a recommendation from a prestigious soccer powerhouse that regularly competed in national tournaments and later attended a top-tier university that has produced over 40 professional J-League players. While in university, he was selected as a representative for Osaka’s national soccer team.
After graduating, he pursued a master’s degree in International Business at the University of Liverpool in the UK.
Upon returning to Japan, he worked as an interpreter and soccer coach at the Manchester United Soccer School, provided interpretation services at a Japanese hotel, and gained experience as a researcher, consultant, and manager at a major global recruitment agency. His expertise spans recruitment, staffing, and contracting.
He later specialized in executive search, handling high-level positions with annual salaries ranging from 10 to 30 million yen or higher. In 2022, he was recognized as the top-performing consultant at ManpowerGroup. Following this success, he established Yonemoto Corporation, leveraging his expertise in executive search and freelance contract recruitment to deliver unique and innovative services.
Personal Background
Yonemoto’s grandfather was an entrepreneur who ran a small factory specializing in ship and blast furnace design. Inspired by his grandfather’s direct dealings with major trading companies due to his exceptional technical skills, Yonemoto aspired to start his own business.
Born and raised in Osaka, a stronghold of the manufacturing industry, he aimed to expand business operations globally from a base in Tokyo. To achieve this goal, he studied abroad in the UK, specializing in international business, focusing on M&A and successful overseas expansion strategies.
During his time in graduate school, he was scouted by a major global recruitment firm and began his career as a researcher specializing in the manufacturing industry. He quickly advanced through the ranks, becoming an associate, senior IT associate, and IT consultant in a short period.
Through his experience, he observed that many successful professionals in the IT and headhunting industries had transitioned from other fields. Recognizing the unique synergies created by cross-industry career changes, he joined another global recruitment firm that also handled staffing. After excelling as a consultant and deepening his knowledge of the staffing industry, he was recruited to launch and lead a new contract staffing division at another global recruitment firm.
After accumulating experience in staffing and contracting, he achieved the top annual performance in executive recruitment at a major global firm. Having managed multiple employment models, he founded Yonemoto Corporation to leverage his expertise in workforce solutions, aiming to cultivate globally active talent.
