Why JVA
Unique distribution channel
We reach returnees, international school alumni, and study-abroad students directly through Instagram and LinkedIn — channels Japanese job platforms don't operate.

Free to list. We handle screening and relay. Your portal shows what matters: candidate fit and next step.
