The 7 Samurai system is a Japan-fit filter. Not a generic software roundup. Each product is scored across seven criteria, then interpreted through both domestic Japanese and bilingual or international agency reality.
A structured review framework for recruitment technology in Japan.
Most reviews are too generic. They tell you whether a tool sounds good in a vacuum. They do not tell you whether it works for a domestic Japanese firm, a bilingual agency in Tokyo, or a global vendor trying to break into this market.
The point is not to be nice. The point is to be useful.
Long-form reviews live here. More are coming.
A monster for reach. Still not a real memory layer for agencies.
Worth reviewing properly because the automation angle is real.
Momentum is there. But Japan fit needs a harder look.
Use the reusable review page template each time. That keeps formatting consistent, helps SEO, and makes the series look like a system rather than random posts.
