How do we choose the right modeling agency?

7/4/2022 / By 

Since long ago, modeling has been one of the most coveted occupations in Japan.

However, have you given up thinking, “I can’t be a model because I’m not tall enough,” “I’m not beautiful,” or “I can’t walk in an accurate way for shows”?

Tall is not the only way to be a model.
In the first place, models are hired to complement the product, not to be the star of the show.

How does one look cool carrying a Dior bag?
Who should carry it and for what purpose?
How should Louis Vuitton clothes be worn?
For what purpose should it be worn?
The model’s job is to show the product in a way that will excite the imagination of the people who see the advertisement or the stage.

Tall models are still chosen for fashion stages, but for some advertisements, people who fit the image are often used regardless of their height.
Also, for wedding shows and hair/makeup shows, people who fit the image are often sought rather than tall people, so it is not necessarily a job that only tall people can do.

So, how do you start such a coveted job as a model?

Practice 1

Search for modeling agencies using the web and SNS!

What kind of models are being used there and what is the model’s track record?

The key point is: do they have a track record of the work you are looking for?

Practice 2

Take the plunge and request an interview!

Actually, too many people tend to send nowadays retouched photos to offices, but it is not appropriated.
Indeed, most of the time, these agencies want to see you, as natural as possible, to understand who you are before an interview.

Before getting interviewed, it is recommended that you get ready-to-use great photos. The key to winning is to send shots that make the people understand your style, who you want to become as a model.

It’s important to understand the difference then between artistic photos and natural photos.

Sending retouched photos is OK when it’s on purpose, for showing what you can do as an artist for example. Then, here you can use effects, make-up (etc.).

But when agencies ask for natural photos, it is for a complete different purpose. It is essential to make the difference.
Otherwise, it might result in an NG for the interview.

Practice 3

Show off your strengths to the fullest in the interview!

A model does not get to the top simply by having good visuals.

Recommendations and evaluations from office managers are very important for becoming a model that can be used over and over.

Moreover, for managers, it is also safer to use models they know they can trust in, models that are serious and reliable. This will create a good relationship and agencies will then tend to recommend such models to their clients.

In addition, models who receive good reviews from clients are very popular, and they get lots of annual contracts just for repeats and never stop working.

So offices will hire models who convey such inner beauty in their interviews, and they are more likely to be morale-boosted by having them practice in the field immediately.

In the modeling industry, where service, care, and manners are very important, beautiful models who exude not only visually but also from the inside are in high demand.

And the education of such manners used as professional models is a specialty of Chat Noir Model Agency.

Chat Noir Models has branches in Tokyo, Osaka, and Los Angeles.
It is a modeling agency that actively works with international clients and foreign models.

The firm has over 25 years of experience and is a well-known promotional models agency.

Moreover, we have been working with foreign models for more than 10 years.

Chat Noir is a highly reputable and highly recommended modeling agency that currently work with more than 800 foreign and Japanese models from 45 different countries, making it a modeling agency with a global activities.

So check the Chat Noir modeling agency website to see if the modeling job you are after is here.

By the way, a collection of results for the past five years is available for review now, and the recent trend in the modeling industry is to actively use models in their 40s and 50s, as well as Mrs. models.

So don’t worry about your age anymore!

There is no retirement age for modeling!

And we hope that you will be able to model for a very very long time!

How to choose a reliable modeling agency

6/27/2022 / By 

When it comes to modeling and making career in the fashion industry, finding and getting agency representation is the first concrete step.

It seems pretty obvious as agencies are the bridge between models and the industry, having connections and established working relationships with clients, as well as the know-how to market talents and negotiate the best pay rates for models.

So most new and aspiring models understand the importance of finding agencies they can rely on. Agencies that are able to represent them well and help them to get offers.

Therefore, rather than working freelance, models should join an office so that managers can protect their talent and select work that suits them.
Today, there are more and more people who work freelance (without belonging to an office) using tools such as SNS, but those who feel the role and importance of an office are still recommended to join an office and have a manager to help and protect them.

This is why many models take the time at first to search actively and finally choose the agencies they feel they can trust.

But how do you find a modeling agency that will advise you, believe in you, and will help you reach your goals? How will you recognize that it is the one(s) for you, the one(s) you can rely on?

How should you choose a modeling agency? Let’s try to give you some tips in this article.

1. Screening their profiles and references

Actually, when you find a lot of agencies, it is important to check who they are? Who they come from? Do they have branches? What do they have achieved so far? Who are their clients?

The more clearly the company is described on its website, the more secure the company will be. It is a good way to make a preliminary selection.

If the agencies you are looking for have no experience (or at least no references), no provided information about them (e.g., capital, name of representative, date of incorporation, location, etc.), if they have no serious and clean website, if they have no or very few models who have joined them already, that is not a good sign from the starting line.

In addition, social media is very popular today.
Looking at the firm’s social networking sites will give you an idea of the firm’s corporate culture. It would be a way to see if the selected agency suits you or not.

２.Look at the firm’s track record

In the first place, what field of modeling do you want to work for?
Try to ask this question to yourself and find an answer.

For example, if you are not really tall, it would be probably better for you to consider advertising modeling rather than fashion shows.

In that case, try to find out how many advertising modeling works does the agency have done recently?
How many clients do they have and who are they?
It is a good idea to check the firm’s website to see if they have a solid track record.
You can also check the firm’s track record on social networking sites.
Is it the kind of work you are looking for?

3. Avoid paying from scratch

Most of the time good agencies do NOT ask for upfront fee!

Especially when you really starts as model, and probably opt for a freelancing contract (which means that you are not working full-time for a Mother agency and you’re not listed as a Top Model), there is no reason for you to pay to get registered.

Indeed, in many of these cases, agencies do not have any work and make their profit from the model’s registration fee and lesson fees.

So, if there are fees involved in belonging to the agency, beware!

Again, as a freelance model, if a contract isn’t being offered to you first, there is no reason why an agency should be asking you to pay upfront fees.

If an agency asks you to pay for portfolio creation, comp card printing (etc.), it is not justified and we recommend you leaving.

On the side, when it comes to additional services like training, specific lessons to improve your skills and that requires time like money for the agency, it is understandable, but it should stay something optional.

Actually, it is not appropriate for a standard agency to pressure you to take specific services or to sign a contract right then and there without allowing you to take it home to look over for a few days.

In addition, it’s entirely possible that self-proclaimed model agencies are actually scammers or con artists. So you should pay attention to this too before signing anything.

４．Look at the models listed on a website

Nowadays, most modeling agencies have profiles of their models on their websites. Are there a lot of people you think are beautiful and able to model in a way or another? Do you admire some of them? Are there people who you think are not just attractive but look cool too?

Just as nice people gather around nice people, nice models naturally gather at nice agencies.

Therefore, we can assume that high quality models join high quality agencies.

５．Check the location

Where is the agency’s head office located? Do it has branch offices?
For example, if you want to try your hand at modeling in another country, check their track record and connections to other countries, and more importantly, their branch offices in other countries.

If you want to be active in a wide range of fields, we recommend that you take these factors into consideration when selecting a firm.

And when you are finally considering a modeling agency, try to arrange a meeting to get your confirmation.

６． Ask all your questions

Before joining an office, there is always an interview.

So when you go to the interview, try to pay attention to the atmosphere in the agency offices and the staff’s friendliness.

Do the staff appears to be busy and interacting with clients and models? Do they seem genuinely engaged with you in conversation? Are any awkward moments? On the contrary, do you feel like you are at home?

If you feel something is wrong, you should probably make an end to it while you can because the modeling agency you end up signing with will be people you’ll be interacting with for the duration of your contract.

Then, don’t be afraid to ask questions and get clarification on anything you don’t understand. Because it is the agency’s job to explain you about its methods and contracts.

Besides, do not hesitate to make a list of questions ahead of time so you don’t forget anything during the interview.

Here again, you can try to see how the agency answer run-of-the-mill questions agencies are accustomed to addressing.

And there should be no reason why the agency should get defensive or not provide you with answers for simple and trivial questions.

Do not forget that the way an agency interacts with you from day 1 is a great way to get an idea of what moving forward with it would look like once you enroll in the agency.

So we have covered the main areas to think about and check for details before enrolling in any agency.

Do you want to try in the end? Do you want to shine? Do you want to be on stage or express yourself in front of people?

If the answer is yes, you should first consider finding a safe and nice place which you would like to register at.

So you’d better make sure you’re picking an agency that you look forward to working with.

And this not just because the agency is the biggest and the best, that is necessarily the one you need.

Indeed, if you feel uncomfortable or get a bad feeling that something’s not right, it’s likely a sign that it’s not a good fit.

Take your time to find the right one for you!

And for that, we hope this article could bring you some real tips.

Popular model agencies in Japan with foreign talents when thinking to the upcoming year 2021

11/11/2020 / By 

So far, 2020 has been a tough year worldwide.

The influence of the new corona virus caused a global recession and many companies were forced to close…

In some places in Europe, the lock-down starts again…

And as we are about to enter the new year but the situation is still uncertain…

On the other hand, the situation in Japan is somehow returning to the normal state compared to other western countries.

The economy also seems to be turning around step by step, and major cities such as Shibuya and Shinjuku are progressively returning to the bustling state they used to know.

In addition, the Tokyo Olympics are still supposed to be held next year but the situation can change while the winter season is coming.

And I think that many foreign people living in Japan and foreigners who want to come to Japan when the outbreak will calm down are worried about the working situation in the country of the rising sun.

Especially because the living expenses in big cities like Tokyo, are high and the rents are also quite expensive even now, whereas the covid has made the salaries reducing, so before coming it is important to consider those things.

So if some of you plan to come, finding a job or even several ones if you are allowed to, can be an option to get enough money to live here.
As a foreigner, model agencies can be again an option.

So here is some advice to help you start and find agencies you can rely on.

1) Find a company with a long experience and achievements

This point is very important.

Because the bankruptcy rate of a company in Japan is reaching 94% in the 10 years following its creation.

Therefore, look for companies that have been established for more than 20 years rather than companies that have only 5 or 6 years of experience.

2) Find out how many foreign people are registered in the agencies

If the number of registered foreign talents is quite high, it is assumed that there will be more jobs opportunities for them.

So you can check the website of the agencies you have a interest in at first to have a rough idea of its situation before thinking about enrolling.

You can then have a look on the registered models and the achievements of the agency.

If there is no achievements mentioned, this is probably not a good sign…

３）Check the information you find

Indeed, you can have a look on different medias, platforms, SNS like Instagram or Twitter to see whether the content you find on the website is true or not.

Today, many companies/agencies work carefully on their image and use a lot SNS so you can quickly make your opinion on the content you find.

Then, after checking the information, you can consider enrolling.

Because this not just about the physical appearance. So if you are not so confident on your own appearance, you still can try to put forward other abilities to make the difference.

And then try to use your different skills (languages, acting or playing music abilities…) and in order to increase your chance to find jobs.

If you want to give it a try, do not hesitate to have a look then at our website.

Chat Noir

With branch offices in Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore and Los Angeles, and foreign models from 45 countries enrolled in our agency, we can surely find a way to help you.

Models, promotional models, interpreters, translators, narrators, actors, performers…

We have more than 1500 talents already who tried to challenge in our agency. So why not you?

We are even focusing on global activities from now, and we are also working on new services for the near future to give the opportunity to our models to challenge overseas, in partnership with local offices in Europe and in the United States.

So this not just about challenging in Japan but even worldwide.

And by the way, you can contact us, making inquiries in Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Chinese.

So even with the impact of the covid-19 we can keep on moving forward and do our utmost to get over this situation.

No time to waste! Time to challenge !!

At a turning point as regards the Black models

10/9/2020 / By 


In recent years, the number of major brand companies using black models has increased.

That is the feeling I have as the CEO of Chat Noir, where we work with many different talents from all over the world.
And I can see over the past few months, significant changes regarding the black model community.

画像に alt 属性が指定されていません。ファイル名: 1.jpg

Originally, I think that many people had not even noticed clearly and understood the racial discrimination worldwide until recently, when a major event occurred on May 25, 2020, on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I guess that the name of George Floyd, sounds familiar to many of us since then…

Indeed, this social issue has been widely taken up from that moment but many people did not know much about racial discrimination here in Japan before that (and I have to admit I was one of them … 💦).

Before, I felt probably not that much concern somehow as we Japanese have mainly heard about the concept of “racism” at school while studying History and Morality, or watching movies like it was “just” a part of the past or even “just” a fiction.

This concept is often considered as a social minority issue, like for the LGBT/LGBTI community, sometimes called sexual minorities and it seems to mean for some people that they are big enough to be considered as the majority in a way or big enough to be heard. But is that mean that these so-called “minorities” should be treated in a different way because their are not part of the “majority”?

画像に alt 属性が指定されていません。ファイル名: 7-1024x683.jpg

In my opinion, all kind of discrimination should stop and, even if it would be difficult to reach that goal, at least those discrimination should reduce significantly to become isolated cases, to become somehow the real minority.

And in the fashion industry, things are slowly but surely changing.
Besides, in Japan as well, the number of brands wanting to work in a different way, with Mixed-race, Black, Asian (and not just Caucasian) talents for more diversity has increased recently.

In the case of our company, we also try to change things and hire people from different backgrounds, regardless of their ethnicity or sexuality.

And I really like to see some change in the Japanese modern society.
As an instance, this October 2020, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw an ad with a black woman model for the brand Chloe at the bus stop. This is still not so common here so I appreciate to see that kind of things like for other famous worldwide brands which already make visible changes (Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci, ZARA…) but it takes time to influence and change mentalities…
And I would prefer not be surprised anymore, because it would mean that it would have become normal in a way.

画像に alt 属性が指定されていません。ファイル名: S__5160962-1024x860.jpg

So while hoping for a better future, I will also do what I can do for now as an owner of a modeling agency that employs foreign models and will try to put forward the beauty and the best from each model, regardless of the skin color, to serve the industry with a different approach.

The necessary things to become an active model overseas…

7/1/2020 / By 



In early 2020, we were caught up in a corona vortex that no one in the world has expected.

It’s been about four months since the corona vortex kept the business and economy unpredictable.

It is a situation where the future outlook cannot be anticipated yet,

and the entertainment industry, is likely to remain self-restrained.

However, it doesn’t stop completely even with the lock-down effect.

There are a lot of entertainment industries that apply a social distance policy, but keep moving.

So in this situation, it is important from now to find new ideas new concepts that no one can think of to hope to survive economically.

I am currently in Los Angeles, California, but the United States itself doesn’t know how the situation is going to be in the following weeks, months… and the number of infected people continues to increase…

How can a person doing business in the entertainment industry, both in the US and in Japan, is supposed to survive in this harsh environment?

Well, after doing some research and contacting partners, we found out that there are still some regions of the world in which the modeling industry is running despite of the outbreak.

Although fashion shows and exhibitions where many people gather are not held in Japan yet, photo shooting and program recording other than shows are slowly running again in the big city of Tokyo.

In other Asian countries as well, the modeling industry is gradually starting again like in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Singapore.

It is also the case in some places in Europe, where the situation is somehow under control such as Italy and France.

However, the United States and Brazil where the number of infected people is still increasing, it will take a little longer to recover.

Therefore, trying to move forward with corona, we have decided to develop even more our global relationships and focus more on our first-class models, willing to go and take their chance overseas.

In this perspective, we think it is more than ever before important to develop partnerships and work hand in hand to go through this hard time.

So from now, we are going to work with overseas model producer Shoko Nishio, who has experienced sending many Japanese talents around the world and, in particular, in Milan and Paris collections.

I want to work abroad!

I want to test my potential!

I want to build a career!

I could go abroad!

This is my last chance considering my age!

It is time to act, not to think anymore!

But is it okay even if I don’t speak English?

So, as long as you have a strong motivation we can help you. Even if your English is not that good.

People who act and study hard can find much quicker than those who dream what they look for and can finally reach their ideal self.

And Chat Noir Co., Ltd. is a model agency which supports models and talents aiming to go abroad and realize their dreams, as long as they work hard for to make it!

Let’s discover the World together!

So let’s do our best from now on, trying to conquer Asia first and then America and Europe, when the outbreak effect will calm down…

Model, 未分類,

I want this blog to be read by those who are likely to lose by the corona virus.

4/18/2020 / By 

The world has been invaded by the new coronavirus.

The world has become such an era, environment and situation.

 

Everyone in the world has turned into quarantine mode,

and the usual daily lives have disappeared.

Little by little, the economy has became more uncertain,

More time will not be able to satisfy the desire for fun,

More people are becoming frustrated.

Suddenly I was placed in a situation where I could not see the future.

 

 

Everyone has their own ideas,

It’s been 25 years since I ran a model promotion girl agency.

I’ve been in this situation for over a month now,

There is something I want to convey to our personnel.

 

If you suddenly lose your job and are lost

To raise the product value of oneself in this situation now.

I think this is the only one.

I’m not an economic critic,

so what will happen to the world economy

and Japan’s economy in the future?

I can’t read,

However,

For 25 years, the feeling that I have been involved in this event industry is

Even if the corona is about to end,

To return to the situation like two months ago,

I assume that it will take terrible time.

Use our models and companions

Manufacturers, retailers, etc.

How long will it take for any business to sell?

Reduce labor costs.

The event industry like us

I was in a good condition like this one

We assume that it will take a considerable amount of time to return.

That is why

I have something I want everyone to do now.

It’s been spent this time now

To increase the value of your product.

That is also a job properly.

 

We have entered an era in which only people with commercial value survive.

Even now, even amateurs such as Youtube, zoom and live distribution,
There are contents that can be expressed even
by people without name recognition.

In the present era, there is content that can be

transmitted to all over the world.
And it’s free.

Express your value.
It’s very important.

As a speaker,
As a dancer,
As a yoga teacher,
As an instructor of something,

Even if you have nothing to express yourself
You only have your own
You can heal your opponent,

Create a place where you can feel at ease,

Make time that the other person thinks is fun,

There is always a personality that only that person can do.

I may be the only one not aware of it,

I want you to notice.

Companies want people with high commercial value.

The same was true of influencers a long time ago.

How about now?

Appointed Instagram influencers with 50,000 or 100,000 followers
Even if you advertise the product,

It is said that it does not lead to sales profit so much,

Previously, the quotes for influencer advertising costs were
It was said that “1 follower is 3-4 yen”,

Now that amount is also drastically decreasing.

There are remarkable changes in the times.

Still,

A rabbit,

Now, increase the product value of your own,
The coronavirus is over,

When the world economy started to turn around,

“I want to collaborate with you on our products”

It’s about becoming someone you think.

Official live distribution of Chanoir Office

The content called this live distribution is
It ’s a perfect place to express yourself
think.

As an official live (differentiated from amateurs),
You can earn an hourly wage,
There are also bonuses.

However,
I don’t want you to misunderstand
The work you do for money does not continue.

because,
It’s worth doing.

I want you to work to find your worth.

That is something I would like to say to our employees,
If you work every month for money,
I want you to resign now.

Work should be something that you seek and create for yourself.

Our company, as soon as the coronavirus developed in the world,

It happened to contact the business

With a company that deals with content such as official live and Youtube,

I signed up for the contract on that day.

Really it happens,
There are dozens of sales contacts via email and phone every day,
I happened to be in the office
I just picked up the phone.

If no coronavirus has developed,
First of all, I never answer the phone of the company,
Even if someone in the company connects the sales contact to me
I think I would have gone through.

Perhaps it was destined now.

I thought at that time.

Profession of model and promotion girl …

It may be old.

Even if the coronavirus is over.

Even if the coronavirus is over,

Maybe

The business I’ve done is

It will be old in the future.

I feel that the times are changing.

We have 1500 people.

The Japanese and foreigners from 45 countries have stated that 1500 people are enrolled in our company.

What should we do with these people from now on?

Increase the product value of each person’s individuality!

Only this came out the answer.

I listened to the salesman who came to our company,

Now, even if you don’t have the name recognition, just express yourself and broadcast live
Hourly wages occur!

And it can be delivered not as a general live stream, but as an official live show like the entertainers!
A long time ago, the image of the women who delivered live was:
Perhaps it was like the telephone club that was popular in Japan.

But now, entertainers and artists infiltrate timelessly
It is content.

As you all know,
Youtuber does not get an hourly rate.

It takes too long to make money on Youtube.

However, the live distribution does not have to be so particular about the place and content,

Express yourself and earn an hourly wage.

I am now,
Besides our models and promotional girls who are lost

People who have been doing one thing in a straight line
I am trying to reform into a company that can support those who want to make expression a job.

We support those who want to distribute as an official live.

How to earn on a Live stream

4/12/2020 / By 

 

It is abrupt,

now,

In Japan, online live services and live communities for live distribution
is now popular,

not only in Japan but

Nearby countries as well, China , South Korea, Malaysia and

Singapore.

And it is becoming  more popular all over the world, including the United States and Europe.

 

 

There are about 20 kinds of video distribution services just as I know.

For example, Facebook, Instagram, TwitCasting, etc.

If you have registered each app,
You can easily distribute videos.

I often hear in Japan,

LINE Live

17Live

Bigo

Mix channel

Pococha etc …

It is said to be famous.

 

However, depending on why you started the Live broadcast,
If you live only to become famous,
That would be one of the uses,
Now that live broadcasting can be paid hourly, there is also a bonus
It’s also a popular factor for anyone starting a Live broadcast.

First,

I want to be able to earn like an entertainer by Live distribution!
I want to be famous for Live broadcasting!

If you think

We recommend that you belong to an office that is strong in live broadcasting.

because,

 

Currently, 90% of people who are considered top level
Because it is an official Live through the Agent!

For that reason! !

The agent that is well-versed in live broadcasting,
There is a professional adviser,
Or contract with such a company through the agent.

Therefore,

those who changed from  general live to an agent live,
On average, profits are up 120%.

 

When you decide to become officially Live through the agent,
Certainly, when you go through the agent,
30% or 40% may be deducted.
* That is because the agent also makes a profit.

However, general  those who do not go through the agent
Many people don’t know how to earn or become famous.
So-called lack of study and research.

It is better to go Live through the agent.
If you want to earn or become famous,
Reaching that goal is still strong! !

It’s the same mechanism as the entertainment world.
Even if you do your best, you can’t beat a major production.

Good work also comes into production.

 

 

 

 

You started out as live, but are you having trouble with this?

I started it myself, but I can hardly make it …

It is not an official live, so there is no hourly wage…

I feel lonely when doing it alone …

Motivation of myself does not rise because there are few people watching
I don’t know how it works …

I hear that live streaming is effective when linked with Twitter and TIKTOK,
But I don’t know how to interlock …

etc···

 

We recommend that you belong to a agent that is strong in live broadcasting! !

Here is a company that is strong in live distribution

→ Model and Promotional Agency ChatNoir

 

There are more than 100 live broadcast models in ChatNoir

 

And as advice for beginners,

I don’t know where the live stream suits me …
Livers’ meetings, off-party, goods sales,
I want the agent to share plans with the fans and increase the synergistic effect …

In the agent, we also set up information exchange meetings between livers, I want you to have many benefits as a river of the agent etc…

Rather than working hard alone,
You can talk to the agent and get excited with your manager.
(Although it’s your own job, it goes without saying that your efforts are the best.)

 

When you start it

Start at the moment you want to do it!

 

Not official!

 

Or if you can’t sign an advisor through the agent, we recommend you to belong to the agent!

And

When and at what timing
You can play live on any schedule.

(It’s also a big advantage of the live that you can do it at home)

The live camera can be set up as an image or as if you were making it.

 

 

How to endure the future era,
I think it is time to be tested.

 

Taking advantage of the situation of the world that has become a self-restraint system with this coronavirus
(If the number of gamers is increasing, the live viewing is also increasing.)

Hope more people can use this situation as soon as possible! !

 

Not that there is no job.
You just don’t capture your work with wisdom and technology.
That is the path you need to be successful.

So some people ask sometimes : 

 

How does Chat Noir manage to remain a popular modeling and promotional agency?

 

As said above Chat Noir has been in the fashion and modeling business for 24 years. It has been a major space player in the promotion of models, promotional models and many kind of artistic talents. 

Currently, there are more than 1500 registered talents and foreign models from more than 45 different countries.

The agency is composed of a head office based in Tokyo and branch offices located in Osaka, Singapore, and Los Angeles for now.  

And as we keep on growing, we plan to open new branches in the world in the future…

But how do we succeed in growing that way? What is THE secret to remain active and a main actor in the modeling industry?

Well, first of all… 

Part 1: Good human resource education

※ We are very enthusiastic when it comes to the training of our human resource. Besides, the CEO herself provides training and lessons at office, in line with the company’s philosophy.  
※ What does the client want?
※Where is the client’s success?

Thinking that way helps you to develop your business. 

If you want your own success, you need first to be aware that there is no success without the success of the client.
The focus is on doing the job, keeping in mind what the client wants, rather than just doing the job in itself. 

Part 2: Manager is kind and polite (follow-up is great!)

* Upon receiving a request from a client, we pick up human resources from in-office information data on what kind of human resources are preferable.

In there, clarify what the client wants,
For example, those who have sales ability, those who have high ability as receptionist, those who have high questionnaire collection rate, those who have excellent language skills etc. … We will pick up from the data what each is looking for.

The repetition rate is very high because we send in human resources after carefully checking what the client wants.
In addition to providing the talent, after completion the client will also see the evaluations they feel, which will then be stored in company data as a talent score.

 

Part 3: High quality human resources

* How do you get high quality human resources?

There is a mechanism there.

High-quality human resources are still popular, not to mention wherever they go.
In order to secure high quality human resources,
Chat Noir pays its staff with a higher fee than many of other agencies, even if the sale margins are low sometimes.

That’s because we have a lot of jobs, so even if each sales percentage goes down, we focus on acquiring a great number of clients.

So think about it!

Even if you pay a fee of 1,000 yen higher to human resources than other companies, the talent of the person will generate value twice or three times as high.

That’s why the repeat rate from clients is really high.

Part 4: A large number of people can pick up the desired human resources

* Every day, meticulous interviews are arranged, and the interviewer makes a strict examination and evaluates.

After all, we recommend to the client staff with the highest scores first and adapt to each kind of mission.

But finding the right people can be difficult sometimes and it is not just about the physical aspect. Personal abilities are also very important. 

That is why managers’ mission is crucial. Indeed, get to know the talent individually, finding THE perfect talent for the mission according to the client’s needs takes time. 
But among a large group like 1,500 people, you’re pretty sure to find the THE one!

Part 5: The salary of human resources is higher than other companies!

* This is very important for the registered personnel.
Chat Noir is not focusing on having beautiful and nice styled talents.
We interview for high quality and talented people every day.

Especially in the present era, being bilingual is almost a must. Chat Noir also has talents who can speak three or four languages and work with people from different backgrounds as former cabin attendants, former teachers or even former police officers…

This is what makes the difference.

How was it?

Did you know why Chat Noir was so special already? lol 

Hope anyway that this article will help you.

Especially as from 2020 onwards, Chat Noir will increasingly look for more and more good human resources across Japan and around the world…

Thus, thanks to all of you talents, we will do our best to keep on growing in order to keep that special place we have, as a real bridge between clients and our human resources…

The rental costume service is the key!
