Q&A
For Foreign Residents
(non-Japanese)
qI have passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2.
Do I have to take lessons on the Japanese Language Learning Site to use Bloom in Japan?
The Japanese Language Learning Site is mainly for foreign residents who want to pass the N4 test, which is said to be the minimum required level to find a job in Japan, or those who are worried about their own Japanese language skills. If you have already mastered your own Japanese language skills, please use the site on a voluntary basis. However, before matching you with a company, a staff of the management company will have an interview with you to make an assessment of your Japanese language skills. There is a plan for the Japanese Language Learning Site to have a program for those who aim to pass N2 or higher.
qIs there a Japanese language learning site for intermediate level and above?
It is currently under development. Please wait for a while.
qCan foreigners living abroad register with Bloom in Japan?
Yes, you can register. Bloom in Japan and the Japanese Language Learning Site are open to all foreign residents in Japan and abroad. However, if you are coming to Japan in the future, please be sure to state your educational background and qualifications as they are required for your visa status.
qHow long can I use the Japanese Language Learning Site?
One year from the start of use. You can extend the period even if you do not make much progress in your studies. However, please note that an additional charge will be incurred for each year of use. For other agreements, please read the Terms of Use for Applicants.
For Japanese Companies
qWhat kind of foreign human resources can you introduce for my company?
We can introduce international students and foreign residents living in Japan, and foreigners currently in other Asian countries, with a focus on those who have N3 level Japanese language skills and who wish to work in Japan. However, since we are not a supervisory organization, we cannot introduce foreign residents who came or will come to Japan under the technical internship system unless they are able to transfer to the specified skills worker. If you wish to employ foreign employees under the technical internship system, please contact your local supervisory organization (union, etc.).
qIs it true that a foreign resident with permanent resident status can be employed in the same way as a Japanese employee?
Yes, foreign employees with permanent resident status and the foreign resident spouse of a Japanese national can be employed in the same ways as Japanese employees. There are no restrictions on working hours like international students and no restrictions on working periods like specified skill workers, and they can work in the same way as a Japanese national because they have a car license, own a home, or are raising children just like Japanese nationals.
qIs there any good way to improve our company's working environment so that we can be selected by foreign employees?
Global Human Resource Support Hamamatsu is implementing the "Working Environment Improvement Project for Accepting Foreigners in the Company," and certifying excellent companies. Our foreign employee development professionals analyze current situation in the work environment, set goals, and support improvements. We expect that foreign employees will be able to work with peace of mind at outstanding workplaces, so please take advantage of this opportunity to visualize your international reputation.
qIs it possible to employ a foreign residents directly from overseas?
Yes, it is possible. If the foreign residents has graduated from a four-year course from college or university, has proven that he/she has professional knowledge and skills, and the work to be performed after employment is similar to his/her professional skills, it is possible to obtain a status of residence for technical, humanities, or international services. If not, he/she can be employed under the status of visa for specified activities such as internship or specified skills visa. Please ask us about your request as it depends on the type of employment.
qWhat is the level of Japanese language skills of the applicants?
We are aiming to improve the Japanese language skills of our applicants to the N4 level, which is the minimum level required to work in Japan, through our Japanese language learning website. We have an environment in place to monitor Japanese language skills and learning trends, and our dedicated Japanese language teachers, who are also able to evaluate their language proficiency, conduct interviews and screenings to evaluate the applicants. We will introduce our foreign employees to companies in a way so that they can understand the Japanese language skills of our applicants.
qWhen should we pay the introduction fee for foreign employees?
The fee is based on a performance-based system, and must be paid within one month after the foreign employee has started working. Please note that a fee of 10,000 yen (tax not included) will be charged if the applicant progresses to the interview stage even if the employment is not successful.
