Land Your Next Job Faster.

Your Continuous Career Partner

SkillBasedMatching's RTR service is more than just finding your next job; it's a commitment to your long-term career growth. We'll help you secure your next role, then continue the cycle, actively helping you to find and land 'better' opportunities until you reach your ultimate dream job.

Our service is a combined program of Right-to-Represent (RTR) and Job Application services. It covers the extensive upfront work involved in your job search, including a crucial career strategy call with our Placement Team.

Specifically, your program includes:

• Meticulous review and optimization of your resume for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
• Alignment of your LinkedIn profile for a strong professional impression.
• Setup of your dedicated job search email and tracking sheet.
• Access to our specialized team and resources, facilitating a high volume of job applications on your behalf.
• Direct outreach and follow-up with up to 9 people at every organization we apply to, which accounts for 60-80 hours of work monthly.

We've already successfully placed candidates in our network through our internal efforts and strong working relationships with headhunters, recruiters, hiring managers, and employment agencies. Our success rate is 95% over a 6-month period, and 50% to 80% within the first 30 to 60 days.

Why Our Approach Works

At SkillBasedMatching, we believe that the most impactful job opportunities are often internal and unadvertised, rather than publicly listed. Simply applying through crowded public channels isn't enough to stand out in today's competitive market, where high volumes and ATS filters can limit visibility.

That's why our primary focus is on Direct Internal Access and Referrals. Instead of generic applications or hoping to uncover listings, we strategically identify and target specific roles that align with your goals. We then craft highly personalized, high-quality messages to decision-makers who are actively hiring within our ever-increasing network.

We prioritize these direct connections because they are designed to bypass traditional queues and lead directly to genuine interview opportunities. Our approach is rooted in transparency, strategic outreach, and tangible results, ensuring every effort we make is focused on the opportunities most likely to accelerate your placement.

Over the Next 30 Days

We're dedicated to swiftly landing you interviews and securing your next role. Here's how we'll do it:

• 400+ Targeted Applications: We'll submit personalized applications to over 400 pre-approved jobs, including unadvertised internal openings.
• Strategic Networking: We engage in strategic networking with headhunters, employers, and recruiters on your behalf, in addition to following up with up to 9 contacts at each company applied to.
• Professional Branding: We'll optimize your LinkedIn and resume to ensure you stand out using our proprietary system (proven 5-12% interview rate per 100 applications).
• Interview Preparation: You'll gain confidence through mock interviews designed to refine your responses and technique.
• Salary Negotiation: We'll equip you with the skills to confidently negotiate your offer.

Job Search Email & Authorization

Before we can begin applying for jobs on your behalf, a dedicated email account used solely for your job search is necessary. This email address should not be your personal email used for daily activities. SkillBasedMatching can create this dedicated email account for you, and we will provide you with the login credentials.

You authorize SkillBasedMatching to act as your RTR and apply for jobs on your behalf only after you have reviewed and approved the specific positions, taking into account the following criteria:

• Locations
• Benefits
• Compensation
• Company Culture
• Required Skills and Experience
• Job Responsibilities
• Career Growth Opportunities
• Work-Life Balance Considerations

Once we secure you interviews, you'll work with our placement team, and sometimes even with headhunters or recruiters who may have direct contact with the employers. These sessions are tailored to the exact types of roles we are placing you in, so we can help you refine your interview skills and boost your confidence going into the real thing.

For jobs we secure within our direct network, employers cover all fees, so there's no cost to you.

Within the first week, we'll optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile. By week two, we begin aggressive outreach with up to 200+ applications and follow-ups with 9 contacts per company. Most clients start seeing interview opportunities within 2-3 weeks of starting our program. You'll also have access to real-time updates on your search, detailing all applications, follow-ups, and scheduled interviews.

Please note that while our goal is to connect you with opportunities as quickly as possible, the typical timeframe to secure a job offer through our RTR service averages between 1 to 4 months. We see clients with reasonable expectations getting hired within 2 months, though federal or executive-level jobs may take longer because of their typically longer, more involved hiring cycles.

Do you offer any guarantees or allow cancellations?

Yes, our service is month-to-month with no long-term commitment, allowing you to pause or cancel at any time.

Refund Eligibility within the First 30 Days: Refunds are available only within the first 30 days of using our service, with percentages based on the week of cancellation:

• Week 1 (Day 1-7): 75% refund.
• Week 2 (Day 8-14): 50% refund.
• Week 3 (Day 15-21): 25% refund.
• Week 4 (Day 22-30): 25% refund. No refunds are provided after 30 days of service.

How Refunds Are Applied: For ELITE and Success-based Plans, the refund percentages apply to your initial one-time setup fee ($450, or $295, respectively).

To pause or cancel, simply send your request to support@mg.skillbasedmatching.com. This means even after we help you land a job, you can pause your service and easily reactivate your RTR access whenever you're ready for your next career move.

We specialize in a wide array of roles across numerous industries, with a particular focus on high-paying jobs over $100k. Our proprietary application and follow-up system has proven highly effective in finding opportunities that match your specific skills and career goals.

• 1. What is the upfront cost for the Success-based Plan? To activate your service, there is a one-time $295 upfront setup fee.
• 2. When do my post-placement payments begin? Your payments only begin 30 days after your new job start date, following our success in securing your role. For jobs secured within our direct network, there is no cost to you. For jobs secured outside of our direct network, a success fee applies, equivalent to 5% of your first year's salary, payable over 5 months.
• 3. What is the maximum I will pay for this plan? For jobs secured within our direct network, there is no maximum cost as employers cover all fees. For jobs secured outside of our direct network, your total payments (including the $295 upfront fee) will not exceed $6,000. Once this cap is reached, your payment obligations end.
• 4. What happens if I don't secure a job through SkillBasedMatching? If we do not secure you a job (either in or out of network), you will not owe any post-placement payments. Your only payment is the initial $295 upfront fee.
• 5. What services are included in the Success-based Plan? This plan includes initial profile assessment, crucial resume & LinkedIn optimization, and strategic support with 50 applications per week. You also get the benefit of payments being contingent on our success in securing your role, up to the payment cap.
• 6. Can I pause or cancel this plan? Yes, you can pause or cancel the service at any time. If you cancel your service, your payment obligations (including post-placement payments) will cease according to our terms.
• 7. What if I find a job on my own after paying the upfront fee? Your payment obligation for the post-placement success fee is contingent on our success in securing your new role. If you find a job through your own efforts, you are not obligated to pay any post-placement success fee. The initial $295 upfront fee covers the setup and initial services provided.

Yes, absolutely! Our commitment extends beyond your current placement to your long-term career growth.

Upon securing a job (whether through SkillBasedMatching or by your own efforts), your active job application service will cease, and any applicable post-placement fees would be determined by how the job was secured. You can then easily reactivate your access whenever you're ready for your next career move.

SkillBasedMatching is designed to be your continuous career partner, actively seeking and placing you in 'better' opportunities until you land your ultimate dream job.

Are your prices subject to change, and how does this affect me?

Yes, our pricing is dynamic and may change. The job market is incredibly large and competitive, and we need to adapt our pricing to our evolving capacity and the high demand for our services.

However, once you are a subscribed client, your price is locked in. As long as your subscription remains active, we will always honor the rate you initially signed up with. If you need a break, just pause your service, and you will not be debited. You can resume at your original rate whenever you are ready.

If you cancel your subscription, any future resubscription will be at the new rates at that time.

You can pause or cancel by sending an email to support@mg.skillbasedmatching.com.

What kind of employers does SkillBasedMatching work with?

We work with a diverse range of multinational clients, including prominent names like Toyota, Sony, SoftBank Group, Keyence, Nintendo, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Honda, NTT Docomo, Denso, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Canon, Seven & I Holdings, Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Nippon, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Mercari, Rakuten, Line Corporation, Netflix and many other multinational companies. These are primarily Japanese corporations with significant operations as US entities, and vice versa. They are actively seeking to hire qualified candidates for their global operations.

This is due to the unprecedented challenges of the AI-driven job market and the high demand for strategic support in a hyper-competitive landscape. We're committed to keeping our services effective, but with millions of IT workers in the U.S. alone, and over 65 million healthcare workers globally, our capacity to deliver highly personalized services can fluctuate. The global biotech market is also projected to grow rapidly, reaching $5.71 trillion by 2034.

We leverage our connections with multinational companies in a variety of industries to help fill demand. This is especially true in Japan, which is experiencing a huge upsurge in demand for highly skilled workers, with a projected shortage of IT workers and companies actively looking to hire international talent. We are committed to helping you leverage these remote and hybrid opportunities.

We understand that the job search process can be challenging, so we've designed a unique approach to help you succeed.

Custom Domain & Email

Q1: What is a custom domain, and why is it important?

A custom domain is a unique web address like yourname.com or yourbrand.com. It provides a highly professional email address (you@yourname.com) and serves as the foundation for your personal brand, giving you an edge over generic email addresses.

Q2: Do you provide the custom domain, or do I need to buy it myself?

Yes, a free custom domain is included with your PREMIUM and ELITE plan. We handle the registration and setup for you as part of our service.

Q3: What if I already own a custom domain?

If you already have a domain, we can help you configure it to work with our service. We'll provide you with the necessary DNS records to connect your domain to our email and website hosting.

Q4: Can I use this email for things other than my job search?

Yes, the custom domain and email address are yours to use as you wish. However, we recommend maintaining it for professional use to maximize its branding benefits.

Online Portfolio & Blog

Q5: What is the online portfolio, and who builds it?

The online portfolio is a professional website and blog hosted on your custom domain. It serves as a centralized hub to showcase your resume, projects, skills, and thought leadership. Our team will design and build the initial portfolio for you based on the information we have from your resume.

Q6: Can I update the content of my online portfolio myself?

Yes, you will have the ability to update and manage the content of your portfolio and blog. We will provide you with a user-friendly interface to make changes as needed.

The average job search timeline is typically 1 to 4 months, though some roles may take longer. If your subscription is active and we haven't been able to secure you a position, we can work with you to reassess your strategy. This includes collaborating with you to **upskill** or **reposition for different roles** that might be a closer market fit. You always have the option to transition to our **Success-based Plan** at any time. This allows you to continue your job search with our full support, but with no monthly fees. Payments are only required if we successfully secure a new role for you, tying our financial success directly to yours. If you find a job on your own after transitioning, you will not owe any post-placement payments.
