"External Director" Referral Service
Breath New Life into Management
*Please note that all the services are only offered in Japan.
This service selects and introduces the most suitable candidates for external directors from among our registered advisors. Many of these advisers have experiences as executives and managers of listed companies with abundant know-how and personal connections. Many of them also have high expertise in specialized fields.
Background
The number of external directors of companies listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is increasing year by year, and the total number of directors is over 5,000. A role of external directors is becoming more important. Both the number of people appointed and the ratio of directors to employees in one company are increasing, and in 2019, the majority was "3 or more" and "1/3". (See the figure below)
However, when the Corporate Governance Code is revised in 2021, we can expect that there would be a shortage of about 1,000 independent external directors. The diversity of gender and nationality is also behind that of overseas, and if the number of concurrent external directors increases, the effectiveness may decrease.
Pasona Group can select and introduce the best candidates for customers with solid experience from a network of about 7,000 advisors.
