I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robert Walters (Tokyo) in Mar 2023
Interview
I was first asked for my availability next week. When I gave it, I was told that they're actually completely "swamped" for next week and will contact me again next Friday to follow-up. On Thursday, I get an email advising there's an interview scheduled for Friday. Not asking for an interviewing, advising there already is one. After last-minute arrangements with my supervisor, I was approved for time-off and replied that I am available for the interview. Within a few minutes, I get another email advising the interview has to be cancelled because all positions are taken. I couldn't believe they booked and interview and cancelled it within the hour. When they offered to reschedule another within a few months, I asked if there can be some assurance that these last-minute cancellations won't happen and I never got a response from them again. This was extremely unprofessional!

I met with 6 people in total, the interviews were fine but it lasted for more than 1.5 months. They asked all the questions that other people were mentioning here.
1) phone interview/screening: general questions based on resume
2) manager interview: get to meet each team's manager and get to know about the teams
3) country manager interview: mock-trial for headhunting
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
self-introduction, what interested you to become a headhunter, etc..
Had met several consultants from several teams. Also at the end we went quick drink with few consultants and it was the final interview. Until then it is the process of the interview so be careful.
