Export Branded Japanese & English CVs
in One Click.
Stop formatting the same candidate three times
Japanese hiring managers demand strict local formats, while international clients expect clean, branded English profiles. Your consultants shouldn't be doing that data entry by hand.
The manual way
- Hand-translate the same English resume into a 履歴書 and a 職務経歴書, field by field
- Fight Word tables that break the moment you change a font size or margin
- Every consultant uses slightly different colors, fonts, and templates
- Manually blank out names, photos, and employers — and hope nothing slips through
- 45+ minutes of formatting per candidate instead of sourcing and closing
With ResumeKobo
- Import the candidate once — the Japanese package and English CV render together
- Pixel-accurate templates with consistent dates, addresses, and furigana
- Agency branding applied automatically, identically, for every consultant
- One-click PII redaction with agency-wide defaults nobody can forget
- A client-ready, branded submission package in minutes — first to the hiring manager

The detailed career history sheet: clean reverse-chronological blocks that highlight projects, key metrics, and accomplishments in formal business Japanese — role-specific layouts included.

Bilingual workflows, built for professional recruiters
Unlike consumer resume tools, ResumeKobo is designed around one thing: your team's candidate submission workflow.
Bilingual extraction engine
Drag in an existing PDF — English or Japanese — and AI structures and translates the candidate's career details into one bilingual profile. No re-typing.
Instant candidate blinding
Redact names, photos, date of birth, gender, contact details, or employer names with one click — before shortlists ever leave your agency.
Bespoke templates, built free
Don't get forced into rigid, identical layouts. Send us the format your agency already uses and we'll build it into your account at no cost.
Native translation & keigo
Upgrade candidate descriptions with natural Japanese business terminology and polite keigo structures — furigana added automatically.
Split-screen live preview
Edit details in a guided form on the left and watch the real export-quality PDF update on the right. What you see is what the client receives.
Org-wide brand control
Invite your whole consulting team under one account, share templates and PII defaults, and keep every candidate presentation consistent.
Agency branding
Standardize submissions. Elevate your brand.
Every CV you send is a business card for your agency. Make yours instantly recognizable in hiring managers' inboxes — and unmistakably professional.
Flexible header layouts
A simple, elegant brand accent bar — or a full agency header with your address, consultant contacts, and recruitment license number.
Recolor to your identity
Upload your logo once and every shokumu and English CV picks up your corporate accent color. The official rirekisho grid stays untouched.
Automated privacy footers
“Strictly Private & Confidential” disclaimers and optional crop marks on every page, applied automatically.
Lock brand guidelines org-wide
Branding lives at the agency level. Every document your consultants export looks like it came from the same professional firm — because it did.
From messy source file to client-ready in under a minute

Export & present
Download print-ready PDFs of the Japanese and English documents. Need another format for the same candidate? It's already pre-filled.
Cost savings
The ROI of automated formatting
Manual formatting is an invisible drain on billing capacity. Bilingual recruiters create far more value developing clients and placing candidates than editing Word documents.
Assume a bilingual recruiter earning ¥8,000,000 over 2,000 working hours a year — an opportunity cost of ¥4,000 per hour. At 45 minutes of manual conversion, proofing, translation, and branding per candidate:
The savings multiply with your team's volume:
| CVs per month (team) | Hours reclaimed / month | Labor value reclaimed | ResumeKobo cost | Net monthly savings | Net annual savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 37.5 h | ¥150,000 | ¥9,950 | ¥140,050 | ¥1,680,600 |
| 100 | 75 h | ¥300,000 | ¥19,900 | ¥280,100 | ¥3,361,200 |
| 200 | 150 h | ¥600,000 | ¥39,800 | ¥560,200 | ¥6,722,400 |
