Where We Work
We started in the vibrant alleyways of Harajuku, but today, our story continues in Takanawa. We’ve set up camp in a repurposed 1969 company dormitory - now thoughtfully restored into a quiet, atelier-style sanctuary for creators. It’s a space that respects its history while providing the focus, spatial breathing room, and collaborative environment we need to do our best work. Surrounded by the grounded, local charm of our new neighborhood, we’re proud to operate at a clearer, more intentional pace.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Because we are building the firm we wished existed; and we're still very much at it.
We're not a big shop with a long tenure to protect. We're a small, deliberate team at an inflection point, building the firm on our own terms; which means the people who join now aren't hired into a machine, they're helping build one. If that sounds like more responsibility than most roles offer, it is. It's also more upside. -
We're not looking for headcount. We're looking for owners.
Conduit is built for people who want to build, not just execute; recruiters and search professionals who've proven they can do the work and are now looking for something they can actually own. -
Be good, be human.
Do it well.
Everybody eats.
We built our values around how we actually want to work, not how it looks on a slide.

Hybrid, autonomous, and intentional about the time we do spend together.
Nobody's required to be in the office on a set schedule. We're a young firm, and we've chosen to be deliberate about when we actually get together rather than default to five days a week out of habit — if a day in the office doesn't add something (a client meeting, a debrief, thinking through a search together), it's not mandatory.
Autonomy here means we trust you to manage your time and your pipeline; the work and the results speak for themselves.That said, we still designed a physical space for a reason. Our office is built to feel like a home away from home, not a rotation of desks — so when we do come together, it's somewhere worth showing up to.

Transparent, performance-driven, and structured to give you real ownership.
We believe compensation should track the same principle as everything else we do: no hidden costs, no surprises. Structure varies by level: more senior roles carry equity and a greater share of what you build, while every role combines a competitive base with meaningful, performance-based upside tied directly to the value you create, not just activity.
We'd rather walk you through the specifics for your situation on a call than reduce it to a bullet point here - get in touch and we'll be straightforward about the numbers, the same way we expect you to be straightforward with us. -
Deliberate, direct, and genuinely collaborative, at a pace that respects the work.
We move at an intentional pace, in a workspace we've designed to reflect that; this isn't a grind-it-out floor. We believe in true collaboration: sharing responsibility and working through the hard parts together, not just being easy to get along with.
Communication is honest and direct, including radical candor when it's warranted, because we're genuinely invested in each other's success, not just our own numbers.We're also two decades into this craft between the founders, so the standard is high. We under-promise and over-deliver for our clients, and we hold ourselves to the same bar internally. But high standards and a human, supportive culture aren't in tension here. They're the same thing.
