6. DIRECT RECRUITING PROCESS
1. NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In order for us to thoroughly understand a company's hiring needs, we first begin by familiarizing ourselves
with the company. We learn about the company's history, business, current condition, future goals and
directions, organizational structure and corporate culture. We then learn about the specific position and
brainstorm with our client to determine the required set of skills, to define the required experience, and to
identify other characteristics necessary for a successful candidate.
2. POSITION SPECIFICATION
After carefully assessing our clients' needs, we prepare a written Position Specification, which outlines the
responsibilities of the position, the qualifications required of the ideal candidate, and the criteria for
success. This guides our search efforts.
3. RESEARCH
Based on the Position Specification, we identify target candidates at target companies from our
database or through research and identification.
4. CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION, INTERVIEW, & EVALUATION
Targeted candidates are contacted directly and are evaluated for their qualifications, level of interest in
the position and potential corporate cultural fit within our clients' organizations. During this period, regular
progress reports are provided to our clients to help them better understand the current market.
5. PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATES & CLIENT INTERVIEWS
Summaries and resumes of the best three to five individuals who most closely fit the Position Specification
are submitted for review. At our clients' convenience, the Consultant schedules a meeting with each
candidate, makes travel arrangements, if necessary, and coordinates reimbursements of any expenses.
After each interview, the Consultant gathers comments and feedback from our clients and each
candidate to reexamine and/or redefine the Position Specification if necessary.
6. REFERENCING OF SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES
Once our clients have selected a final candidate, the Consultant contacts individuals who are capable
of providing insights about the candidate's qualifications. All of the comments from these references,
favorable or unfavorable, are collected and then reviewed with you in order to provide a more
well-defined picture of the candidate and his or her qualifications.
7. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS PACKAGE NEGOTIATION
We can assist you in structuring the compensation and benefit package if requested to do so.
8. COMPLETION OF THE SEARCH
Once the placement is finalized, we will continually be available to support both parties in a successful
integration with the organization.

8. TS2 TESTIMONIALS & SUCCESS STORIES
SQUARE ENIX: SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES & MARKETING
Why did you decide to take the opportunity at Square
Enix?
"I love an opportunity to build an organization. SQEX
has a strong foundation and a good brand. It was a
perfect opportunity for me to expand and build their
North American organization."
Can you tell us a bit about the recent developments
in your career?
"The opportunity to build Warner Bros. worldwide sales
and distribution organization was a great challenge.
The company spent eighteen months testing various
strategies, and when they decided to build an
Mr. Ron Scott, Square Enix’s new SVP of Sales & Marketing
internal stand-alone games group, we had four
months before our first product shipped in North
America and seven months to assemble the European team. It was also interesting to manage the
transition from full time manager at Crave Entertainment to consultant at Warner Home Video, and
then essentially create a full time position to move into at Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment.
Many job search books recommend that you look for opportunities and then find a way to position
yourself to fill the need and it was interesting to see the strategy actually work."
What was the toughest experience in your career? What did you do to deal with it? And how did you
overcome it?
"One of the more challenging experiences was my transition into Activision from Nestle. The video
game category was a completely new one for me and I was hired as VP of Sales just a few weeks
before E3, which in those days was the major selling opportunity for the Christmas season. With limited
time to learn the category, develop forecasts, and create a sales plan, my strategy was to dive into
as much data as I could get my hands on, insure that I had the support and input from the current
experienced sales team, and finally to trust my instincts on the changes that needed to be made
and adaptations from the packaged goods industry that could be integrated into the new games
environment. After several long days and many meetings with the team we put together the
necessary plans and had a great show. As I look back on the original document outlining the
changes to the process and package goods techniques integration, it’s amazing to me how
accurate the initial plans were and how good of a foundation those initial insights eventually
became. Launching into the detail, being open to outside input and trusting your base instincts were
all integral issues leading to the successful, but quick integration into a new business."

9. D3 PUBLISHER OF AMERICA: VP OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & LICENSING
Yoshimi Iyadomi (center), President of TS2,
placed videogame business development
veteran Bill Anker with D3 Publisher of
America as their new Vice President of
Business Development and Licensing. She
recently spoke to Yoji Takenaka, D3’s COO
and EVP, and Bill about why they decided
to take the opportunity to work together.
L-R: Bill Anker, Yoshimi Iyadomi, & Yoji Takenaka
Yoji-san, why did you decide to bring Bill onboard with D3 Publisher?
"I think from the first day, the first interview, I think I pretty much decided on Bill. I had spoken to people in the
industry, and a few people who dealt with Bill not only said good things about him, but also, all of them
recommended Bill highly to me. Also I remember that he was always a nice guy at Activision. This position, to
me, is very critical because Bill will be our face; he will represent D3 to everybody in the world so that’s the
main reason. My instinct was telling me “hire him, hire him” from day one. Also the reference Yoshimi gave
me helped. It just enhanced my opinion and enhanced what I heard about him. That’s why I hired Bill."
Bill, why did you decide to take the opportunity with D3?
“When I came to D3 and talked to Alison and Yoji I got a feeling of a company that was smart, aggressive,
determined, and more importantly had a heart. They were doing things in a way that was respectful of
people and it reminded me a lot of how I felt when I first started at Activision. The best jobs that I’ve had in my
life have been the ones where I had some instinct. When I started in the industry in 1985 at a company called
SoftKat, a tiny little company, I just had a feeling and it just felt like there was a future. If you just look at D3
right now, we’re pretty small and there are no guarantees that we’ll succeed. It’s tough to be a publisher in
this day and age. But people said the same thing about Activision when I started there: “it’s so hard to be a
publisher,” and “they’ll never make it.” I got a good feeling when I came to D3 so I decided to go for it.
Given everything else that I knew about them; the kind of strategy, the kinds of products that they were going
for, the funding that the company had, and the commitment to quality, I thought it made sense. I can feel a
future at D3.”

10. CAPCOM USA: SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF LICENSING
Why did you decide to take the opportunity with Capcom?
Years ago, my husband and I were living in San Francisco
when he got accepted into business school in Los Angeles. I
made a few phone calls to those I had previously worked with
at Lucasfilm and took a product marketing position at THQ
within the week. It was pure coincidence. At the time I joined
in the early 1990’s, THQ was struggling -- some thought it
couldn’t survive. In as short a period, the company found its
video gaming “place,” completely turned around, and the
rest is history. What is more, I had joined a wonderful group of
people that I still see. It really is and has always been about
relationships for me, the very basis of the interactive licensing
work I do. I did not originally seek out a position in the video
game industry. It was in its infancy at the time. I began in
product marketing when the company was only 36
people. The marketing positions I held over the years evolved
into the licensing specific role I had when I left THQ and have Germaine Gioia began her exciting new role with
today at Capcom. When approached, I found in Capcom a Capcom in September 2006.
slightly different but similar growth opportunity as I had in those
early THQ days. I also saw a very appealing group of people both here and in Japan that firmly believed
in Capcom’s growth potential throughout the US and Europe, which made the opportunity that much
more exciting.
What did you think about TSCI’s service?
I have certainly come across many recruiting agencies
over time, but had never personally used any until TS
Consulting. To a large extent, the work ethic I saw
reflected the same way I always try to work -- the
opportunity was presented well, and there was regular
communication I didn’t have to chase. The process, the
timing, and the opportunity itself was what they said it
would be. In the licensing business, your reputation is a
large part of what you have -- how you communicate, the
deal points you negotiate, and that you can deliver what
you promised in the first place. These attributes seem to be
as important for TS Consulting. I was very impressed in the
way they handled my move to Capcom.
Yoshimi Iyadomi, President of TS2 with Capcom’s Sr. VP of
Licensing, Germaine Gioia

11. CAPCOM USA: VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING
L-R: Nique Fajors, Yoshimi Iyadomi (TS2), and Mark Beaumont
Yoshimi Iyadomi, President of TS2, placed marketing veteran Nique Fajors with Capcom USA as their new Vice
President of Marketing. She recently spoke to Mark Beaumont, Capcom’s EVP, Officer, and head of
consumer software publishing for North America, South America and Europe, and Nique about why they
decided to work together.
Mark, why did you decide to bring Nique on board?
“Nique is a very, very, very smart man. There’s no question in my mind. But as important, he has the ability to
take his education and apply it in practical real world situations. That’s critical. It’s fine to be smart but if it
doesn’t correlate with reality it won’t help you. So first and foremost, he has the intelligence to do the job
and then some. The second most important thing was process. Nique understands how to run a
business. Budgeting, adhering to budgets, looking at what we need to do in order to have a process for
everything - from marketing planning, to positioning a product, to how we’re going to bring it to market. He’s
very accomplished in that area. He’s very, very effective at doing those things well. And then third, as an
important criteria - certainly at Nique’s level, and at levels below Nique, he’s a gamer. Knowledge of the
sector, and knowledge of the category is very, very important. I think it’s critical that you understand the
market segment. As a result, the hiring decision was a combination of those things.”
Nique, what made you decide to take on this opportunity with Capcom?
“My passion is interactive entertainment. I entered this industry several years ago with the goal of someday
working for a global publisher and developer that understood the importance of marrying innovation, best in
class business practices, and a true commitment to gamers. I found all those practices at Capcom. My
decision was easy.”

Daishiro Okada, President & COO & Ron Kurtz, Executive Yoshimi Iyadomi, President, TS2
Director & National Sales Manager
TS: Why did you hire Ron?

13. TOMY CORPORATION: NATIONAL SALES MANAGER
L-R: Janet Mok (TS2), Mark Shinohara, and Robert Shinohara
Janet Mok, Recruiter for TS2, successfully placed Robert Shinohara as Tomy Corporation’s new National Sales
Manager. She spoke to Mark Shinohara, Executive Vice President of Tomy Corporation, and Robert about
why they took the opportunity to work together.
Robert, why did you decide to accept the job offer from Tomy?
“My lifelong dream was to work for a reputable Japanese company, and Tomy has been around for over 75
years as being, if not #1, the #2 toy company in Japan. And with their products, service, and, historically, the
amount of things that they’ve done in the past, as far as selling to key retailers in the U.S., I felt confident in
going forward that I would be the ideal candidate for the company. “
Mark, why did you decide to hire Robert?
“I have three reasons: he is an experienced salesperson that has knowledge, he has good relationships with
customers, and he has enthusiasm for the toy business. In addition to that, Robert is a very good team player.
He has lived in two cultures, both Japanese and American. We believed that he would do a great job in the
company.”

14. Janet Mok, Recruiter for TS2 successfully placed two key positions at Performance Designed Products:
Sales Administrator and Product Manager. She spoke with Birute Tursa of International Sales at PDP
regarding TS2’s services.
How did you hear about TS2?
We previously used your services so I got your information from a colleague.
Why did you decide to work with us?
Because I wasn’t getting any luck on my own.
What did you like most about working with the particular consultant?
You provided a very thorough description about the candidates ahead of time, and I got what I
expected based on your recommendation and description. In comparison to the other company I
used, I didn’t get that many resumes. There were only a few candidates from the other Recruiter,
but the candidates were not nearly as suitable for the position.
How would you say our services differ from the other recruiting firms you worked with?
Well, I don’t have as much experience so I’m probably not the right person to ask but from this
experience, I much rather preferred your service in comparison to just one other company I worked
with.
Would you change anything about our service?
I don’t think so, no.
