Pan-Pacific guarantees each placement. Pan-Pacific will find the ideal match, or replace the candidate at no extra charge during the guarantee period.

Temporary Placement Services

Pan-Pacific hires temporary employees, as its own employees, and dispatches them to perform a particular job for a client for a specified period. As Pan-Pacific maintains the employer-employee relationship with temporary staff, we assume all of the financial and legal responsibilities of an employer, as required by law. The client simply enters into a service agreement with Pan-Pacific for the services provided by Pan-Pacific’s temporary staff.

General trading company

It’s been almost ten years since our company has started using the service from Pan-Pacific Personnel. It has been five years since I took over my current position, and during that time I have hired several people through Pan-Pacific. I’m happy to say that they are doing very well.
Recently, we had to find someone for a very important position in our company, and Pan-Pacific found some very appropriate candidates for the requirements. Ms. Ishizaki and Ms. Kamiya have always been able to respond quickly to our very specific demands. I really appreciate their ability to find the right employee for our requests.
