Hudson Talent Solutions enters the Japanese market, the second largest market in the APAC, via the acquisition of ACG Japan

Tampa, Fla., July 24, 2025 — Hudson Talent Solutions, a global leader in recruitment process outsourcing and talent solutions, announced today the acquisition of Alpha Consulting Group K.K. (“ACG”), a Japan based provider of recruitment services to a variety of companies, ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to blue-chip and multinational organizations mainly in the IT, Technology, Consulting, Pharmaceutical and Life Science sectors.

The acquisition of ACG marks Hudson Talent Solutions’s entrance in the large Japanese recruiting market, the second largest market in the APAC region, and home to many multinational companies.  Hudson Talent Solutions’s entrance in Japan allows the Company to provide the localized support many of its existing multinational clients are looking for in their recruiting needs for this unique market.

Hudson Talent Solutions has already a strong presence in Australia, China, India, and Singapore, and it has been named No. 1 overall RPO provider in APAC, according to HRO Today magazine’s Baker’s Dozen list of top enterprise providers, for two years in a row.

Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions noted, “We are excited to bring ACG into the Hudson Talent Solutions organization.  ACG brings valuable local expertise, and the team’s drive and passion for servicing clients aligns very closely with the Hudson Talent Solutions values.  With the ACG acquisition, we will now have a well-established team, entity structure, and the expertise needed to take advantage of new opportunities in the second largest market in the APAC region.  We are already in discussions with many current clients now looking to expand in the region.”

Kunal Punjabi, Founder & CEO of ACG, “Becoming part of the Hudson Talent Solutions team is going to allow us to fulfill our mission of becoming a leading talent solution provider within both the Japan and the broader APAC markets.  Since I founded ACG in 2022, our team has been driven by the goal of providing best-in-class talent solutions services to our clients in Japan, and now as part of the Hudson Talent Solutions family we have the ability to offer our expertise and serve clients in the greater APAC market.  I am excited ACG is now part of a global company with a leading position in APAC.”
