I Received my Coe earlier thus month and I thought I’d be able to find positions but I was wrong, there’s hardly any positions left. This is strange because Heart always had positions open even in the non-hiring period but suddenly there’s hardly any vacancy left. Even their Twitter page features no open positions unlike last year when it was always full of open positions.

These guys are scum.
I actually interviewed with them to compare the offer they’d give me between other companies, and seriously, anyone can and will do better by being patient and looking elsewhere.
No travel reimbursement. Shocking pay. No discussion of location, or contract details, until you agree to all their bullshit. You have avoided a bullet my friend.
People can come into the country freely now, so high supply and less demand for teachers.
You don’t want to work for those vultures anyway, so be happy about it
It’s also been a thing unique to COVID and border closures where many people ended up staying on board with BOEs and dispatch companies lost bids for contracts. So not only has supply and demand changed, but the overall pull middleman have has ever so slightly shrunk.
The borders opened, that’s why. They no longer need to rely on people who live in Japan and people who live in Japan are more likely to know what a horrible, horrible company Heart is.
1. Heart has had a rough couple of years. They have lost multiple contracts with cities and have been blacklisted from several others. Their trend of only supplying schools with bottom of the barrel ALTs is starting to hurt them.
2. Stop being so desperate to come to Japan. Desperate people never do well.
This seems to be a common story with the dispatch companies now:
You’ll receive all the paperwork, maybe even get the visa- you know, all the legal requirements for entry- and then get told “Sorry, we don’t actually have any positions.”
Dispatch companies were always bad, and now they’re getting worse. But, people are still desperate to come to japan.
Consider that bullet dodged OP. They are absolute trash.
