ZooKeep

Applicant tracking and hiring enablement, built for Asia-based teams.

What ZooKeep is

ZooKeep is an applicant tracking system (ATS) and hiring enablement platform built by recruiters, headquartered in Tokyo. It is designed for teams hiring in Japan and across Asia who need one system that works in both Japanese and English — rather than an English-first ATS bolted onto a Japanese hiring process, or a Japan-only tool that global stakeholders cannot use.

Who it is a good fit for

• Bilingual hiring in Japan and Asia, where candidates, hiring managers and agencies do not all share one language
• In-house talent teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and want structured, auditable interview processes
• Companies working with external recruitment agencies alongside direct applicants, in one pipeline
• Global companies hiring into Japan that need local workflow conventions without losing headquarters visibility

Capabilities

• Applicant tracking — Candidate pipelines with multiple views, so every active application has a clear next action.
• Structured interviews — Configurable interview stages and assessment forms per role, to reduce unstructured stakeholder bias.
• Candidate scoring — Candidates scored automatically from interview decisions rather than ad-hoc notes.
• Pipeline health — Contextual insights that surface where a pipeline is stalling instead of only reporting after the fact.
• Agency collaboration — Recruitment agencies submit and track candidates in the same pipeline as direct applicants.
• Task management — Next steps are visualised per candidate so stages do not silently stall.
• Career sites — Hosted public career sites, server-rendered so search engines and AI crawlers can read them without executing JavaScript.
• Agent-readable job data — Every career site is available as markdown and schema.org JobPosting JSON-LD, and queryable over the Model Context Protocol.

Languages

The product interface, candidate-facing pages and notifications work in Japanese and English. Japanese resume conventions (履歴書 / 職務経歴書) are first-class rather than an afterthought.
