Joy Uetake

Specialist Area

I specialize in recruiting HR professionals for mid- to senior-level positions—such as Directors, Managers, Generalists, and Specialists—primarily within the IT and Technology sectors.

My Advice

We're always evolving, and the world around us is constantly changing. Sometimes that means our jobs no longer align with our wants or needs and it might be time for a new chapter. Change can feel daunting, but if you're starting to think it could be time for something new in your work life, feel free to reach out. It's never too early to start preparing, and I'm always happy to have a conversation whenever you're ready.

My Background

As a fifth-generation Japanese-American born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, I’d always dreamed of experiencing life in Japan. In 2018, I moved to Tokyo to pursue a double major in International Business Studies and Economics, earning both a B.S. and B.A. After graduating, I began my career as an Educational Recruiter traveling the world and helping students take their next steps to university. That experience now fuels my passion for supporting working professionals in my current role at Morgan McKinley.
