VERDICT

Should I use Green (IT/Web業界の転職サイト)?

IT/Web業界に強いGreen(グリーン)で求人・中途採用・転職情報をチェック。気になる企業から直接スカウトも。 - green-japan.com

Depends. IT/Web job seekers in Japan should register — it is free, startup-heavy, with direct scouting from hiring companies. Employers should only pay if they hire engineers repeatedly; the ¥600k minimum upfront plus ¥300k–1.2M success fee is overkill for one-off hires.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~15 public sources; employer pricing from third-party recruiters and agency explainers, not an official public price page.
