Japanese term or phrase: キャリア採用者
中途採用という言葉とは別に、キャリア採用という表現があります。
これに相応する英語表現はありますか？

mid-career hire (as opposed to a new-university-graduate hire)
Explanation:
As far as I am aware, there is no difference in meaning between
中途採用 and キャリア採用. Both terms refer to "mid-career hires" as opposed to "new university graduate hires."

If your audience is familiar with the Japanese labor market, then I think using "mid-career hire" is fine with no explanation, otherwise adding something like "as opposed to new university graduate hires," or "as opposed to those hired directly out of university" may be a good idea.

I hope this helps.

Executive-Level Recruiter


Language variant: Executive Recruitment

Explanation:
From the website, I think what they are trying to do is to find experienced workers who are willing to switch jobs or careers. I don't know about elsewhere, but in Malaysia, I have heard that there are job placement agencies, or headhunters, who specialized only in finding such people. We call them Executive-level headhunters, or recuiters. Hope this helps.

disagree  Mika Jarmusz: I'm sorry, but キャリア採用 is broader than Executive-Level.

disagree  Naoka Matsumura: It's not necessarily for an executive-level position. Any level of candidates with a few years of experience in the specified job description can be considered for キャリア採用

experienced employee(engineer)


Explanation:
The company profits from their experience; experienced employees serve as mentors to the younger generations. Retaining a skilled employee reduces the expense of staff turnover - costs which can range from 25-200 percent of an employee’s annual compensation (The American Management Association).

professionals


Explanation:
People who seek professional job opportunities?
People who are hired based on their skills?

Sorry for disagreeing to other suggestions...I'm not too confident on this one, either.

fast-track mid-career hire


Explanation:
この言葉の背景にはやはり公務員のいわゆるキャリア組みというのがあると思います。国家公務員試験の1級に合格したいわゆるエリートコースの人間で、出世が早い、上までいける、幹部候補生というような意味でしょう。強いて言えばfast-trackぐらいかな、と思います。
