Answer / recruiter

Headhunting is the process of working closely with an
employer, understanding the strategic hiring and growth
needs, defining the perimeters of a search, identifying the
targets/ top talents at mid to top level of other
organizations, making a approach to the selected targets,
understanding candidates's personal Pull/Push factors,
managing and preparing clients' and candidates'
expectations and brokering of an employment contract -
covering package/title/KPIs etc.

Headhunting is a specialized area within recruitment
whereby the recruiter understands a particular
space/industry well enough to know the key performers and
players in the market.

Headhunting does not include Classified Advert, Job Posting
or Campus recruitment. Headhunters look for candidates and
not applicants who apply but target people who are
gainfully and happily employed. Headhunters often rely on
network and referrals to find the ideal candidates, not
through database or applicant write-ins. Many Top tier
firms like Spencer & Stuart, Egon Zenhder etc, rely on
technical experience + strong network + a good research
team to fulfil clients' needs.




Headhunting can derive from client's need to fulfill a
particular senior position within the organization or an
unsolicited candidate whom the headhunter feels is a great
fit for his/her clients.


For individuals who would like to consider headhunting /
executive recruitment as a career, I would advise you to
read up on MRI / Humana search methodologies.
