Head-hunting Solutions

Organisations benefit from using a headhunter or a headhunting service in two ways. Using a headhunter eliminates the need to place an advertisement for the open position and then address the inevitable list of applicants, most of which will be unfit for various reasons.

A headhunter does the tedious work of finding good candidates, providing an initial screening mechanism, which saves the Organisations valuable time. In turn the headhunter is paid a fee if he or she is able to find the right candidate, typically a small percentage of the annual starting salary of the filled position.

This payment arrangement encourages headhunters to build lasting, tight relationships with corporate clients. The more successful a headhunter is in filling recruitment positions, the more likely the client company will look to the headhunter for other job placement opportunities. Both parties benefit mutually from this relationship, as do those seeking gainful employment.

While half of the headhunter’s job is working for corporate clients, the other half consists of working for those seeking employment. Anyone can call a headhunter or headhunting service to be considered for job opportunities. Typically a resume is submitted to the headhunter followed by a verbal interview, either in person or over the phone. The headhunter gets a feel for the personality, skills, and needs of the recruit. This will include factors like willingness to travel, to relocate or to work extended hours.
