Headhunting involves the proactive identification and recruitment of high-caliber professionals, often those not actively seeking new roles. It’s commonly used in executive search to attract experienced leaders with niche expertise or competitive value.
The headhunting process includes researching potential candidates, making discreet contact, and assessing their suitability for the role. It focuses on relationship-building and confidentiality, requiring in-depth market knowledge and persuasive communication.
Headhunters act as strategic advisors, guiding both client and candidate through the hiring process. Their goal is not just to fill a role, but to secure long-term, high-impact leadership talent.
