Hi
What the books say "The custom of cutting off and preserving the heads of enemies as trophies."
Slang.
The process of attempting to remove influence and power from enemies, especially political enemies.
Informal.
The business of recruiting personnel, especially executive personnel, as for a corporation.
The act or an instance of such recruiting.

Headhunting one referred to identifying certain persons or categories of people , with certain skills and competencies and getting after them to join the organisation , (this task is done by recrutiment consultants ).But today such consultants are referred to as Retained Search Consultants.
Headhunters tend to either be generalists or specialists in a particular niche, with some recruiting firms also specialising in a geographical region as small as a city, and others recruiting worldwide. Niche headhunters may specialise in a specific industry or type of employee, such as medical specialists, information-technology professionals, senior-level executives, or sales professionals.
