Headhunting.... Hi,
Just to summerise all about Headhunting....
Head Huntuing in today's scenario means to recruit an individual with a particular skill set who is not looking for a job. It differs from the regular sourcing from jobsites and or by references. Head hunting is typically done as follows:
1. As per the JD, suitable companies are identified by the recruiter.
2. The recruiter identifies specific Departments which are likely to have the candidates matching the JD in these companies.
3. The recruiter uses his skills and gets the details of people like names designation etc of the target department.
4. The recruiter then speaks to the seemingly relevant persons who may likely show their interest in the position.
5. On the consent of the person, the recruitment process starts as usual.
Contarary to the popular belief that Head hunting is only done for only senior people, it can be done for any level. It all depends upon how niche is the skill set.
Usually this task of headhunting is assigned to skilled recruiters as Companies may not like to get involved directly into this activity and face embrassment in case if anything backfires. Hence professional recruitment agencies are assigned the task.
Guys kindly add on if I have missed anything.........
Regards,
