New to Headhunting? Seeking Guidance on Starting the Process as a Fresher

Hi all,

Can anyone help me with the headhunting process? How should I go about it? As I am a fresher, I was not aware of all these things...

Please help.

Thanks,
Sri

Hi Sri,

Headhunting is the best tool to reach passive candidates. It doesn't involve any major process; it depends only on your creativity and how much you can leverage it. I will provide you with some steps on how to do it:

Steps:
1. Map the targeted companies with their company numbers.
2. Try to obtain the company's extension number (domain-wise) and document those details.

Tracing through their extension can yield tremendous results, although it is quite challenging.
3. Cold Calls: Directly call the company and attempt to reach the person you are looking for.
4. Participate in walk-ins.
5. Forums/Community: Gather leads to make cold calls.

I hope this information proves helpful.

Thanks, Raj.

Which will be the best way to hire managers or individuals at higher levels? Most of them may not respond to calls due to their busy schedules. How should we proceed to contact them?

If you have any experience, please share it.
