Headhunting is a very speacialized area of recruitment of sourcing high profiles without dependency on job portals and employees seeking employment. It involves hunting candidates through direct contact, personal meetings, attending seminars and industrial exibitions etc. It is one of the most efficient methods of sourcing and placing candidates of top positions who might be not looking for a job change. Strong networking, good references and long relationship with the candidates are the most important part for successful head hunting.Recruitment is often performed by hiring managers, human resource personnel or internal specialist recruiters, but in some cases employment agencies and executive search firms may be employed. Third parties working on behalf of a hiring company are colloquially referred to as “headhunters.” A headhunter is retained to fill jobs that require specific or high-level skill or offer high pay. Headhunters working on behalf of a firm often scour international organizations for top talent. In addition, some individuals may contact a headhunter to provide a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) or to apply for a position for which the headhunter is seeking talent. Headhunting is supported on many levels by internet technologies, including social media and online job boards.
