PROFESSIONAL HEADHUNTING APPROACH

SERVICE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

Direct and confidential approach to high-caliber professionals working in competitive or relevant organizations. They have relevant roles with a focus of selling client’s mission. The logic of the recruitment process in headhunting is just the opposite compare to the standard selection process, where the focus is on “filtering the weed” and the employers/recruiters are reactive. Here the employing party is the active side. The headhunter proactively searches and offers opportunities to the best professionals in the industry. The focus is on discovering potential sources, identify the right professionals and inspire the chosen candidates via elegant career management. It is by offering them opportunities for change according to their expectations.

When this methodology is applied to top level positions it is called Executive search.  The executive search assignments are delivered by our high-end consultancy practice for strategic talent recruitment – Horizons Executive Search.

HEADHUNTING IS SUITABLE FOR:

• Top, senior and middle management roles
• Where there are requirements for defined and unique skills/experience
