What is a headhunter?

Headhunting has become a popular recruitment form abroad. The earliest headhunting company was established in the United States after World War II, which is the main business of foreign talent agencies. The main business of headhunters is entrusted by enterprises to search for middle and senior management or technical talents. In foreign countries, headhunting is not only commonly known as headhunting, but also a very professional name called executive headhunting, which is similar to law firms and accounting firms and is a respected industry.

When enterprises need to recruit middle and senior talents, "headhunting" is often their first choice. "Digging talents" is their main way. Because real senior talents will not worry about not having a job and will not look for a job everywhere. Such talents need headhunting consultants to dig. According to the current general operation process of headhunting companies, enterprises are their first customers (but talents are also their "talents"), that is, they will first put forward recruitment requirements to customers, and then find corresponding people through various channels. The enterprise of the "hunter" acts as a bridge, and "hunting" is actually a "war" that gives full play to the wisdom and communication skills of headhunting consultants and requires some patience to consider the problem from the perspective of "prey" (at least professional headhunting companies should).

Headhunting company used to be called "talent consulting company or information service company", and "information service company" embodies its purpose and service spirit of serving enterprises and talents. With the development of this industry and social recognition, headhunting companies can now be called "headhunters". Every headhunting consultant in a headhunting company needs to follow a "case" from beginning to end, and they have to run around between recruiting enterprises and talents. Talk to the headhunting company about the detailed requirements of the required position, that is, talents. After placing an order, the headhunting company will act. It is generally large enterprises, especially foreign companies, that turn to headhunting companies for help.

Headhunting is a general term, and a real headhunter should be more of a consultant and consultant. The current market disadvantages are partly caused by the special situation of national conditions and partly by the low quality of employees themselves, but I think most people are still committed to the healthy development of the whole industry!

Headhunting is really just an enterprise charge, and it is more responsible for the enterprise, but it will also be responsible for the future of the applicant, because only the applicant is the resource for long-term headhunting. You should devote yourself to his career development, so that the better he develops, the higher the platform can be. In this way, the price you "sell" will be higher and higher! Because there is a warranty period in headhunting service at home now, if you just cheat, it will undoubtedly bring trouble to your later work.

At present, domestic enterprises are more idealistic, just saying that they want to recruit people. As a result, when you ask him who he wants to recruit and what he wants to do, he is not sure. In this case, headhunters need to appear as consultants to help them analyze what kind of people they want, whether it is necessary to have such people and what kind of requirements they need. Similarly, some candidates will only care about immediate interests. At this time, you should coach him and let him have a clear understanding of his future. After all this, you may lose a business, but you will make a friend, so you will have more opportunities.

Of course, in this process, there will be some incomprehensible situations. At this time, it depends on how to treat the mentality of headhunters. For example, some companies simply go their own way, and some candidates are self-centered and don't listen to others at all. At this time, it is necessary to treat it individually according to personal circumstances.

In most cases, I would rather not be lonely than violate the above principles!

In addition, if you are a professional headhunter, you won't package the company and applicants! At most, the emphasis is different. Be a man first, then do things. I think this is the basic quality you must have in any industry!

As for the way headhunters find people, there are indeed many unusual ways. Personally, it is understandable as long as it does not cause serious harm to others!

So for matchmakers and intermediaries, this similar statement can only be said to be a small part of headhunting.
