What is the difference between headhunting and general HR in enterprises?

First, the difference between headhunting and corporate general HR:

1, headhunting is external and HR is internal;

2. Headhunters follow the principle of market first (listen to money), and HR follows the principle of administration first (listen to the boss).

3, headhunting: mostly telephone communication, just resume push link, quickly help enterprises find talents and recruit outstanding talents; HR: There is no distinction between good and bad talents. Suitability is the only criterion. You have a thorough understanding of the actual situation of the enterprise, the concept of employing people and values, and choose people from the perspective of development in the next two or three years. The people you recruit are often more suitable for enterprises and more acclimatized.

4. Headhunting: it is to recommend high-end talents for enterprises and assist enterprises in recruitment; HR: In terms of coverage, human resources cover a wider range. Human resources are professionals engaged in human resources planning, employee recruitment and allocation, training and development, performance management, salary management and labor relations management.

Second, headhunting:

Headhunter, which means people looking for talents, is to help excellent enterprises find the talents they need. Another way of saying this word is called advanced talent search. "Head" refers to the place where wisdom and talents are concentrated, and "headhunting" can also refer to the act of hunting talents, that is, discovering, tracking, evaluating, selecting and providing senior talents. In foreign countries, this is a very popular way to recruit talents. It is translated as "headhunting" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also called headhunting in Chinese mainland, which means "recruiting senior talents or excavating high-end talents".

Headhunters' English is headhunting, which comes from Latin. It originally refers to American cannibal tribes. Cut off the other person's head when fighting and hang it around his waist as a show off. It was really called headhunting after World War II. After the victory of some countries in Europe and America, they looked for the scientists they needed from Germany and many other countries. Just like jungle hunting, they send professional companies everywhere to help them find better people. Later, the word was borrowed to become a hunter, and its original meaning was brought to China, called headhunting.

Headhunting is very different from general enterprise recruitment, talent recommendation and employment introduction services. Headhunters always focus on people with high academic qualifications, high positions and high prices. It looks for professionals and management talents with higher education, rich practical experience and excellent performance. In short, headhunting can be understood as an intermediary for senior talents and acts as a "matchmaker" for senior talents and enterprises.
