For the candidates recommended by headhunting companies, they will be tracked after joining the company to help the candidates analyze problems and help them adapt to the working environment quickly.

If the talent agency is a broad concept, it includes institutions that provide relevant services for enterprises or individuals, and headhunting companies are included in this concept of talent agency.

Talent intermediary is what we commonly call talent market. Enterprises can publish recruitment information through talent agencies, which attracts job seekers to come to the company for interviews. At the same time, enterprises can choose their own talents. Or talent agencies can also recommend job seekers to enterprises according to job requirements. Or recommend companies to job seekers.
