How to enter a better headhunting company

Do you want to be a headhunter or not? How to apply for a headhunting company? For some new headhunters, the job of headhunting consultant sounds very trendy and tall. However, whether to enter the headhunting industry or not and how to apply for a headhunting company are what most people want to know. As a senior headhunter who has worked for 10 years in the field of architecture, Basil. Here are some tips for those new headhunters.

If you must be a headhunter and have no strength to choose a company, then choose an industry and choose a boss.

Choosing an industry is to choose some entity's product industry. For example, the IT industry of medical vehicles is rapidly disappearing, and so on. Try not to choose service industries, such as advertising market public relations, and so on. Finance is not a good industry for headhunters.

Choosing a boss means bringing your consultant. Headhunting consultants are generally divided into two categories, one is the job-hopping of executives in large enterprises, and the other is to be consultants from headhunting all the way. At present, the domestic consultants are mostly the latter, and the characteristics of the two types of bosses have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The former usually works as a partner in a super giant company. Generally, you can keep up with a CXO-level senior as your personal tutor as soon as you graduate, which is really enjoyable, but the pressure is also here. These people have basically never suffered setbacks, and they have been smooth sailing since childhood, and they are extremely smart, so they don't understand the mentality of beginners, and they are under great pressure to follow, and they have no intuitive feelings about basic headhunting skills, such as cold phone calls and search skills, and may not give you too much guidance to guide the latter.

The latter has a big problem that the good and the bad are mixed, and it may not be possible to take orders. It is possible for a group of people to drink northwest wind for half a year.

In addition, there are a large number of small headhunting companies with two or three people in the office building of Beishangguang, many of which are private practices that company executives or senior consultants have switched jobs. In fact, such companies can also consider that when they are headhunters, they often look at the company brand and only the performance. People with high performance are not afraid to go anywhere, and they can live alone. How to achieve such achievements is very important for the guidance of their predecessors when they first entered the industry and the cultivation of company resources, so we must be cautious.

Generally speaking, ask the consultant's name during the interview, secretly go to the bathroom and check his linkedin with his mobile phone. If he has a company background, don't hesitate to follow him. If not, please think twice.

In addition, it is not very good for fresh graduates to be headhunters, because they know nothing about the whole industry, industry organizations, internal situation of the company, post setting, personnel ratio, business scale and industry nature, so they often say a lot of stupid things and do a lot of stupid things.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to be a headhunter as soon as you graduate, unless you really find a good consultant and a good headhunter company who is willing to coach you in detail (this kind of company basically does not exist now, and headhunters are like telemarketing. When you come in, you don't train, you just call, and the more you play, the more confused you are.

Personally, I suggest going to a real industry company for a year or two, and it is not too late to come out as a headhunter after you have a basic understanding of the industry.

The advantage of headhunters is that they can get money quickly. After working in a foreign-funded industry for three years, there are not a few people with an annual salary of 300,000, and it is not impossible to earn millions before the age of 30. Disadvantages are high pressure, early death, and unless you have someone before you enter the business, it will become more and more difficult to find someone with the deepening of your work. Female headhunters usually come into contact with high-quality and high-paying candidates, and the psychological threshold for the other half is extremely high, but their own situation is not high enough to make people satisfied.

Specific pros and cons, see yourself.

Finally, if you are not fluent in spoken English, don't be a headhunter. I dare not say so five years ago, but now the new generation of children are really fierce and the competition is getting more and more fierce. A few years ago, my brothers and sisters were all average in English, and they all did well in the exam. Nowadays, people who are promoted to the top of the industry to monopolize resources need fluent spoken English to find their own assistants. Times are changing, and their English is not good. As a headhunter, there will be a big bottleneck in the end, and it will become narrower and narrower.
