The Headhunter Network connects Employers to niche-focused Recruiters and Headhunters.
Headhunters act as intermediaries, using their network to find both active and passive job seekers that fit the employer's specific needs regarding skills, experience, and culture.
This allows the employer to save time on the recruitment process and gain access to a wider pool of talent, including candidates who may not be actively looking for a job.
How it works for Employers
-
Sourcing and screening: Headhunters actively search for candidates within their network and through various platforms, often finding "passive" candidates who are not actively applying to job ads. They then screen candidates based on the employer's criteria, presenting only the most qualified applicants to the company.
-
Saving time and resources: By outsourcing the recruitment process, employers can focus on their core business operations instead of spending time sifting through resumes, scheduling interviews, and handling other time-consuming hiring tasks.
-
Access to talent: Headhunters have extensive networks of professionals and know about job openings that may not be publicly advertised. This gives employers access to a "hidden job market" with top talent.
-
Market expertise: Headhunters provide valuable guidance on industry trends, market conditions, and what is required to attract top talent, helping employers stay competitive.
-
Negotiation and guidance: Many headhunters will assist with salary negotiations and other aspects of the hiring process, acting as a trusted advisor to both the company and the candidate.
-
Cost structure: Employers typically pay the headhunter a fee, which is often a percentage of the new hire's annual salary, so, unless it is a Priority Engaged search, there are typically no upfront costs for the employer.
