Head Hunter

A headhunter, also known as an executive recruiter, is a professional who searches for and identifies highly qualified candidates for specialized or high-level job positions. They typically work with companies to understand their staffing needs, then proactively seek out suitable candidates—often passive job seekers not actively looking for new roles—using networks, databases, and industry connections. Once they find potential matches, they screen and recommend candidates to the employer. HeadHunters are valuable for filling executive or niche roles quickly with top talent, ensuring companies find individuals who meet specific strategic requirements.
